I had an awful day yesterday. An all day interview, that was not successful and a mild hypo in the evening. My other half has been keeping an eye on me, I think waiting for me to get upset.

However, being diagnosed less than 5 months ago and having been so ill, I can't help but feel grateful. So what I didn't get the job? I am healthy, my blood sugars are good. I have had no lasting damage from my ketoacidosis (something that my doctors and nurses still can't believe).

Being diagnosed has completly changed my outlook on life. I finally think that I am seeing the important things in life.

Has anyone else found some positives after being diagnosed?
 
My daughter was twelve when she was diagnosted. After a few weeks she told me: "Mum, the positive thing about my diabetes is that now I know who are really my friends."

I'm some ways this is incredibly sad. But at least she's looking on the bright side!
 
So good to read a positive post, if I had a job I would employ you with an attitude like that, obviously not the right job for you !

Well done and keep marching onwards - life is an experience so enjoy the ride and good luck the right one will come along x
 

In the same boat, severe DKA admitted to a&e on the 7th may this year.

Diagnosed on the 9th, and according to blood work, urine and glucose levels I seem to be right back on the healthy track.

Soaked up as much info as I possibly could read reams on the subject.

I am looking at this as I am now my very own chemistry/biology experiment
