I was going to write a terrible line about being glad you have put a toe in the water......but i have a terrible sense of humour, so please ignore that!
Welcome to the forum. It really sounds like you have had a tough time of it, and is good to see that you have the strength to still smile about it, it is always good to have someone with a good sense of humour on teh forum, as we write about some serious stuff. Diabetes isn't really a laughing matter I know, but as it is something that I have to live with all day, everyday, I try to take it seriously, and to the best I can, whiclst still having the best life possible. Whilst being diabetic I have gone to uni, got jobs, got married, had a baby...in fact, the only thing it has really stopped me doing is flying an plane and scuba diving...and I think that the scuba is possible, if difficult. I know, not the ost exciting life...no climbing Everest or becoming a movie star..but the latter is down to not being able to act, and not diabetes.
What are you looking forward to most in 2008? Have you set any challenges for teh year?
