My diabetes was discovered when I was hospitalized because my severe ulcerative colitis flareup would not respond to 80 mg of prednisone, plus asacol, plus cortifoam. I persevered for two years while my gastroenterologist played with meds. I was on death's doorstep when my colon perforated during a colonoscopy. I woke up to find I had an ileostomy and a blood glucose count over 30 mmol.<br was two years ago. I am doing okay now.<br decided that my ostomy and the diagnosis of diabetes saved my life. Now I have no colon, so I have no colitis. Now I am aware of my diabetes, so I take insulin and take care of my self to control the diabetes. It hasn't been easy and I am still learning diabetes <!--more--> management<br survival two years ago. Try to look at your diabetes as a job. You may not like the rituals and responsibilities but you must do them to survive and stay well. You wouldn't be "afraid" to have to work, perhaps a little resentful; but if you take pride in your job and do it well, you will come out on top. Take pride in your diligent diabetes management routine, get as much education about diabetes as you can and enjoy life. I am also Canadian. From Hamilton, Ontario. I guess we have a lot in common, eh? Good luck and post often. There is a lot of good information and advice among this club's members.<br Hi Mary,<br
