[quote=Anonymous]I've had type 1 diabetes for almost 40 years and now also have some new inflammatory tendonitis/arthritis that's in remission thanks to monthly biologics, so I guess that counts. The diabetes is so second-nature now that I sort of forget it's a big deal; I'm lucky in that I have excellent blood sugar control and usually feel pretty good, and the new arthritis, which I've only had for about four years, isn't usually too bad either except some pain. I don't really have useful advice, but I guess the bottom line is, you don't have a choice? This is just what life has presented you with. You can either be discouraged and sad, or you can go live the best life possible with whatever weird health outcomes go along with it. Personally, I've always been able to just go live and not dwell on any of it...[/quote]
