[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 116309"] I must say that i know there are other conditions etc that are much worse, but at the same time, diabetes has affected me emotionally. For some people like myself, having diabetes can stop you from doing your dream job. I'm 18 and I had spent the last 10 years researching and preparing for when i would be old enough to get to do my dream job. I got uni interviews etc, but little did i know that me having diabetes would stop me from doing this job. I had previously asked if diabetes would stop me when i was about 12 so that i wouldn't get my hopes up and then them be dashed. I've had to rebuild my ideas and had to look deep inside me to find another career path, that i might possibly like. Yes there are other other worse conditions, yes i am lucky that i only have diabetes, i've grown up from the age of 6, knowing what it can do to me, the nasty complications it can give me, and if i'm honest, if i didn't have to battle diabetes then i wouldn't be the person i am today. But there are people out there who have their dreams taken away from them because they have a medical condition, that they could not prevent, nor do they massively want. I'm pleased for the people who haven't been affected emotionally by having diabetes, you must be the lucky ones! [/QUOTE]
