[QUOTE="cassie091, post: 1853719, member: 35025"] There's no point in ranting about this condition. I am just enormously grateful to Banting and Best who discovered insulin and enabled me to live whereas my maternal grandmother died of it in 1924, the year insulin was first used clinically. Yes, of course it has its problems and I would be lying if I claimed it has not affected my life but the life you have is to be lived to the maximum. I have been on insulin for almost 60 years and lead a very active life. I work round it but I have encountered prejudice. A friend(?) invited me to a meal one day. I accepted. Then a few days later she phoned and to cancel the arrangement saying she could not cope with my diabetes! I told her that I am the one who copes with my diabetes and do not expect anyone else to that but she was adamant that the arrangement was off. Although this upset me I decided it was her loss not mine. [/QUOTE]
