[QUOTE="therower, post: 1446942, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=353017]@Katrina5664[/USER] . Welcome to the forum. Firstly I'm sorry to hear about your brothers situation. Secondly and more importantly is you. NO you are not on the same road. You can choose any road you like in life. Having T1 should not stop you taking your chosen route. Yes the journey may prove more challenging than for someone without diabetes but it's still the same road, you as a diabetic will just need to take more care whilst using the road. You can't ignore the speed limit, you can't cut the corners you need to observe all the road signs. You have to own your diabetes, don't ignore it ( it's not going away ). Be proud to have diabetes, it can be a very useful condition th have if you can learn how to manage and control it. Genetics shouldn't be of no concern to you. In a way you're fortunate, you have seen the power of uncontrolled T1 diabetes and you definitely do not have to go on that journey down that road. Keep posting, there's some great advice to be had on the forum. [/QUOTE]
