Loading ...Sixteen plus years of diabetes has left me with interesting personality quirks. Since I’ve never known a life without this disease, I can’t really say that I’d be different or not if it wasn’t here. But the fact is that it is here and that it weighed on my development, still weighs on my life, and will always be a heavy load upon my shoulders.
Diabetes created a strong need for control in my life. I’ve always been a bit of a control freak, type A personality (that may be hereditary considering my mom and eldest brother are type A’s and my personality is all around more like theirs). But the relation between my need for control and diabetes didn’t hit me until a few years ago when I read Diabetes Burnout.
