[QUOTE="Spencer67, post: 781852, member: 154609"] I found if you don't accept it it will take you over and cause problems in your life, health and personal, acceptance for me was the first stage of understanding it but not letting it define me, taking on board the condition realising its not going to go away anytime soon but being able to combat it appropriately with knowledge. I admitted i had it and needed to treat it, realizing it demands my time and effort and taking it seriously and the responsibility lies solely with me. Also realising the emotional issues ive had are not my fault, diabetes plays havock with the endocrine system and knowing this has been liberating for me, and that others are going the through the same grind and i'm not alone.
