It's neither a blessing or a curse, it's a condition we have to live with and manage as good as possible and hopefully have a normal life as possible
I've changed the wording in the title and post now, sorry if anyone got offended by it!
So well put @philchap1
If there are any positives it would be getting regular health checks where things like your bp and cholesterol levels are checked, also (like many others have said) I don't know if I would be following a healthy diet were it not for diabetes.
... Ot "sanction" from someone with a "higher status".?Blessing isn't quite the word I'd use so I had to have a look to see what it meant. A blessing is the infusion of something with holiness, spiritual redemption, divine will.
However, it has meant that I have learned more about nutrition and I think I'm more aware of what's good for me and what's not so good.
@Tubzi I certainly wasn't offended by the wording used - it would have been the same for me if you had used 'thankful' or 'grateful' it's about finding a positive in what can be a difficult illness. I've enjoyed reading all the comments - interesting thread - and everyone is differentI've changed the wording in the title and post now, sorry if anyone got offended by it!
Oooooh, that's a bit cheeky!Every now and then I tell my partner that my bloods mean I can't drive...then have a drink and make him drive.
Have also used it as an excuse to get my way on where/when we eat!
Otherwise it's given me a better awareness of what I eat.
