[QUOTE="Gezzabelle, post: 908667, member: 180253"] Wow so much sound advice and so beautifully put. Being a woman of simple words I just say this....Diabetes is a word that defines my future. How it defines it is up to me. It can make it hell or I can make it better. NO is my watch word....no matter how hard that is to say, I still say NO. No to all the things that's will now have to be confined to my past way of eating. YES is the word for the new challenges ahead. Until someone comes up with a cure I simply have no choice. I don't want my limbs to tingle or go dead or painful...I don't want my eye sight affected or to live in fear of losing a limb. Quite simply, I want to live as normal a life as possible and a long and healthy one. So....I have to give up the bad foods and find new ways to satisfy my cravings which is in itself a challenge but I see it as just that.....a gauntlet thrown down and I have a choice....pick it up or walk away. The defiant side of me says ''to hell with it...I don't want to pick it up''.....but the feisty, common sense side of me says ''you have no choice girl so suck it up and get on with it''. Time and common sense kicks in and you realize that you really don't have a choice if you want a healthy, long and comfortable life. Pick up that gauntlet Type2Guy and run with it.....YOU can control IT not the other way round :) [/QUOTE]
