I was where you are now. I am now 43 years old and have great control. It took me a long time to realize that I was in charge of how well or how poorly I treated myself. There is a great sense of satisfaction in knowing that I have the ability, the knowledge, the resources and the team that make my diabetes only a part of my life, not my whole life. When I am in great control of my body, I have the energy and time to devote to all the fun things in life that make it worth the effort. You can do it too.
