[QUOTE="KK123, post: 1828287, member: 451727"] The main difference for me is that after a virtual lifetime of doing what I wanted when I wanted, going long periods without eating and being very flexible (shift work), I suddenly have to think about every morsel I put in my mouth and when, I have to think in advance what I am going to do whether it be a run (no longer impromptu), a visit to the shops, arranging an appointment at work etc, constantly thinking about food and insulin. I guess that can be summed up as I miss my freedom. I also dislike having to carry insulin pens etc about with me, yes, it is slowly becoming the norm but it's still annoying. Oh, and feeling like a kid caught red handed whenever I talk to the Doctor, with the best will in the world they cannot seem to help being patronising. [/QUOTE]
