[QUOTE="tshok, post: 783869, member: 125629"] I had no trouble with accepting my diagnosis...especially given the fact that I was initially diagnosed as T2 by my GP..I knew different though and was delighted when I was finally diagnosed as T1 and could get the proper treatment I needed (ie. insulin and not gluophages). Now three months on I would agree with Spencer67 in saying that it is now more of an inconvenience than anything else. The simple fact that I've got an incurable condition negates the "why me" factor. There's simply nothing I can do about it. When your islets of Langerhans are gone , they're gone for good[B]. [/B]If I want to live I just gotta get on with life with insulin injections, carb counting etc. In some ways being T1 is better for me than being T2. I can eat whatever Iike so long as I "insulate" for it :) Just take the positives out of it and don't let it dominate your life. [/QUOTE]
