I have always remained on Novomix 30, injecting myself twice a day. While I coped with this condition, it has somewhat held me back from perusing my dreams. Not really because of official restrictions, but because of my confidence. I always felt that I couldn't do certain things because of my condition.
All this though changed when I started to look at life differently. I started to live life a lot more positively and made some major changes in my life. I decided to take a break from alcohol (18 months and still going) and also decided to quit my office job and pursue a dream of travelling around the world.
I have just now come back from a 9 month travelling stint and had the most incredible time. I visited USA, New Zealand, Australia and a few countries in South East Asia. Other than a few incidents, my diabetes did not prevent me from doing anything I wanted and I just lived out my dreams. It truly was the best decision I have ever made.
I'm writing this story to let everyone know, who has similar negative thoughts to what I had before I went travelling, that 'life will pay whatever price you ask of it' This is a quote from Tony Robbins, who him and many other positive people inspired me to follow my dreams and live whatever life I wanted. I went for my dreams and everyone else can too. All it requires is a change of thought, and of course, ACTION! I would be more than happy to speak to anyone else about travelling if they wished, or any other thing which is holding them back.
I wish you well and a life full of prosperity.
