Im trying to get in shape for 2010. nothing huge. Im not fat or heavy in any sense of the word but i feel like i could be in a bit better shape. Now anybody could go online and find good ways to get into shape. but diabetes kinda complicates things… the working out isn’t the problem but the exercise and blood sugar aspect of it is a little intimidating. is there a good way to lose some flab and gain some muscle without constant lows and constant eating of foods that are not beneficial to gaining some muscle? any ideas or comments?

Hey im a 19 (almost 20) year old type 1 diabetic of 11 years and havent looked too far into getting help from others about the way i feel about diabetes. No offense to people of different age groups but ive looked in forums and seen that the teens and adults get throughly represented but not so much for people who are going to, in college, or recently graduated. Its been a ROUGH 11 years and I still get down, depressed, tired, annoyed, fed up, irritated about it. 🙁 My counselor at school said that i should start by finding people that can relate with me and just talk about it. Its not the actual diabetes that depresses me too much but the feeling of being weak and helpless, a burden to my friends and family, and never feeling like im "normal". Am i wrong/alone in feeling like this?
