Howdy All,
Just a rambling from moi:
I realised that the three A's.
Awareness
Acknowledge
Acceptance
Internally/ Externallysteadily getting around to thinking I HAVE slight background retinopathy, rather than saying I was told. Saying I was told to me, is a slight denial.
I acknowledge and accept that I HAVE it.
I HAVE diabetes, rather than I was told, as the logic is the same. Own it and accept it. Yes, it can be controlled. I accepted diabetes long ago. Now, to accept the subsequent complications that can come with it.
I still prefer term I HAVE diabetes, rather than I AM diabetic. Diabetic to me is the condition of the illness of Diabetes. I am not that. I am a human who has diabetes....
