[QUOTE="azure, post: 894807, member: 39639"] I've been diagnosed for 21 years. I was extremely angry at first. I thought it was unfair. My mum said the usual "There are plenty of people worse off than you" but at first that just annoyed me too. I wanted to say "Yes, I know that, but this is still CR*P!" But after a while, remembering that did help a bit. I don't think I'll ever accept diabetes. Partly because I see accepting it as almost 'giving in'. D is an extremely unwelcome guest at my party and I'm not going to accept them. However, I wanted to get on with my life, so to do that I needed to move on and not brood over diabetes or let the daily grind of it get me down. I do that by focussing on getting my BS as good as I can. That way I can convince myself that I'm 'winning' against diabetes. I've also found this forum very helpful. It's such a relief to speak to other people who know what it's like, and can offer help and advice whatever problem you have. You're not alone here. [/QUOTE]
