[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1594420, member: 408573"] An aside to this was that when I was first reading up after my dx I was reading the comments on an online support group before I decided whether to join it or not and my overwhelming take from the section of comments that I read was that some people treat their health as a bit of a competition as to who can be the most poorly. I found this very distasteful and did not join so my research petered out. We all react differently to our conditions but the mainstay of my view is that there are always people worse off, always. Be grateful for small mercies, we are all here in an effort to improve our chances and that, for me, is why I think this forum differs from others in that it is not geared to a specific it covers all aspects of health and well being because our Diabetes impacts on that. I will leave you with a scenario. Picture a profoundly deaf person who has Menieres Syndrome and Type 1 Diabetes. It doesn't bear thinking about. [/QUOTE]
