[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1632353, member: 32193"] The positives of insulin is that we are all here to talk about it and all have different views on it. In the early 80's is was much more rigid with insulin and food but now with research things are light years away from the 80's. The only thing is that more people are getting diabetes and it will change there lives but not control them as it did me when i got it. I do hope soon they find a cure to stop people getting diabetes and then they will not have to use insulin at all, as for now most type 1 diabetics have a diabetes nurse who they can phone if they have a problem which is great to have. The positive things that i have taken is that with insulin you could live where as other diseases you do not get that choice and diabetes is a growing market for insulin makers so there always trying to improve things. I am still here yes things have not always gone my way but after i get upset then i go in to fighter mode, diabetes has took some of the things i would have liked to have done but it has not taken my life. So yes there are positives with insulin and i know some people have a bad time when they are ill, it has given me a chance to be a father to my children and i would go through it all again just to have such caring children, They keep me going just a smile or to see them laughing makes taking insulin the best thing ever and they say money can't buy you love but insulin can keep you alive to be not a normal dad but to be the best dad you can be.
