[QUOTE="bumblebee95, post: 891344, member: 122436"] Hello I was diagnosed 11 years ago too aged 9 years old. At the beginning there was a novelty, I was very open to the changes that were occurring in my life, I dunno if this sounds stupid but I began to feel special... Then once I started taking care of myself I started to feel the huge burden of diabetes, I questioned how my life could be so different without it, how I could be normal. This normality had become an obsession. I discovered ways of manipulating my diabetes and started to do this, I was so fed up going into dka a lot of the time. Diabetes, I felt had ruined me. Now I am 20 and I still feel a little pitiful. Diabetes has been babied down so much to my family and friends that they think it is a mere injection and then over and done with. They do not realise that it is so much more than that And the notion of us 'leading a perfectly healthy life' as reiterated by diabetes care teams is superficial for a lot of us Take care and apologies for the esay, I had a lot to say :angelic: [/QUOTE]
