It requires both strict control and an improved lifestyle to deal with diabetes, for once this is far more easier to deal being a diabetic than to be accepted as a diabetic in the society.
In country like India where diabetes is taking the form of an epidemic the number has tolled but the awareness has not. For most of the people it is something contagious.
Unfortunately, for girls it is even more difficult to fight diabetes and orthodox society. I feeling more guilty to be a diabetic because very few people around here have an understanding towards diabetes and diabetics.
Don't worry, you are not alone. I have seen many Indians who are diabetic and the awareness is growing - slowly but steadily. You need to remember India "is" the Diabetes capital of the world, so there will be significant number of women like you. You just need to make an effort to find them and seek solace in each other.
Thanks for your encouraging world and am looking forward to that day because every cloud has a silver lining...
Have a good day
