We all produce so much insulin and when it's gone, it's gone. Makes no difference what size or shape you are. My specialist diabetic nurse plus GP diabetic nurse have both told me this and it's something I think is true.
I think we just have to accept the fact that we are diabetic and try to live with it, there are two diabetics in the house and I never wonder why both of us. It's happened and we have to live with it - plus the hassles of two different Types of insulin and all the ukky stuff that goes with it. :lol:
Packing a meds bag to go away is complex too, as there's so much to remember, but we manage and cope. I think that's half the battle
