Am I a control freak? A striver? A rebel? Maybe I'm self assured? A slacker? An ostrich? Or am I just along for the ride?
Diabetes can really take a toll on your life, your actions, your experiences, and your personality. It challenges your likes and dislikes, your dreams and impossibilities. It's continually stretching you, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse.
For me, diabetes is always present. It never leaves, no matter what I do. My thoughts are riddled with diabetes questions and answers and ideas. My body constantly checks itself to see where my diabetes stands. Everything around me is marked with the signs of diabetes, from the meter in my purse to the prescriptions in my fridge to the test strips everywhere I turn.
