[QUOTE="Brendon.Dean, post: 2318157, member: 357700"] I’ve been so hesitant to post this for quite some time now, but I feel like it will do more good than harm.. so here we go. There used to be a point and time in my life when I thought [B]type 1 diabetes[/B] was the devil and it was preventing me from everything I wanted to do and wanted to become. I felt like there was no escaping the rollercoaster ride of [B]highs[/B] and [B]lows[/B], the [B]depression[/B], the [B]anxiety[/B], the [B]frustration[/B] and [B]burnout[/B]. It felt like I had no way out and was destined for a life of [B]misery[/B], [B]pain[/B], and [B]anger[/B]. But for some reason I just would not give up, I continued to try different things over and over, learning and adapting to what did and did not work. It was super painful and I felt like a crazy person a lot of the time going through this but it was the best thing I’d ever done, which was not giving up. I learnt the power of real nutritious[B] foods[/B], functional[B] exercise[/B], proper [B]sleep[/B], and [B]stress [/B]management. I was able to change from a [B]fat, angry,[/B] and [B]unhealthy[/B] man to a [B]fulfilled[/B], [B]energetic[/B] and [B]passionate[/B] man. My [B]a1c[/B] is steady at [B]5.0%[/B] and I feel in control. Why am I sharing this message with you? When I was down and out and had nobody to turn to, nobody with the answers and no inspiration I wasn’t sure if it was possible to turn my life around. But I’m here as an example that [B][COLOR=#ff0000]ANYTHING[/COLOR][/B] is possible.
