Adrian,
I've been a type-one diabetic since 1981! Glad to hear that you have a good attitude about it. That and tight control make a world of a difference.

I monitor my sugars 4 to 7 times a day. The more you know where your blood sugars are, the better you can adjust your diet, excersise, medication...etc. After a while, all the testing/medicine becomes second nature. It's a part of my life, but for the most part, does not interfere with the normal day to day stuff...

As for slowing me down? Let's see: I've been to Africa twice on short term missions trips, Europe half a dozen times, went to college, got married, was an active snow-boarder, and currently, I like to play with my 944 on the track. I don't think it's slowed me down too much!

Hang in there man!
