Comments on: Who Were You and What Was Your World Before You Were Diagnosed? http://blog.diabetesoutside.com/?p=329 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 23:22:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.38 By: MaiaJane http://blog.diabetesoutside.com/?p=329&cpage=1#comment-168 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 18:03:32 +0000 http://blog.diabetesoutside.com/?p=329#comment-168 I was diagnosed the summer I left my family home for College. I was moving countries, leaving my family home and all of the sudden, I had this new disease. I feel like I was lucky. In the middle of all the change, I had no routines, no friends, no particular way of living. It was still summer and everything was flexible, so Diabetes worked its way in seamlessly (though not without it’s hiccups)
I didn’t work my life around it, I just recognized it was there and worked hard to make my new life and my diabetes play nice.
I introduced myself as a diabetic, it was there from the get-go.

And now, when me and my friends pig-pile on the couch for the superbowl, or to watch a movie, they double check to make sure they aren’t leaning on my pump.

It’s really been a win-win. Life and Diabetes are playing very, very nicely.
