You know that silly game you play with your friends (or you watch your kids play with their friends)..."Would you rather marry Will Smith and be rich and famous, or find your soulmate and be happy forever and ever?"
"Would you rather live with diabetes or...."
See, I have ...
That is really tough to say do i want to live with diabetes or live another way. Well sometimes i would want to live without diabetes because i see my friends do what they want and i can't do some of those things. Then sometimes i like having diabetes because it makes stand out from my friends. Oh and even if us diabetics don't eat salad or that healthy i think we are still much more healthy than the average person because we watch what we eat more. So i think your post was really good and adding the sandra heidi thing was great. These things are hard to answer about having diabetes or not wanting it or not. I know that sometimes people wish so much that we don't have diabetes for just one day. We all do that at least once.
Hey Jenny!
yeah, there's no shame in wishing or wondering what it'd be like to live without diabetes for a day. In fact I wrote exactly that here in this bio! It would be awesome to not have diabetes for a day!
But I still think that's different than feeling sorry for myself, you know? When self-pity starts to really interfere with our health and happiness, that's when it's become a problem.
Thanks for posting, though, it sounds like you've got a great balance of keeping a positive attitude.
p.s. Congrats on your new pump, again :)
