Our Shared Challenge
Diabetes is a complex condition,
For at the end of the day, no one can better understand the challenges we face and deal with, better than those of us who share this condition, having a faulty pancreas.
I believe the experiences we have and share make us stronger, provide us with a 'knowing' about life that few others have.
Our bodies aren't broken, they're different, that's all.
Physical life is about managing various physical challenges and that applies to all human beings.
Ultimately no matter how much your family and friends love and support you,
they can never really know what it is to deal with the conditions that occur with diabetes,
if they themselves don't have to deal with it on a personal, physical level.
But it is always good to have non-diabetics, who love you and support you and want to help you

So very true, and yet so much more to come because of our knowing. Our eyes are much wider, our hearts more loving, and our soul more sought.
Thanks for sharing. Patti
