I hope I didn't come across as knocking the little girl, cause that wasn't my intention at all. We all have varying opinions, and that's cool.
I think what I was getting at, is the negative spin the media loves to put on having Diabetes - like it's the world's worst "burden." That was my biggest annoyance. Then, to utilize just a few of the little girl's comments (that happened to reflect the things she personally felt dissatisfied with) to push that logic is even more irritating. Not every person that has this condition feels that way, but you never seem to hear from those who don't...
