I don't know about you folk but my diabetes makes me more determined in life. If something is tricky or hard I use my diabetes as a motivation to do it the best I can. Dunno why really, I think it proves to me that it doesn't hold us back in life https://type1bri.com/zero-marathon-359-days
Living with diabetes has given me a ✻purpose✻ ..I guess.
It has changed the ✻context✻ of what I do.
For example, I don't just walk from ✻A to B✻ ..but now take an old-fashioned walk from ✻A to C then to B✻ in a bid to prevent peripheral arterial disease.
Diabetes is my fascinating ✻side-project✻ ..running in parallel with the demands of work, etc.
