[QUOTE="pvmurphy21, post: 2036943, member: 406409"] I am 53 years old... T1 now for 5 years... I consider myself fortunate to still be in a "honeymoon" phase, but like ERT I feel this may be coming to an end soon. I will admit that I was rather obsessive about my numbers for the first few years, and would get upset when my numbers were higher than I thought they should be. I am diligent about exercise and mindful of my diet. But I have also taken the mindset that I am going to enjoy myself. I have diabetes- [B]but it doesn't define me[/B]... and I [U][I]refuse[/I][/U] to let it ruin my day, let alone 1 hour of the day. My wife is a tremendous support and we work together to plan meals and substitute an extra veggie on my plate as needed (several riced cauliflower items in the frozen food section are great!). I am too busy counting my blessings to dwell on numbers that are not ideal. [/QUOTE]
