[QUOTE="librarising, post: 325158, member: 41957"] A different life, but one that has become 'normal.' Many, after diagnosis, seem to go through a period of thinking 'how am I going to keep all these balls up in the air at the same time ?' It's simply that you're going through a period of change, so new habits haven't been established, yet old habits seem inappropriate, which leaves you exactly ... nowhere ! Thrust into a canoe without a paddle, and told to make your way upstream :( So, old habits no good, but what good habits do I establish ? For some it's devouring books, for others searching online, and for others searching posts on forums like this one. Another way is to ask questions. Take one step at a time. With each step the road becomes less daunting. And I know I'm not alone. I'd guarantee many here will say the same about their 'normal' lives. Diabetes is a bit like the Wizard of Oz. Seems frightening until you see behind the curtain :D Geoff [/QUOTE]
