We are all entitled to feeling anyway we want to about our diabetes. Sad. Angry. Happy. Proud. Annoyed. Hysterical (no, really, it cracks me up sometimes). Whatever. I certainly am in no position to tell someone how to feel. If someone teases me for wearing red sneakers, and I feel offended by that, ...
Hey Ginger,
I totally agree with what you said about everything being intertwined. Looking back on my years with D, dealing with diabetes on a day-to-day basis has given me so much independence, responsibility, and perspective in all parts of my life. So, while diabetes is frustrating, seemingly unpredictable, and can seem like a roadblock on normal life, I try to think about the fact that diabetes is a part of me and what I have to deal with in my life. In that way, I don't regard D as a seperate entity for me to be mad at, but rather as a part of me that I have to make the best of. I love your post!
