This is my sad story, written by a doctor specializing in internal medicine and diabetics. It is about our struggle, mine and my husband’s , an academic teacher from the Maritime Academy, diagnosed with DM type 2. We live in Europe, Poland, and we were encouraged to share our story by Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation. I have written almost the same story for my friends in Polish, some of them doctors, like me.
