[QUOTE="flynn17, post: 253683, member: 42238"] I have been a diabetic for 29 years and was only 16 when diagnosed, accepting being a diabetic, i suppose i was young and didn't really understand what the whole diabetic thing was. I can only tell you that at first it was slightly annoying doing water tests (all those years ago this is what we did before blood test was available)before eating. When i was 18/19 i did rebel i suppose, not for long because i came to realize the only person i was hurting was me. Im not perfect and my sugars can be slightly higher than they should be at different times of the year, but on the whole i keep my sugars at a level which im happy with and i have had no complaints from my diabetic doctors over the years, and i have never let it stop me doing anything i wanted to do. In my early 20s i travelled around Europe twice, i have had 2 children without any problems, they are now 12 and 9, i keep fit with walking and cycling. its a part of you, so rather than let it dictate what you can or cant do, live with it, you can do whatever you wanted to do before you were diagnosed, you just have to be more careful and let your friends know what to look for if your sugars are low and what to do.
