[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1476412, member: 318202"] I guess I remember when I was 21 - had already been living with type 1 for 17 years - I was in University, taking one shot a day (Lente - made from Beef and Pork) gave the same dosage every morning and never tested myself - this went on for years. I was also touring with a Rock Band during part of the year. Like my non diabetic peers I went out almost every night and drank foolishly. and exposed myself to other intoxicants, Somehow I survived ... Coming from that perspective: Try having some fun and don't get stressed if your BGs run high - from the 51 years of living with this thing I've learned to have as much fun as possible and to live life to the fullest - I'm still doing that and I've already out lived many of my non diabetic friends and I'm only 55 years young. I could die tomorrow or die 30 years from now - I have no idea - but one thing for sure - I have no regrets and I wouldn't do anything differently if I had to do it again. So in spite of your challenges - you gotta make the most of life - if your BGs run high try to get them down but if you have placed expectations on yourself or if your health team has - (such as staying in the normal Blood glucose range all the time - being perfect etc) .... sure maybe in an ideal world - but we don't live is such a place. Good Luck and all the best! [/QUOTE]
