I am 55 and have been living with Type II diabetes for about 5 years. You can do it! ALWAYS take your meds/insulin, eat right, and watch your weight. And keep all doctor appointments!

I'm praying for you and I know you can live a long life!

hi sorry 2 hear about ur diabetes but i had a few questions because i am at risk. how did you know you have diabetes to get yourself checked, what type do you have, had any of your parents had it, had you eaten a lot if sugar thank u

Thanks all for the personal comments..and to Dilan, in 2001 it was discovered, I have diabetes type 2, the way it was discovered: I was very very thirsty, drinking a lot of water, running to the toilet all the time, when I went to the doctor.. my blood sugar was as high as 26 (iirc). Normal level is around 6-8. (Afaik). But that is usually the way it is discovered, you are tired - sleeping a lot, dizzy, and you are very thirsty, no matter how much you are drinking it is never enough.....

edit: I am the only one in my family with diabetes, before : I was eating sugar like everyone else.. today I have to avoid sugar and also avoid food with high level of fat. Some people with diabetes are ocationally having too low sugar level, that can be dangerous, and you have to eat or drink something that will raise the level - juice for instance. (as seen in movies, I remember Godfather 3, Michael Corleone have diabetes, drinking some juice, iirc), I myself have never had a too low level, I don't know why..... Did I reply fully to you?

this is going a bit off topic, ah never mind.

Sometimes after an insulin injection, my blood sugar goes too low. It's been below 40. It's not fun.

I think we have already heard the cream of the crop,as far as unreleased music goes.While I would love to hear everything else that's in the vault,I'm satisfied with what I have already heard and 'obtained' and if the Warner Bros. remastering deal works out,we'll surely get more unreleased stuff in the coming years.I believe that the strongest,most inspired Prince music has already been officially released.No need to obsess about the leftovers in the vault.

I completely agree with you here.

I mean I love to hear literally ANYTHING that is in the vault, but I don't expect a lot of material that is up there with his best released work.

I'd love to be proven wrong though!

Totally agree with the above. 20 years ago I would have obsessed over all the unreleased music, but these days I am too convinced that we have have heard the best of his music.

Maybe this is the reason why Prince never fully exploited the internet.

I often wonder whether Prince reads our words or not.

I wonder to whom he talks to, what kind of music he listens to beside his own.

I wonder and think about what kind of music he wants to perform.

I wish I could listen to all his precious music he's put aside in the vault, maybe not aside, but out and far from our ears.

I'd personally like him to play some kind of distorsion sounds, giving a feeling that all the surrondings are vibrating

Dear thedance, this is P speaking:


I happen to not care, whatsoever, about anything that ever occured on this forum. It is nothing but a stupid gathering of people obssessed with me, but fail to recgonize how normal I am.

I also happen to not give any fuck, about your idea, or the vault, or the valuable time. I'm busy having threesomes with 3rdeyegirl, celebrating my win over WB, and planning to cancel the re master and re release of Purple Rain, now that I solely realized it has nothing to do with my manners as I've always been the guy who never gives a fuck about his fans.

This thread, and all the threads that tried to communicate with me, shall be deleted and all the orgers' attempts to talk with me, shall not go unpunished.

Bless your purple asses.

I am sure, at least, he pays people to reply for him.

By the way Prince, if you read, I do like you Q U E E N remix,

The remixes do hit people on the dance floor..

People just need to have good rythm sometimes, to feelt heir blood flooding inside, to feel alive..ha ha

Prince impersonators can be so mean at times. [Edited 7/5/14 12:29pm]

True, I do agree

To think that so many will only know maybe 1% of Prince's work throughout their lifetime...such a shame.

Somrtimes I wonder...Who do you write all these songs to, Prince? What do you work for? What's the use if you don't share....anything in life, really :3

I thought I had wondered about these at the beginning of my fan journey in vain enough, but these questions still sometimes pop up in my head to this day Maybe I'm all sentimental from listening to "Adore" now...it's been a while

P.S. To both of you who have diabetes, sorry to hear and I am wishing you the best =)

Thanks, all... for the comments,
