[QUOTE="martsnow, post: 993048, member: 213703"] I echo your reply Having only recently been diagnosed six weeks as type two, I do not see myself with an illness, It is more that I have a condition that has to be managed and controlled. It is the same with my mental illness of thirty years, that again I do not see myself as ill, yes I do suffer with severe depression, and suicidal thoughts, but these conditions need treatment and management. To me saying I have an illness "smacks" of "poor me" wanting sympathy and special treatment. I dont want any of that. I just want to get on with my life and "manage" it along the way. Personally I am far happier with the Diabetes than other ailments, because that is more in my day to day control, I feel that I control it not that it controls me [/QUOTE]
