Perhaps this should be in another thread but I'm going to ask here anyways, for now. How can you, and others, say that you don't think about your diabetes that much? I think that's great that you can be like that and I really want to be like that myself. Unfortunately for me it consumes my thoughts almost every minute of my waking day. I constantly think about where I am, too high, too low, what if I sit all day at work will I go high, but I don't want to bolus too much to go low, is my basal right, what will happen to my BGs whem I get active. I worry about complications by the time I'm 50 when I still have at least another 20 years to live. Will I retire? Will I have enough $$$ to help my condition if I live to retirement? Am I already hypoglycemic unaware? etc.....

Don't get me wrong, I would love to just not think about it too much, but in order to not think about it too much I fear I won't be able to control it. I'm at a loss here.
