[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 1632628, member: 68789"] Same as you, tim2000, except that it was me who decided that it wouldn’t hold me back. When I was diagnosed, back in 1969, aged 20, I was given a leaflet. On the cover there was a picture of a group feeding the pigeons in Trafalgar Square with the caption ‘You too can lead a normal life’. My response was “Aw heck, not like that!” and I was probably a bit too reckless in the early days. Diagnosis, after a long, horrible, eight month slide into DKA (I probably honeymooned pre-diagnosis) was wonderful, but it did seriously impact on my time at University, especially pre diagnosis. Since then, carting everything around et al has become second nature and the only real impact occurs if I forget something. Driving home from work to get that insulin pen was a real self-inflicted nuisance! [/QUOTE]
