[QUOTE="Trixy83, post: 781864, member: 162941"] I'm 5 weeks since being diagnosed as type 1, my whole view has been what's the point getting upset/down/moaning etc, I'm still going to wake up every day and it's still going to be there. So for me acceptance and dealing with it were my only options. Despite still not having a handle on my blood sugar levels I'm not letting it stress me. I'm not putting my life on hold or shutting myself away from the world. I was at a gig on Sat night, my friend and I managed to get right down the front of the crowd, then 9pm came and it was time for me to take my insulin, rather than running off to the loo and hiding I just thought to hell with it, I've nothing to hide or be ashamed of so I just did what I had to right there (the band weren't on stage so thankfully the crowd wasn't jumping around!) But that was a huge step for me. I figure it could be worse. It's a controllable, manageable condition and I will control/manage it! [/QUOTE]
