[QUOTE="leslie10152, post: 1441479, member: 352928"] [ATTACH=full]22620[/ATTACH] This is my diabetes kit. To others, it looks distressing, yet to me it is something I have grown accustomed to. It goes everywhere with me. It took time to find a useful organised system which is easy to carry and story while traveling. Other diabetics recognise it, and give me that looks that conveys understanding. The carrybag I discovered by accident. To date it is the best one I have found, and suits my needs perfectly. People see me with this and ask me how do I cope with diabetes. I smile and tell them, "do I have a choice?" I have long come to the conclusion that I cannot live as others do, but then, would I have the strength and resilience I have now after 11 years of living with diabetes? I am in the wonderful position of teaching everyone around me about diabetes, and in doing so I am becoming involved the world of other chronic incurable conditions that expend my horizons. I just found out a co-worker has manic depression. Another lives with OCD. They say, now they have someone to confide in. This is good. [/QUOTE]
