Thanks @Spathiphyllum, you've captured what I was trying to say much more effectively than I did. I meant life-changing in the sense that it has changed my life in an unexpected way, rather than prevents me from doing things I want to do. In fact, I think that like @helli I am probably more determined to keep doing the things I want to do in spite of the diagnosis - I'm sure that is true of many who use this forum.

Thanks, Johnny-- I too am determined to go on doing the things I want to do, and indeed determined to manage the beast of T1D as well as possible! And I'm doing very well with both of those. But I will also defend to the death the right of everyone with T1D to have a good cry and/or rant whenever we need to. ; )
