[QUOTE="James_Donnelly, post: 1467414, member: 214632"] I was diagnosed just before I was 21. I'm quite well controlled most of the time. It freaking sucks though. There is no getting around that. Sometimes I just want to pig the hell out and stuff my face with junk food but know that I can't really do that. I just want to eat stuff at the cinema but know if I don't have my insulin I can't do that either. It sucks and I'd love just a day of not being a diabetic. I can remember when I wasn't as I went through my whole teens not even having to think about it. But I know what can happen if it isn't controlled. I was diagnosed not long after my uncle died through complications of diabetes. He was in his 40s and had went from being what I thought was living a normal life to having to have nurses look after him on a daily basis for years after he fell in to a diabetic coma and that was something that really scared me.
