I consider myself blessed - because I am surrounded by 'guardian angels' who keep me on track and out of danger. They watch me constantly, and make sure that I check my blood glucose levels on a regular basis. I am a workaholic who will drive himself into a hypo with ease, so my team haul me up and give me royal hell when I get sick.
The leader of the pack is a young lady named Kylie, who rips daylights out of me when I skip breaks. Her mother works at the same store, and tells me she will tell her daughter when I have not behaved!
To me, this is so touching. Both if them say to me, 'you are special, life without you is worthless!' Customers jump on the bandwagon and say look after yourself, you are a rare find....please don't leave us!
This is what being a diabetic is all about. To inspire everyone around you, to show that you are worth life. That people see and understand your burden and know you are there to comfort others regardless of your own misfortune - this is a noble cause. We are not cripples, we are leaders. We show the world that nothing is impossible.
Tonight, I am very touched, and feeling a rare sense of accomplishment, I have found my place.
