Hi
I was diagnosed in 2001 - two days before a holiday in the Bahamas.
Its a shock.
You will get used to the idea and if you do you will take your tablets , have your revue and blood samples done and then - guess what?
Get on with your life. Enjoy it.
My brothers comment - you can still enjoy a chocolate bar, beer and whiskey.
You can still drive your Porsche.
Dont look inward.
