I have had diabetes for 54 years and have survived all the complications associated with this disease! I learned at a young age to be a fighter, I started using injections at age 8. Stay positive, and also live life with a sense of humor as well.

i was diagnosed at 32, yeah, i think about this all the time. Some days diabetes gets in my way a lot, but we don't have a choice but to march on through. Try not to live there. Live the life while we're here!

I've had it 10 years. Very difficult mentally some days because it clashes with normal things you live with every day. I try to stay as healthy & positive as much as possible so I don't feel the heavy weight of the disease

Absolutely…. You are correct… sometimes actual war happens… but but but… that’s why we’ve created and joined these groups. Ya know….. normal( lol…. Not chosen like us) have these days too! Head up my friend…. We are here….ALWAYS…..♥️♥️♥️♥️

I've had type 1 diabetes for 28 years and I still struggle to come to terms with the fact it will never go away. I do my best and stay on top of my treatment but damn it's hard not being bitter about it still. It's a struggle everyday because no day is ever the same. I just figure everyone had their cross to bear and this is mine.
