Hello

[cjh1]

Hello, I'm new to this site. I'm a Type 2 but hubby is a Type 1,and has been for 38 years. He is currently in hospital,having had to have both lower legs amputated suddenly and unexpectedly due to complications. I wondered if anyone else has experience of this and could pass on any advice or useful websites etc.

I would like to talk about other things as well,not just illness

Hi cjh1, welcome to the forum! I'm very sorry to hear about your husband, must be a very difficult time for you. I'm fairly newly-diagnosed so have no experience of complications, but do post any concerns here and you'll find plenty of support.

Welcome, I hope that your husband recovers quickly. As hard as it may seem to believe I have known people who's lives are so much better after having amputation.

http://www.limbless-association.org/ might give some useful information and they have a forum over there too
