[QUOTE="BigRedSwitch, post: 784774, member: 86237"] 'Hope' would suggest a sadness in the fact that I'm diabetic. Genuinely, I don't care. I don't let it affect my life any more than I let shaving my head affect my life. Any 'sadness' I feel is accompanied by frustration at the people who DO 'hope' for a cure. If there was a 'eureka' moment, then great. Otherwise I'll just continue - happily - as I am. I don't care if there's a cure or not. Given the information at hand - and a deep understanding of the way type 1 works - from 38 years of consuming that information, and 41 cumulative years of dealing with it - it won't happen in my lifetime or my sons lifetime. And I'm just fine with that. I would appreciate it if this was understood, and you didn't waste your sadness on something which really doesn't require it. Seems I'm amongst the happiest people on this thread, as I don't NEED hope. :) [/QUOTE]
