Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 968909" data-attributes="member: 88961">Thank you Totto, but I don't see it that way at all.  I see myself as someone who was holding all the bad cards in my hand, but in my final draw, I drew all the aces in one go, and went on to win the whole pot.  When that sort of thing happens, one doesn't forget it, and one (OK, this one!) tries not to abuse the privilege of a full, healthy and happy life.  So many people don't get the second chance I did.  It would be such an insult to every one of those who died trying with all their hearts to just throw away the opportunities I have been given.As I said when I made my disclosure, I don't talk about this openly very often, and I never thought I would, on a forum with this potential number of readers, but I chose to.  I don't want to come across as any sort of goodie-goodie or an evangelist for life, but knowing how afraid I became in that dark place, all those years ago, I couldn't ignore anyone (and I mean anyone, not just akindrat) heading in that direction.  I had people help me to recover, so I see it as important to just do whatever I can.OK,....... You're safe to let the sick buckets go now.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
