Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="MangosteenElbow" data-source="post: 1621407" data-attributes="member: 322425">".... having diabetes is like having a life sentence ..."Yes well everyone has a life sentence.On being diagnosed the impression I had was being marooned on an ocean sandbank, surrounded by deep water and just seeing everyone else on the the beach.Then with a bit more knowledge and management, my impression changed to being on a ship.  Ok, I would not dock in a port but I was on a journey.Then, later, with more knowledge and insight than every health care provider who ever billed me and seeing so many inspiring stories and interesting perspectives from people on fora like this one, and with  resolve that was lacking when I just followed advice, now my metaphor is that I am captain of that cruise ship. I am setting the course, the cafeteria menu and the entertainment program and the sports on offer.Others can come along but it's my cruisey journey.(Edit: changed "illed" to "billed"!)</blockquote>
