Katherine....so glad you made it through that to tell us about it. I know it can not be easy. It does help to have dealt with something so huge in your life to keep things in perspective, I'd imagine. Your precious nephew is lucky to have you.

I dont think God created diseases I think they come to give us a sign that we need to change something in our lives. I think diseases come because of what we eat and what chemicals we are exposed to. The more we can get back to living life the natural way and eating the foods we were designed to eat then disease is way easier to handle, we feel better and life feels a lot easier.

The way i see it, in my case, is that God doesnt do anything. Hes just an entity that people worship, he has no say in how our lives are lived, and had no "predestination" plan. its not a punishment, just something that happened. some mutation in cells that caused my pancreas to stop producing insulin, which led to me developing Type 1 Diabetes. God, you can say, is just there, he doesnt control me. I control myself. I dont see diabetes as a punishment. Diabetes is something i have to live with no matter what.

I expected this thread to be controversial when I started reading, but have found it therapeutic. Thanks for sharing all your perspectives.

God shows love, mercy and strength as well as hardships, lonliness, and trials to the just and unjust alike. I feel like God gave it to me and not my identical twin because He knew I could handle all the hassles and issues related to diabetes. He gave me a wonderful son who is not diabetic and He is using me as possibly an experiment in the future. I give thanks everyday just to wake up and be the best person I can be that day. Diabetes is just part of the day.
