...since being diagnosed with Type 2 10 days ago it seems as though I have been given a wonderful gift...does that sound mad?

Instead of sitting at my laptop, eating and generally feeling like **** (that's been my life for at least 3 years) ...I feel energised, alive and totally sure that life is get ting better, not worse...my new regime is a lifestyle change, not a diet...I will live not kill myself slowly as I had been doing..

So, I have decided to re-christen this 'condition', and for me, shall now be dubbed 'Livebetes' :)

There will be days of struggle, I'm sure, but life is beautiful and it's there to be cherished...now I love my body and am so grateful for everything it has allowed me to do.

Sending love for everyone with Livebetes...

Love

There are people who find that being diagnosed diabetic is a positive thing. I'm not one of them.. I have never seen anything good about it at all. However, your post today, and previous ones have had a very positive effect on (even) me! I agree with you that life is beautiful and to be cherished. I'm not quite at a place where I can see anything positive about being diabetic yet, but carry on with your inspirational posts and who knows....I may be there with you one day! Thank you. You have made me smile a few times now. :)

I think back and feel that yes, being diagnosed was a good thing as it has made me change my lifestyle for the better. I consider more what I'm eating and drinking, and I know alot more about food.

Great attitude and positive outlook are going to make anyone feel better.
