I have spoken with many young people who felt the same. As I am 58, (found out 4 years ago) I was a little less stressed than you I guess. It is not fun for any of us, but we are so much better off than those who had this 20 years ago. My grandma had it, and had to give up just about everything she enjoyed because she had no way to test and see what reacted badly with her. I am type 2, which are you? I think this makes a difference, also. I felt a certain responsibility for this, because after Don (dh) broke his back in 1985, life came to a screaching halt. No more of the activities we had enjoyed before, and his deprssion made him eat to feel better, and being the " good wife " I cooked everything he loved. I gained, took off a lot, then regained some of that! Not too smart here, obviously! LOL I do keep my A1c down and try to be very careful with carbs. I seem to handle 45 carbs without much trouble. I do test 4-6 times a day and know what bothers me and what I can get away with. Take care, hugs, Marilyn Where are you in this fine world? I am in California. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Hi, Bruce, just two things to think about, perhaps the person doesn't know that caps are considered shouting in cyber land, and second, perhaps the person in question has trouble with their eye sight... I had a wonderful lady that was my best friend, I lost her back in October...because of the varies illness she suffered from, she could not see, even with a magnifying screen in front of her computer screen, ALL CAPS were fine with me... I just wanted to hear from her... Carmen Re: [alldiabeticinternational] Adolfo > > > HI MARILYN > TO ANSWER YOUR ?

Bruce, I am sure you meant to say " Adolfo, in computer etiquette, caps is compared to shouting, right? " He is a nice young man and is interested in learning about his diabetes as we all are and we don't wish to discourage him, right?

Im still very freaked out about the feeling that now this will keep me from living a long life, but I try to keep 2 thoughts in mind 1) there are plenty of diabetics who have lived with this 50 years etc 2) there are young people who die in car wrecks or from cancer, so life is not guarentteed!

Great outlook and good rationale. I became T1 at age 29 and am about to turn 54. Diabetes hasn't kept me from doing much. You will have to live with diabetes all your life but diabetes doesn't need to *be* your whole life. I think there are a few on this list who have been T1 for 35-50 years. They may not have gotten there unscathed but then, how many truly get from 25 to 65 or older with no " scathing " of one kind or another? ;-) Sandy T1 - 1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
