No kidding! Hubby went into denial about 18 months after he was diagnosed,
once he started feeling well again. He's been in denial for the past 8 1/2
years. Not following his diet has meant the loss of his air traffic
controller licence (he was lucky enough to find another job within the same
company) & impotence. But that still isn't enough for him to control his
blood sugars.
