Hi All some tie ago i studied an Open university course on Diabetes care and read a really interesting anonymous article written by a person with diabetes. in the article she described her initial diagnosis as being given a parcel to carry, and went on to describe the problem they had while carrying this parcel, sometimes it was small and easy to manage on other occasions the parcel got so heavy they had to drag it round and on some occasions she had to carry numerous smaller parcels. life with diabetes is sometimes easy and sometimes hard, and sadly if we don't control our BGL's we will suffer with complications. how do we deal with it ? there is no straight answer but the way I cope is I accept I have got diabetes and try to control it rather than it controlling me. please remember we have the right to agree a structured treatment and medication plan, and there are many types of treatment. try and understand what's happening it will help and remember you control it not it controlling you. good Luck
