I love that idea of focusing more on the mind/spirit, because really, that is the gate to what keeps us centered and happy! And totally, it’s important to be aware of what you’re capable of, like excessive abilities, etc. Glad to know you understand.
Yes, all too well… The funny thing is that inside, I still feel like a kid about a lot of things. Still learning a lot about myself. And that there’s something about me that’s probably permanently childish, lol! Uh-oh… 
Funny, I actually had a tudiabetes.org dream. I am new to all of this so I’m probably a bit stressed and confused but in my dream I was in a large room with a bunch of other people who were all on the site at the same time, like some sort of internet cafe. Everyone kept staring at me and telling me I was surfing the site incorrectly. I was doing it wrong. I woke up totally freaked thinking I had to update my profile! Like one of those missed homework dreams.
That is funny! Must be your subconscious telling you you have to be diligent about diabetes to get it under control (which is pretty true). But really, you’ll find us a very helpful and supportive bunch, not to mention knowledgeable (the last – speaking of the vets here, not myself as I am a newbie too).
I dreamed that I was at a Diabetes bootcamp, and I was arguing with this large, fat, blonde woman, who is patronizing me as if I were 3 years old, because I refuse to eat all the carbs they serve… and she’s treating me like I’m ignorant and I need to be disciplined and re-taught things, and will not let me leave.
Oh man… Was she like Frau Blücher (Young Frankenstein)? Lol! Glad your dream wasn’t real!
