Such an inspiring post. One of my best friends has diabeties and she's one of the most active people I know. At first when she used to ask me for something with sugar I used to get really worried but half the time I forget she has it. not because i'm being ignorant but because it's part of our everyday life!

I've said it before, and I'll say it are amazing. You should probably come speak to some people at my place of work, ignorance all round!

What a wonderful post. My dad has diabetes and I know how hard it can be to manage so I've got all the more respect for you for working through it at such a difficult age.

Such an inspirational post Maria. I can imagine just how tough it has been through the years. A good friend of mine has diabetes too and has been in and out of hospital countless times and sometimes, it's been quite scary. Great post Maria.

Have I mentioned lately, I absolutely LOVE you.

What an amazing post to have written to highlight that although diabetes is a frighteningly commonplace disease, that doesn't make it any easier for those who suffer from it, particularly those of a young age.

I think it's particularly admirable of you to share your experiences- the good and the bad with people, as it's obviously been a tough journey.

What I love most about this, is that you haven't let it stop you doign all sorts of things, which is the true inspiration. And even as someone who doesn't *actually* know you, I'd want to be friends with someone who is brave, who faces up to responsibilities that come with life and with not always being 100% and who learns from what she does and chooses to share that with others. That's pretty much my kind of person and some of the qulaities I aspire to myself.
