[QUOTE="jlarsson, post: 1759276, member: 470208"] I think the answer will vary depending on which type you are which in most cases will decide at which part of your life it impacts it. For a type 2, you're in most cases I believe gonna be settled in life, for the lack of a better phrase, and the change will mostly just be about how you take care of your body. If like me you're a type 1, typically diagnosed as a child or teenager, it will have a huge impact on how your life is shaped in terms of education and future careers etc, some of us may lose out on that career we definitely could've had had it not been for a condition that affects our ability to study or train or whatever it happens to be, or in my case delay getting there due to periods of depression and the whole feeling worthless and what's the point bit that affects you as a type 1. Of course there's also the factor of what you're doing for a living, if you're someone that works with your mind(i.e writers, engineers, doctors and so on) your life can be severely affected by it in ways that your body won't be, but if you're someone what works with your body as your tool you're not gonna be as negatively affected unless it impacts your vision or energy levels and things like that. As for me, my life definitely sucks more than it would have without it. [/QUOTE]
