[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1934820"] I have type 1 diabetes. I have no choice but to take insulin. However, it does not control my life. Checking BG at least 4 times a day is not a huge impact. Putting a few things in my bag when I go out is not that tough. Being aware for hypos (no apostrophe needed) is a pest but I live with it - it does not control my life. Testing and injecting 4 or 5 times a day is not all the time - each test and inject takes 2 minutes. That's 10 minutes per day. It is not much longer than I spend cleaning and flossing my teeth and I don't think am obsessed by that. Since I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and taking insulin, I have travelled around the world, I have walked in the Himalayas, I have sailed across the channel, I have a stressful job, I have a loving relationship. Diabetes and insulin should not control your life. Please take care with what you write. I am thick skinned but someone newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes is likely to be feeling delicate and reading your message could make it worse. [/QUOTE]
