Am i happy that i have diabetes? God no. However what makes me happy is that i have diabetes and not some form of Cancer or some illness that doctors don't know much of. I know theres millions of diabetics around the world, i know that 30 years ago they didn't know much about diabetes. Im not sitting down and waiting for a cure but hey if it happens it happens but what makes me happy is that as each day passes new technology and major breakthroughs happen. How Pumps are making it easier to control for T1s and T2s alike and also just the amount of research being put into the Diabetes research. And personally, if i wasn't diagnosed as a Diabetic i would of kept eating whatever, having fastfood and take away multiple times a week even multiple times a day. It makes me see a doctor often, it makes me get blood tests often. I know people that haven't had blood work done in 4+ years.
I know it has its downsides, but hey theres always someone out there that has it alot worse then you. Be thankful that you have the resources available and the medication to control it.
TLDR: 4:33am thoughts :)
