It is always things I have to worry about that the normal world takes for granted. The use of some things makes my life easier to ive in this world that was normal for me until about 3 years aoo. It is not a negative, it is just life and I want to just live and be happy. I need to do these other things to stay alive and healthy for myself and my family. I need to accept that I am different but why bring the rest of the world into my concerns. They really do not care and they do not want to be affected by my inconveniences. I have accepted this and deal with it daily. I do the best I can to keep my sugars in the good range but there are days when it is not possible. I was just trying to express that the pen has given me more freedom to participate in the world <!--more--> around me when I am the one with diabetes and the rest of the world might have other problems but need not worry about some of the things that I must deal with to survive. No there is not a normal world where the average person lives because we are all special and are special and unigue in God's eye. We each must deal with daily challenges so you are right there is no normal but there are standards that make life a challenge for all of us.
