[QUOTE="RoughcutAU, post: 2623209, member: 552779"] Only diagnosed almost two years ago as an adult I count myself reasonably lucky to be able to work with modern medicines and technology. While interesting … some of the stories from times past scare the “proverbial” out of me and don’t know if I would have copied especially if I was a child. Pre diagnosis I was always a very routine methodical person so this has helped me cope greatly with living with T1D. I could write a whole story (as I’m sure we all could) about the effects its had on my life (good and bad) but i will stick to my two main little gripes. 1. The frustration of seemingly doing the same thing over and over and getting a different result. 2. Family and friends impatience/giving the hurry along when I’m just trying to do the things that keep me healthy/alive. “Yes Aunt Karen* it may taste better when its hot but I can’t exactly count carbs and dose in 5 seconds”. Or “No Susan* it won’t be the end of the world because I’m just checking my BGL before we run out the door”. *Names changed to protect the not so innocent. [/QUOTE]
