Even though the topic of post for today is to write about your biggest achievement DESPITE having diabetes, I decided that I don't really feel like I've achieved all that much in my 18 years of life really. I am proud of my exam results and how I always manage to get my work done, despite any difficulties with managing my blood sugar levels. Apart from that, not much else springs to mind. If anything, I probably class most of my major moments of courage, determination etc. as those that have actually arisen because of my diabetes.
So, seeing as most of my posts on D-Blog week have been relatively (or really) long, I thought that I'd leave you today with a nice little quote that never fails to inspire me to keep on top of my diabetes. It reminds me that I am in control of my own well-being, not diabetes (although sometimes Big D does like to have a say in the way things are run around here.)

I read this every day now. I never realised what life was like for a diabetic because the only one I know is my great uncle, but i've never even seen him inject himself or anything. Call me stupid or whatever but I didn't reailise how hard it is, I don't think I would be able to do it but I guess it's something you have to get used to. I have met you a couple of times and I didn't even know you was diabetic! Well done, you inspire someone who isn't even diabetic x
