I think thats an excellent description of how all of us feel. Thinking about the complications of diabetes can conjure some pretty malignant feelings. Being in university too I know how you feel; no matter what, you won't be able to completely have the traditional experience. That being said though, staying healthy through collage is do-able. Deciding to exercise regularly and finding other healthy stress release mechanisms is a good start. I wont pretend like I've been a model diabetic in collage, first year I definitely drank too much (which, compared to the non diabetic, was actually quite a small amount) and binged a lot on food. I'm sorry if you've already heard all this crap, I just wanted to try and offer a solution to part of the problem.

Hang in there hun. I have been diabetic for seven years and i am ready to break down. But everyday I wake up and remember the things i love and the things that make me smile or make me laugh. Just hang tough, its not easy but remember to look forward to something.

we all hope someday there will be a cure. until then we all have each other to vent to because we all totally understand what we all go through day by day.
