Well done on your positive take on this illness, and for all the progress you have made! Christmas can still be celebrated, you can have all the diabetic-friendly food you enjoy, and you'll be surprised at how little you miss the old foods. Some people can be a pain trying to make you eat/drink stuff you know will do you harm, but you can rise above that. "Forgive them, for they know not what they do". We all go through that, but our wellbeing is more important than their desire to push you into harmful decisions. We are all here for you, and I think you should be very proud of your achievements.
