I see it as me fighting diabetes. The disease, left alone to decide what I will do, would just have me die. Well, that's not happening. And I'm not going blind or losing my extremities. Then of course, there's the insulin. Does insulin control me? When I think about it, in a lot of ways it does. It can be just as bad or worse than the diabetes. But I choose to fight my diabetes, and that means making insulin my ally. Sorry for rambling off on a tangent, but this relationship is something I've been thinking about lately.
