Borrowed time?

[azure]

Since diagnosed 1 year ago I've been feeling like I'm living on borrowed time due to medical science. When I look in the fridge I look how much insulin I have and say to myself how much life I have in there, almost as as if I'm asking myself am I supposed to still be here. Borrowed time is constantly in my head is this normal and does it persist on impacting my life like it should as an everyday thought in your mind?

I thought that when I was first diagnosed - that it was medical science keeping me alive. But that thought did go away. I reminded myself that LOTS of people nowadays have been 'kept alive by medical science' eg people who've taken antibiotics, people who've had vaccinations, etc.

There's quite a long period of mental adjustment to having diabetes, I think. My only advice is to take one day at a time, concentrate on your health and to remember you're exactly the same person as you were before diagnosis and that diabetes, although a massive nuisance, doesn't define you.

Best wishes
