Life with diabetes is mostly difficult because of people not understanding it, and people putting type 1 and type 2 in the same basket when there is a big difference. I can't give you an advice on how to be happy with it because you'll always feel like life is unfair, it's always there in the subconscious, how others don't appreciate the freedom they have while you have a ball and chain around your leg. You just need to learn how to carry that chain around without getting too tired and after some time you'll get strong enough so it feels feather light.

Being happy is a choice. I don't think anyone is happy about having diabetes. At the same time, having diabetes is no reason not to be happy in your life. As for how can you be happy with diabetes, the answer is the same whether you have it or not. It is up to you.

learning how to monitor your blood sugars is rough in the beginning but once you get use to it you can live a happy life. Life changes, eating habits all help in regulation of the blood sugar

You can, it is hard at first no matter what age you are diagnosed because you have to make so many changes but the one thing you should always remember is that it doesn't rule you, you rule it. Remember this even in the hard times and you will be happy and never quit.

Take care of yourslef. You only have one body and this is your home. Anyone witwithj diabetes can be happy and live a happy life its all in how you take things and look at life. That one injection you do in public could change someones life

It is possible to be happy, but sometimes it will be really hard to be. Nobody said diabetes is easy, but nobody ever told me how hard it can be sometimes. If you keep taking care of yourself, just seeing the perfect numbers and small shots/injections can be enough of a treat, haha! My advice on how to be happy with diabetes is to remember that you aren't diabetes, and diabetes isn't you. Yes, it is a part of you now, but it is a very interesting and different part of you.

Treat them as normal. Also look out for them if you notice them acting strange

Yes. We just have to take care in various spheres of life and to accept that treatment is necessary
