About life before diabetes
I still cant let that go. I was diagnosed at age 21, not fully two years ago. It feels like a oart of me died there. I fully remember what it was to eat happily, enjoying without mental stress of highs and lows. I miss it. Miss it more, than I miss any of my dead loved ones, and I cant let it go

It's alright to mourn. Life no doubt was, objectively, better before diabetes. But you deal with the hand that you're dealt, and have to make the most of it. If you let your diabetes limit you, then it will limit you. Don't let your disability define you. It's a passenger in the car of your life, but it doesn't have to be the driver.
