trust me you can live lonnng happy days with this disease, you should assure your mom and grandmother that too. You have a disease that you can control, and a disease that pushes you to live a healthier lifestyle, how great is that! I know this disease can be a pain in the ■■■ at times, but I have always said to myself… out of all the diseases in this world, I think being diagnosed with diabetes has made me fortunate, made me appreciate life more and what it has to offer. I know i’m way healthier than some people i know, we can out live many people by taking care of ourselves to best… you need to reassure them that and live for today and the moment… diabetes will be there sure, but its not who we are, just another bump in the road.
