Diabetics are like everyone else. At the same time, they are very different. However, in living with diabetes the experience of ups and downs is not only figurative but literal. This blog address issues with diabetes,and the mindset that "is" The Joy of Diabetes. I'm not a doctor, nor are the posters. Check with yours before doing anything.

Peace...............

I often hear of diabetics who are in denial that they have the disease and go through life trying to ignore it. Or often in the online diabetes forums, there are thousands upon thousands of posts by people who are so angry or burned out with diabetes.
I can only offer this advice....you get what you think about. If you ignore the disease, you won't get control over it and it will destroy your sight, your kidneys, your nerves, and or your feet. If you are focused on anger and how ticked off you are that you have this chronic and insidious disease, then you will bring more of that into your life.
I find it easier to have peace with my situation and realize that it just is what it is. I am all about "easy street" and I find acceptance and control are the easiest path. If there were an easier way, I'd be there.
Diabetes might mess with your body, and your head, but don't let it take your spirit...
Keep Going.........Peace, Bob
