Not to post a me too, but me too.
I always knew that no matter what happened I could take care of myself and be OK, now if I run out of insulin for some reason I will die.
It is also just sinking in to me, that no matter how good I get at managing my diabetes I still will probably get diabetic complications and now I have to add that to the plan so that my family will be OK.
Out of all the things I have done in my life, from out of the blue I get diabetes, not a car accident, not smoking ( not anymore though), not falling from a cliff while repelling or getting hurt at work (construction and hazardous waste cleanup), nope, I got diabetes.
Those other things I chose, diabetes chose me and I didn't even get a say in it.
