[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1285986, member: 318202"] That's great Joshhall, fortunately I was diagnosed very young so I don;t have many memories of what it was like not to have diabetes but I can understand how that would be a big shock for teens or young adults having to suddenly change ones lifestyle. Just yesterday, I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up some test strips and get some insulin refills and as I was heading out I said to my spouse - "You know it's ironic, I just had a thought that it would be nice if I was suddenly not diabetic." My spouse looked concerned as I've never said that before. I then added - "it's not the condition or fluctuating Blood Sugars or the possibilities of unexpected hypos ... I can deal with that, it's the inconvenience of always going to the pharmacy or timing my prescription renewals or waiting in the doctor's office for an hour only to be told things I already know." No pharmacy or doctor visits today :-) Have a good one! [/QUOTE]
