| It's ok to be different! In fact, I am healthier, eat better and am proud of being different! Think of yourself as on the road less traveled . . . but a better, more informed road. You are right about it being a sugary world. It's also full of fatty and unhealthy fast food choices. We don't have it easy -- I'm not saying we do. It's especially hard when you are young and feel the peer pressure of being "normal". Sometimes I can't believe I lived through my youth.
I've had this disease for 28 years, and have made friends with it. It's taken a long time though.
I had an extreme fear of going low after a couple serious, accidental overdoses of insulin (wrong coding on bottle of strips). I believe I wouldn't be alive today if my husband had not been home. As a result, for about 2 years, I let my numbers run too high. Finally, I got over that fear, and am keeping much better control and feel marvelous like we all should.
Stay with the forum and you'll see you are not alone at all.
