Let me clear some things up

I myself am not “Ashamed” of being Diabetic. I
was just giving my opinion as to why I thought that
Cheryl was ashamed. I do get embarrased by it though.
One of my main problems with this disease is the fact
that it won’t go away like a sore throat, a cold or
the flu. I have a hard time accepting the fact that I
will be Diabetic for the rest of my life. I know that
I still have alot of emotional issues to contend
with.<br

    Hello Craft,….nobody is without that feeling
    from time to time. But it could have been soooo much
    worse. Even after 41 years I sometimes wonder why me and
    why do I have these horrendous complications?????
    When I got it in 1960 a friend of mine also 30 years
    old got cancer. He died soon after. Am I the lucky
    one???? Sure I am!!!! Could have been me with fatal
    cancer. I know ….we compare to those who walk around
    with no troubles at all. Such is the life!!!! Every
    situation in life leaves you with two options. Be sad and
    feel real bad, making is worse all the time resulting
    in depression. Or… you can start acting optimistic
    even if you don’t feel like it, and …as by magic you
    will actually feel better and happy you picked the
    latter.<br

    considerable trouble right now with leg ulcers and even more
    with a narrowing urethra. My bladder quit on me 11
    years ago and ever since have to relief myself by using
    catheters 4X daily. That was caused by diabetic
    neuropathy.<br
    before<br
    a bloodbath. I’m I not concerned about it???Sure
    I’m!!! But every day before that I can have a good time
    or a bad time according to my own very choice. I
    pick the good time….anytime!!!<br
    may work out all right.<br

    John, what a truly inspirational message. You are
    a role model for us all. I saved your message and
    will read it whenever I feel down. I’m not ashamed of
    having diabetes but there are times I find it hard to
    cope with emotionally. Thanks for your wonderful
    advice.
