I'm a Type 1 for 25 years. As much as I try to live my life normally, I must say that it does define me. Having to think about every bite I put into my mouth, every bit of activity, and planning out the timing for things has definitely affected my life. I occasionally deal with depression if my BG's are not where I want them or if I'm frustrated at trying to identify patterns. I'm bummed right now because my left eye has a blurry spot so I'm getting that checked out next week. It's frustrating that I try so hard and do so many of the right things, but it's not enough sometimes. We are trying to mimic something very complicated that the non-diabetic body does naturally, and we can only do the best we can. I would probably do more intense and varied exercise if I didn't have diabetes, but it's too hard to manage my BG's when I vary things.

My father has type 2 diabetes & the neuropathy in his feet stopped him sleeping at night & walking around until his specialist recommended these diabetes socks which have helped improve his circulation for better pain relief. Diabetes has also complicated his heart meds too.

Yes. I have been a diabetic for just over two years. I have found a silver lining. Visit my blog site and enjoy my attitude!

Being diabetic for 10years has forced me to count every single gram of carbohydrate i eat.
I then began counting sugar..calories..fat and salt. in the last maybe 2years i have become obsessed with the amount im eating and i now keep a strict diary of every single thing i eat-even though im not obliged to.
I only drink diet drinks & water. No milk because its too fatty or sugary drinks.
I never ever touch sweets or chocolate. I mainly stick to fruit everyday.
My doctor told me to keep active everyday so i began exercising religiously twice a day.
My doctor then tells me im underweight.
I cant win. Im 17 years old and I already feel my life is ruined.
Diabetes is a bitch.
