One Year After Diagnosis
February 25, 2011 3 Comments
One year ago today, it was confirmed that I had Type One Diabetes.
The time between then and now has passed far faster than normal, which is a pleasing silver lining. I’m sure I have learnt a lot in that time; certainly – considering the other traumatic events of 2010 – I have learnt more about myself than any other year. But at the same time, I don’t feel I have progressed enough. I don’t feel I have as much control over it as I should. I know Diabetics don’t get a total grip over their condition in a year, and considering the serious distractions that come with a loved one’s serious illness being more than an ample distraction, I still feel I should have done more. But it still feels like only a few months ago that it was confirmed. In contrast, the day of diagnosis itself was a very long one.
