I'm glad that we do things to put our minds of the bad points of being a diabetic.

[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1892271, member: 468714"] Hi again, [USER=490949]@Danielle Rafter[/USER], Yes, having hobbies and pastimes provide distraction, feeling of achievement and a boost to that sometimes flickering candle, called low self-esteem. Might I say that I am not a gamer but whatever does give you interest and skills, does not bankrupt you, or put you and others at risk of harm (like climbing My Everest), does not interfere with relationships ( like my wife is a kite-widow and I, a jewellery widower) and can change and grow with you is part of being healthy. I was possibly insane, years ago, Type 1, doing 7 day canoe trips through wilderness and slightly shorter hiking trips etc. Have learnt my lesson (though opinions differ) and at 52 years on insulin I have worked out what I still don't know. Dream your dream, do what you can and a crisis (except hypos) is only so if it lasts more than 24 hours. Worrying does not help!! And do not let your karma run over your dogma !! [/QUOTE]
