When it comes down to it, most of the time I forget I have diabetes. It has been such a big part of my life that it is secound nature. It is just not something that you think about. Newly diagnosed, we all couldn't get it off our minds: What time do I do this, how much do I give, can I have...


I'd have to say I think about it ALMOSt 24 hours a day (well, except when I'm sleeping...but I always try to think about it before I go to sleep!).
Sometimes on really, really busy days I'll go way too long without checking my blood sugar and that always bugs me when that happens, 'cause I feel like I could've easily taken twenty seconds to just stand still and check my blood sugar....
