Diabetes is not something anyone likes to think about, at least for me - I try to avoid it. I do my best not to think about it, but instead just think about what can be done for it. I have done my best to just make checking and counting as mechanical and non-personal as I possible can. Its almost like putting on a seat belt in your car - you never think of WHY you have to use it just that you should, so you do without question and move on with the trip. Some times it will get tight and you have to adjust it, or after a long time its uncomfortable but we always keep them on and just fuss around with them. Try your best to learn how to carb count, so that it becomes second nature something you can do in your head so fast your don't release its being done, and then make injecting like clicking in that seat belt, once its done move on with your trip. Don't think about it, just what you have to do for it - disconnect the two and it becomes a lot easier IMO. This isn't medical advice its just how I manage to deal with things as I am like you - I know only 2 diabetics in real life and never see either of them so I had to work things out myself... and on here. All the best! Congrats on your new you!</blockquote>
