[QUOTE="rachel162, post: 1091900, member: 194911"] Positives of diabetes...interesting one! For me it's made me more diet/exercise/health conscious, and I'm probably taking care of myself better because I'm more aware of the effects of not doing so. Having to deal with lows/highs and pretend that I wasn't scared and felt fine has made me more resilient as a person, and also I cope with pain/illness well as nothing ever feels as bad as a bad diabetes day! It's made me more conscious of how other people could be living with hidden conditions, and made me ready to listen when people talk about their issues, as I know how frustrating it can be when you're trying to make changes but nobody really seems interested! To be honest I think my diabetes has just generally made me a better person, despite being slightly more stressed as a general! [/QUOTE]
