[QUOTE="AmandaD, post: 1193127, member: 199116"] For me I can't remember the time before I was diabetic. Its a life of numbers and insulin and injections and remembering pump batteries and little holes and scars from infusion sets, of knowing far more about the nutritional content of my food and the effect it has on me than most of my peers. Its the joy of finding out sugar free jelly can be eaten freely (I lovvvvve jelly) and have no effect to the despair of finding out carbs are not my friend. Its there all the time and won't ever go away BUT its only diabetes, I can live my life and get on with it, many with terminal diagnoses for something would wish for diabetes. The relief in my parents faces at my diagnosis is something I will never forget as they thought I had leukaemia. Its a pain in the a**e and I hate it but hey all the cool kids are diabetic and I think I'm in a pretty good club. [/QUOTE]
