[QUOTE="fergus, post: 27011, member: 6150"] Leanne, your post brought a tear to my eye. I'm not saying I feel sorry for you, because that's a cop-out, a facile statement, and I'm sure you don't want to hear it. I do sympathasise though. I promise you that all the T1's I know, not many admittedly, have said something similar. The diagnosis seems unfair, undeserved, unmanageable and inescapable. Those were exactly my thoughts when I was diagosed too. I wanted punch my doctor when he told me, 'tough luck, you'll just have to get on with it' but he was right of course. You're in denial right now, as I was for many years. You also need and deserve the support and understanding of people who understand what you're feeling because they have felt it too. That's where we come in. I promise you that the fine people here will be a huge help for you. Lots of us lead full active lives, unencumbered by our stupid disease. There are a million tips and tricks which we can share. You can get control over diabetes and lead a full healthy life, there's no question about it. Your first positive action has been to get involved with the forum. From here, the only way is up! All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
