Hello ! Its down to the individual but I have never let it stop me doing anything. 50 odd years of T1 never been unemployed in my life. It is very hard at times & you have to be aware constantly but get on with it. I have been to Asia on my Motorbike.4000mile in 10 days.

We probably all go through changes of anger, reflection, highs and lows but the determined person will work their way around those things affecting our moods. Sometimes it requires help from others. My own journey started with a very dark cloud over me, but the more people I met and talked with and education I received, the more I was able to grasp my condition. I do have one philosophy above everything, I might not be in the best of moods, but the person I run into on the street had nothing to do with the situation, so we exchange pleasantries and some humour (even if I am fuming inside) and funnily enough, you feel better for it and your day automatically improves. This has been a journey of 33 years and I'm getting closer to 70 each day and making the most of life. I wished I had paid more attention to my mother's condition when she was alive and suffering with it. However, looking back in time much of it would sink in later for which I am grateful. One of the best ways to psychologically move on is to become involved with others - the busier you are, the less time to let diabetes get to you and fester inside of you. I hope that is a useful point of view for you.

Hi. I have type II. It has become worse and it does impact on your social life. So much food that people take for granted will raise my blood sugars. It's not only sweets or desserts. I can feel the sugar in my eyes now when it is high. This effects me psychologically as I worry about the damage the HBS are doing to my health. You want to stop everything and I admire people who can do it but I can't and then I feel scared. I go on my exercise bike after every meal. Then I feel a failure. Why don't I just eat food that has no carbs?

Hi. I have a question, it's your own wish to write the essay? I ask it because an essay requires writing by structure, and there is a strict structure (if we're speaking about college essay) and non-strict (if you write this essay for yourself). However, for both purposes there is a solution - use of writing services. For example, when I wanted to write my own essay (yes, when I was 18 I had a desire to become an essayist), I've tried by hard to write the essay, but I didn't know what to start with. Then I decided to order an essay from the site domypapers.com/ to use their essay as a foundation for my own, and it worked and as a result I got a perfect essay )
