[QUOTE="Robcz, post: 899767, member: 192148"] Thanks Ruth for the reply xxx.....But wow! Your outlook on your life with the big ''D'' is something, I thought, I would never hear. You are a survivor, a roll model for young diabetics, and a well respected optimist; which I admire. Although I don't want to reach the ripe old age of 80, not even 70....maybe 60 as I quoted......However, there is one thing I am thankful for diabetes. I was in a rock band from the age of 16 to 22 where drink and drugs were a regular play time activity......Diabetes told me that I can not take these drugs due to not knowing if I was high (Drugs I mean), or my sugar was low, so i didn't take them; however, I drank to excess...every day!....Not big, and not cleaver I know....But I believe it saved me, in a strange way...... One of my band members is still addicted to drugs and drink, and the others I don't know about now..... My point is.....I understand what you mean when you say ''I am glad I have it''...... But at the same time....I find it strange to say that :-) But! We are here, we are happy, and....I don't know what to say now.....OH! I want everyone to know that people like myself and Ruth have come a long way.....and it's not the end!!!!!!!!....we are the proof!! Look after yourselves xxxxx [/QUOTE]
