Noisy Bastard Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 QUOTE (Necromancer @ May 13 2008, 06:33 PM)Q 107 Rock Report A few posts down is a post from Lindy Young. Very poignant. There's also a post from Ian Grandy. He worked for Rush for many of the early years. He also had nice comments about John. And there's a post from Donna Halper, too.

Big difference. That disease is brutal...I'm telling ya...and we have no idea how much Rutsey took care of himself. As I said, you can live a semi normal and long life with Diabetes, but you have to do a LOT of things to take care of yourself. If he decided he just didn't want to do it anymore, that could lead to something like this very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea it can cause premature death. No offense...but Diabetes IS DEFINITELY a Big Deal...and by the way there are different "types" of Diabetes...Type 1 and Type 2. My father was a Type 1...menaing he was insulin dependant and terrible complications his whole life. He dies in his early 60's from cancer...but it was indirectly related to how Diabetes affected him. Your grandma may bea type 2...I'm not sure.....
