[QUOTE="F1_fan, post: 1499938, member: 415533"] I was diagnosed as type 1, six years ago and it came totally out of the blue..I was in shock and terrified because my sister died the previous year, and that was diabetes related. She had been type 2 for years and she needed to go on dialysis. She had a heart attack after her first session and suffered brain damage. The sad thing is, she had always been overweight but she spent her last two years losing a lot of weight by healthy eating and exercising constantly. In the beginning, I became very depressed and lost interest in almost everything. After a while, I came round, got used to it and got on with my life. After all, it was only 2 minutes of my life twice a day, for a tiny jab and a tablet. I quit smoking straight away, and my wife helped by quitting as well..With the money we save, we have regular weekends away and treat ourselves to some new gadget or other that we couldnt afford before. I learnt not to let diabetes rule my life. [/QUOTE]
