it can be overwhelming, but just think you and control it; I've live a much healthier lifestyle than I ever have prior to diabetes, because i'm so in tune with my body: exercise, healthy eating, avoiding flu/ stress etc. I bet my organs are thanking…

I like to internalize most of my emotional struggles with diabetes. Only my wife and perhaps my parents know how truly depressing and maddening it can be for me. Perhaps others hide those emotions similarly and that may be why you think every diabet…

Hi Megan, I just read your poem again. Thank you for sharing your feelings.

Well, I hope you are doing fine these days.
