I used to (a very long time ago) counsel teenagers with Type 1. One person was already losing his eyesight and having serious kidney issues. He would say he just wants a normal life. He died when he was 21. To tell someone with such serious complications that it is a goal of living with Type 1 to have a normal life would be cruel. You and I are fortunate in that, for whatever reason, we haven't had these complications (or at least not as badly). Some folk aren't so fortunate and I think having that as a goal fails to take their experience seriously.</p></blockquote><p></p>
