[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1354942"] As I was diagnosed with Type 1 in my 30s, I can say that I do all the things with diabetes that I did without: I eat the same, drink the same, exercise at least as much, work a stressful job, travel frequently, try new challenges (sky diving, sailing, canoing, walking in the Himalayas, Via Ferante,...). The difference is I know my way to the local hospital as I have a diabetes review, I am no longer afraid of blood tests (which is sad because I can no longer give blood), I am aware of the carb content of all I eat and drink, my finger tips are bruised from BG tests (about 6 - 8 a day depending on what I am doing especially exercise wise) and I have a "pack of cards" sized pump attached to my waist which I press buttons on every time I eat and most times I prick my finger.
