Unexpected challenge

As if bringing an idea to life was hard enough I was presented with a new challenge last week. I have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I plan on taking this news in stride and will do my best to truly make the best of this disease. I plan on getting in great shape, eating well and living my life has I have been with the exception of daily finger pricks and a shot everynight. Nontheless, any new development like this causes you to reevaluate your life, what you are doing with it and pretty much everything else. In my case, I have an even stronger desire to see my idea through and make the biggest impact that I can. Upward and onward, no holds barred.... let's all continue this trip more vigorously than before!

You mean Type 2, don't you? Sorry to hear it either way. I can sympathize.

Nope... I am type 1... my body no longer makes insulin. I have to give myself a shot every night and breathe in insulin before each meal. Again, I am not concerned.. I am going to turn this into a positive in every way I can. Thanks for the note!
