I was diagnosed on 19 August 1974 - a day that will not forgotten.
Since having diabetes T1, I've had the full gamut of problems: eyes (laser surgery, etc.), leg cramps (vascular), injection site atrophy, regular hypo's, nerve damage (no sensation to heat or cold down the left side), a mini-stroke, very slight foot worries (but a podiatrist has solved that thankfully) and, you know what I keep thinking?
There are millions of people on this planet that have far worse conditions/situations they have to cope with.
