| 48 years a diabetic and I have never worried about it. I have a philosophy that says 'what will be, will be', so I don't worry. I was 13 when I was first diagnosed and knew absolutely nothing about what I had. Since then I've been in and out of hospitals on many occasions and almost every time I come out thinking 'good grief, I'm so lucky'. This is because I've seen the problems others have had to put up with and I think my problems are insignificant in relation to theirs. I've always accepted what life throws at me and to date apart from a heart attack 16 years ago it hasn't been much. I've enjoyed life and did everything I wanted to do. In fact I'm still doing what I want to do, and get great satisfaction out of life and hopefully will continue doing it for a long time to come.
