[QUOTE="rochari, post: 1698814, member: 68255"] Well over 50 years on insulin here. Diabetes gave me a different and sometimes frustrating life. I’m not sure if it did ruin it but it certainly made it very difficult at times. Being diagnosed so young built in a discipline, driven by doctors, nurses and parents all those years ago, about everything connected to the condition and that is sometimes not a good thing. I remember a doctor telling me that with the new insulins I could now eat this or that. It took me years to be comfortable enough to take that advice. I always feel I have never ever relaxed with it. That constant discipline tires me out. Yes, what it’s done has kept me fit, no diabetic complications BUT some days I really, really despise my diabetes. Perhaps that’s an age thing now but not sure.
