Don't I get it?

Perhaps I don't get it
... or I'm in denial
... or it hasn't hit me yet (is that the same thing?)

• I know I have type 2 diabetes
• I know I've almost certainly got it for life
• I know it means real changes to my lifestyle.
• I know it could cause really serious health problems
• I know it may well shorten my life

 So where is the depression? Where is the fear? Where is the sleeplessness?

Perhaps now I've typed the bullet points above they will all come and hit me in the back of the head.

Or perhaps I'm just finding the whole subject so interesting that it's difficult to take it personally.

If anyone is reading this, I'll keep you posted.
