Day 5: Freaky Friday

"Just like in the movie, today we’re doing a swap. If you could switch chronic diseases, which one would you choose to deal with instead of diabetes? And while we’re considering other chronic conditions, do you think your participation in the DOC has affected how you treat friends and acquaintances with other medical conditions?"

Since I'm behind with my posts, I'm going to make this one short and sweet. Quite simply, I wouldn't take the opportunity up if offered to swap. Having a chronic disease, is well, a bit of a downer to say the least. It's an everyday hurdle and a tiresome pain in the A@#! I'm not doubting that everyone with a chronic disease, no matter what it is, also feels this. But Diabetes is my disease, and I've taken a while to really accept it and work towards being proactive with it. I don't want to go undoing and changing all that hard work now! I can see that many of my fellow diabetics feel the same, from your posts.

And yes, connecting with other diabetics is definitely a positive part of not only my diabetes management but my life in general! GO DOC!
