[QUOTE="jgibson1962, post: 253643, member: 36667"] I am a horse rider and enjoy life, i havent let Diabetes get a grip on me, everything i do now i did before, i always carry a can of coke and a couple of digestives wherever i go, its no big deal and i can carry these items even when on horseback, i can even test on horseback if i have to, this has the benefit of improving my balance as i prick my finger and get the reading, with a stroppy Mare under me. The point i'm making is that, if you accept the fact that you have this disease, learn to control it, learn about it, learn to carb count and work out the maths in your head, ask questions, then theres no reason you cant live a full and active life. This disease is not life changing, that is my mentality, i took 3 days off work when i was diagnosed and they (The NHS bless em!) got me stable, i havent taken a day off sick since. If you let it beat you, it will beat you. Good luck..... [/QUOTE]
