I'm glad to see that there are others I can relate to! I'm type 1 and have have been for the last 3 years. It will be 4 in August. I'm 22 and was diagnosed at 19. It was life changing. My a1c's are a little over 7 on average but I still feel like I am in denial, even though it's been almost 4 years! And im also a bit ashamed of it.I still feel like one day I will wake up and it will be gone. But I know it won't, so lately I've been trying to take a bit better control....It honestly just scares the shit out of me, especially all the health complications that may happen in the future as a result of poor control.... I'm just glad that I'm not the only one who is still in denial years after diagnosis. Thanks a lot for posting this. Made me feel a bit better :-)
