[QUOTE="Alison54321, post: 2150648, member: 472744"] Hello [USER=118017]@hollyslot[/USER] I agree with what others have said, I just want to flag up one other thing, as it MIGHT be worth thinking about, but then again might not. T1D can maybe force us to focus too much on negative things about the future, as there is a tendency to try to scare us into controlling our blood sugars by telling us about all the bad things that will happen if we don't. If you've been hearing this since you were very young, you may have internalised a negative perception of the future, not a positive one. In the 20 years since you've had T1D there have been lots of changes in technology, and the future is much brighter for someone with T1D now. Though there have also been over the years been many people with T1D who have led very happy and successful lives, but we never got to hear about them much. It just may be worth exploring whether that negative view of the future has become too predominant in your thoughts, not through your fault, but just circumstances. Technology has made the lives of people with T1D much better, and there is lots to look forward to, as you live. and grow, with the challenges it creates. [/QUOTE]
