[QUOTE="anna29, post: 340361, member: 30936"] Hi All. Am wondering what positive things we can/have learned or achieved through having a Diabetes condition . One thing from myself is - since D-Day [Diagnosed Day] It has made me value my own health and sense of well being much much more . Quality of life is much more appreciated too . I have recently been thinking had I never had this - would I have the paid the same attention to my own health and well being as soon or with the same focus or made the same active effort[s] to appreciate or change things as much or even sooner ? I am - in a strange way 'grateful' I ended up with Diabetes as I was quite cocky and unappreciative of many things in life ... Good example of this was when younger - : Always being tiny in frame and often skipped meals - ate chocolate instead of proper food! Well remember my school chums heading for the chip shop at lunch times and I would always head for the local newsagents for the chocolate ! [thinking I was healthier than them - having a mars bar instead of chips] Thought as I was always tiny - I could just do as I liked ... D-Day was the kick and shake up - I needed . Grown up fast since then 3 years ago . After finding this forum and its wonderful support and amazing members here. I learned fast through many mistake's made as I tackled a new routine, low carb meal plans, new happier active lifestyle plus insulin therapy and successful self management of my diabetes condition. Have turned my how I was living life routine and structure around . Its all so much for the better now :thumbup: Anna.[/s] [/QUOTE]
