[QUOTE="Miasma, post: 78950, member: 14200"] Honey, if there's one thing I've learnt in life it's that you just gotta stay positive :) I'm only 18 and I was diagnosed this year, and it scared me silly, I was on the bad side of it because i went undiagnosed for so long I was in severe ketoacidosis, and my eye sight certainly isnt as good as it used to be, and by hell do I have my down moments where I just sit and cry because i'm at 12 and I want nothing more than a bread roll, but try see the glass half full, rather than empty. Diabetics who keep it under control are more likely to live healthier lives than none diabetics, cause we eat better, we exercise more and obviously we're told to stop smoking, haha. You may have seen the bad sides of it, but when I was in hospital, I was amongst these old ladies who'd been admitted with broken hips, one was in her nineties and she was diabetic and had been since she was in her twenties, so long as you're responsible, you can rest assured you're going to have a better quality of life :) good luck! xo [/QUOTE]
