[QUOTE="Joel Fabric, post: 60968, member: 16269"] Hi, I'm Joel, I'm 23 and have been type 1 diabetic for about 8 months. After finally coming to terms with the change in diet, the daily injections and the fact I can't leave the house without my insulin pen with me, I've managed to make diabetes part of my daily routine. For anyone who thinks that finding out they're diabetic is the end of the world - it's not! Yeah, I have to watch what I eat, but I now eat a hell of a lot healthier than I used to. And it doesn't stop me doing a thing. I'm a guitarist in a band, and that involves a lot of travelling, a lot of very late nights and a lot of carrying stuff around. I thought having diabetes might mean having to give this up, but there's no reason you can't be diabetic and be an aspiring rock star! If you treat it as much a part of your routine as brushing your teeth, there's no reason being diabetic should stop you doing anything! Joel oh, and if you're interested, you can hear my band here: [url=http://www.mountfabric.com]http://www.mountfabric.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
