[QUOTE="Stephen89, post: 1315130, member: 84763"] Here Is My Honest Opinion I've been Type One Diabetic since I was 3 (24 Years) Its been more of a Roller Coaster than an easy ride, I'm Not the best controlled or even considered a "Good Diabetic" I go for weeks being controlled and sticking to the book but the rest I spend sticking it to the man, I have Never ever missed an injection or Blood Test But my own issues lie solely with me being Lazy and "Giving up on myself and my health" << Bad, I Know!! Recently (8 years ago Ha.) I was also diagnosed with Epilepsy Also. I Began my Journey on 4 Potatoes, Spoonful of Carrots and Small Slice of this and that, Having to wear a "I Am Diabetic" Badge at school all day long and taken from class to go and fix my sugars, Mind you things haven't changed much today as the boss requires an email if I need to go and fix myself, Only thing that's missing is that badge Ha. I enjoy playing football, always have and always will, Growing up was some what difficult with not only the football gear in the bag, but the BG Metre and bottle of lucozade and crisps Etc. Some of the team used to look at me funny (So would I) But after explaining they understood, It was more the times of being out young with friends kicking around the streets and park's and having to leave the fun to go do a test or eat a meal, But again I was getting used to all this after time. High school again was no different, I had the badge and half of the kitchen in the bag going between classes. The older I got the lighter the bag got, when it was lucozade tablets and smaller bottles of juice. I guess my quick story is the same as most people on here starting out young and having to go through bad times But life itself is not very easy and neither is the road ahead, But all you need is that one person behind you giving you a shove in the right direction, for me its my wife, who picks me back up and dusts me off every now and again. Anyway this may be a pointless read or a not so bad one, who knows :) [/QUOTE]
