How has diabetes affected my life? That's a tough question. After living with type 1 diabetes for 42 years the question is more like how hasn't it. It hasn't always been easy but it has been my life for so long, I'm not sure what it would feel like to live without it. I have had a good, healthy life and have a wonderful husband and two healthy children who have supported me through lows and highs and everything that's involved in taking care of myself. Diabetes affects all aspects of your life, but you don't need it to control your life as long as you control your diabetes.
