When I was diagnosed with T1 in 1959 at the age of 9, I was immediately branded, and if the doctor had had a chance he would have put a big label on me saying "Diabetic no-hoper, leave him alone". However, 65 years later I can say that I've made my mark in life. I've had successes and failures, but I reckon I've proved my worth, and done as much as any normal human being might. I was judged by my cover, until I changed the title page.

If we can ...
 
Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.

I think I was one of the lucky ones. Imagine a 9 year old child who, suddenly lost a beloved family member, his health, his educational status, and his friends. It was also considered he may soon lose his life. That's what I had to cvercome! Yes, I certainly lost a great deal, but it taught me that there was another way forward as well.
