Lifestyle
Although it may be scary and not normal when first diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, it is possible and there are many people that can act as representatives of that. Many diabetics say that they have not felt healthier since they were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. There is a simple explanation for this. People with diabetes are forced to carefully examine their diet and exercise habits so their blood sugar levels do not get too high or too low. Being a diabetic requires serious commitment to stay on track of overall health. Many diabetics face emotional and psychological issues because easy tasks such as driving to work or going out for a friend's birthday are now extremely complicated and difficult. Though the life of a diabetic seems arduous, the hard work many diabetics do, such as make minor life style improvements such as walking for 30 minutes a day, result in the long run by lowering blood sugar levels and not making them so susceptible to more diabetic complications.
