[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 1736890, member: 388932"] When you start looking at the broader picture, regardless of ailments imposed on us, what can anyone describe as a "normal" life? A normal life is a Utopian dream, and probably unfulfilling at that. R. D. Lawrence (1892-1968) developed diabetes in 1920, and was amongst the first to be treated with Insulin. He lived a very fulfilled life, even injecting himself through the trouser leg at parties and dances, with a glass syringe! He also made it possible for Type 1s to live longer as a result of his research over many years. To live till 76 in those days was an incredible achievement with a condition that was only fractionally understood in comparison with now. His attitude says it all. [/QUOTE]
