[QUOTE="joelcam, post: 182471, member: 23163"] Hi Rebecca, I actually started this thread with a view to making people laugh and see the funny side of being a diabetic. I read your post and can see you that you took a slightly different angle but it's all good - nice to get things off your chest! You mentioned a lot of things but one thing that you said that stuck in my head was that you used to feel like you could conquer anything and don't anymore. The way I feel is quite the opposite, I feel more like I can conquer anything now! Being a T1 is a real challenge (but not as challenging as what some people go through) but the fact I can kick it's @ss everyday makes me feel like I can do anything. Appreciate things become more challenging but the only limitations are either ones you create yourself (as in I can't do that anymore because I'd probably have a hypo etc) or ones that are good limitations (such as I can't eat 3 donuts in a row washed down with a litre of coke). Sorry to hear you feel as bad as you do about it and I guess you are looking at T1 from a different perspective. I may have hated it had I been your age at diagnosis rather than 31. Hope things work out for you. JC [/QUOTE]
