| You need to put yourself and your diabetes in front of everything else in life. Then when you have good health habits, I promise you can get on with life. You don't have to be obsessed and abnormal! A good reason for this is that you will feel better: be less moody, recovery from colds or aches and pains will be faster, and you will develop the habits you need for the rest of your life (frequent testing for one). I think the more you test, the better control you will have. Many of us slipped up pretty bad during our youth, and are likely paying for it today with annoying complications, even if minor ones.
Since it's hard to worry about 20 years from now, please understand your current quality of life can be much better (emotions for sure) if you get control of this thing. Stick around DF, sign in daily if possible, and that alone will probably help you!
