Hello! I'm 57 and have had type one diabetes since I was 13. Married 33 years. My neph says that I'm about a year away from dialysis and am having a hard time figuring out what type ( hemo or pd ) to use, so far I'm leaning on pd. I work full time as a toll collector on the New Jersey Turnpike. Thanks for having me.

Welcome Bada Bing -

I'm a 44 y/o type 1 diabetic that started on PD about a month ago.  I've had my struggles with it, but still feel it was the right choice for me.  I'm sure glad I found this place though.  It's been invaluable.   :2thumbsup;

Welcome to our community!  I just love your name - Bada Bing!  I also love your age (it's the same as mine) Good people!  This is a good place to help you to make up your mind.  There are thousands of posts for you to read, so get going.  But don't just read.  We need to hear from you.  We want to know how you are doing.  This site has developed into a real family.  The main difference is that the people in this family know EXACTLY what you are going through and so are more able to be there for you.
I got loads of questions answered on this site.  Also much helpful information was given.  So let's hear you.

Bada Bing,  Welcome to ihatedialysis.com.  You are in the right place my friend, many members have come here asking questions and finding answers, i sure hope you do the same.  I was on Hemo for 3 years until i made the switch to PD and it was the best decision i ever made (i just wish i would've made it sooner) ;)   We are the best support group out there and we are always willing to listen, advise and help you out any way we can.  Looking forward to hearing more from you.  :2thumbsup;

 :welcomesign; I too am a diabetic and after much thought and learning found out that PD was not an option for me.  The nephrologist told me it was like eating 16 milky way candy bars a day.  So he put the halt to that one.  I am now looking towards using nxstage and dialyzing at home.
