[QUOTE="lionrampant, post: 91975, member: 8589"] I've always been on the other side of the fence when it comes to this issue. I've tried to be understanding of other people's reluctance to accept their condition and the stress it causes, but I always end up seeing myself as a 9 year old boy being told he'd have this condition for the rest of his life and taking it like just another day. Or put it another way: You don't have aids, cancer, or any other number of life ending diseases. You have diabetes. Yes, it sucks. We all want to lob cream pies at the offices of Novo, GSK, etc. because they've dragged their heels when it comes to curative research, but we're a lot better off than many others. I for one am sick to the back teeth of fluctuating blood sugars, but if I had the choice between solving that problem or having my ex-gf back? I'd have to seriously think about my choice. Diabetes is just one thing in your life. One thing that you can control - unlike so many others. You can make it work, and you can save yourself from complications if you choose to. Everyone gets screwed over in life, in one form or another - ours fate has been to have our pancreases explode. Rant over. Hey man, glad someone else knows about the problems people used to have getting insurance and the likes. I'm lucky that I'm young enough not to have encountered it (except with holiday cover), but I know the history and I have to say we need to keep an eye on the insurance companies to make sure this stuff never happens again.
