[QUOTE="HLC2017, post: 1447812, member: 394996"] Dear Scott, Thank you so much for this wonderful message. You figured out exactly how to engage my interest and boost my morale: now I have legendary women to look (and live) up to! I also love the way you have reframed your diagnosis to make peace with it. Military language seems to be all-pervasive in much historical and contemporary literature about diabetes and disease in general (probably since the emergence of germ theory from the 19th century, I should think) and while I can see why it might be helpful for rousing public interest, drawing funding, etc, you are right that it can't be good to feel 'under siege' or on the battle lines everyday. Henceforth I shall be co-operating with my diabetes ;-) Thank you again, and take care, Hannah [/QUOTE]
