[QUOTE="ExtremelyW0rried, post: 1828386, member: 429908"] T1 takes away any spontaneity. I cannot imagine the freedom of just fancying something to eat. Going to bed earlier than usual without them having to wake to check levels (drop when I sleep at unusual times), going for a run or a walk - particularly in hot weather. Even having a warm bath. I have to check and assess my levels all the time. I have to make constant judgments to keep myself alive. It is draining. I would so love a day off. I was diagnosed aged nearly 12 and it didn’t bother me for years but these last few years it’s really got me down. I’m more tired than my friends seem to be, much much more tired. I’m more anxious. Life is not as fun. I know everyone has their issues but I have my issues AND t1 diabetes. It is relentless and time consuming and if you get it right what’s the ‘reward’? The reward is what most people take for granted. Living to old age, not going blind, keeping my limbs. [/QUOTE]
