Default I HATE Diabetes!!!!!

Anyone else out there sick and tired of checking their blood sugar a thousand times a day, watching everything you eat and constantly shifting my entire life around because of being a diabetic?

Yes it's rubbish being diabetic - but the way I look at it, you need to spend 15 minutes a day to keep yourself alive and healthy. I do 4 blood tests and 5 injections a day- and when I get dejected about this, I remember how sick I was before I was diagnosed (exhausted, losing weight, thirsty all the time) and how I Googled 'unexplained weight loss' and got a scare about cancer.
Compared to that, 15 minutes a day to test, inject and count carbs is good news! Good luck

I felt the same way when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 3 years ago... Up until that point I was very healthy. My lifestyle is very busy and I have many times forgotten to check my bg but now I am in process of getting dexcom's 4g continuous glucose monitor that will help me stay on top of my levels during my hectic schedule. It doesn't take place of your reg monitor but I think it is going to be a big plus in keeping my diabetes under control. Maybe this is something you can look at to give you a little more freedom if you don't want to get on the pump! I am very excited about this for myself and it has changed my outlook!!

I love my pump, but was stoic forgetting and not wanting to check my blood. I just set timers on my machine and it is helping to remind me to test. My testing machine is quick and not painful but I also hate being diabetic 23 years since 21. When I think of people I know who died at a young age from gang green, ketoacidosis and getting amputations, it put reality and scares the heck out if me. I've had ketoacidosis and almost died, passed out and last year at a store. I don't know when I'm low and it makes it more important to check often. Maybe join a group and get support. You can live a long life just stay on top of this. This is controllable!

I just got diagnosed two weeks ago... I am almost 18 and I have been hitting some low numbers and I can't really tell if I am low or not. It happens most when I am sleeping or just waking up. And I hate checking myself even when I am with friends I have to check like every three hours and it's not fun when Ur with friends and having to stop what your doing to check blood sugars and take shots in front of them... But I do kinda swet and my body is jittery but it doesn't do that all the time. Today was 40 and my range is between 80-150 and I didn't really feel anything and I got such a bad headache but other wise when I'm low I don't usually get headaches so how can I tell when I am low??

I hate it! It sucks so much having to remember to do all this and then in public no less! Being in ICU for 3 days n the Pediatrics for two sucked and everything about diabetes sucks!
Just needed to vent that thanks everyone!

Diabetes can be so frustrating and I hate it too! But look at it this way there are worst diseases, such as cancer that some people's lives that have a due date. As for diabetics yes, I know we have to do all that crap, but that's what keeps us alive! Don't worry sooner or later someone will find a cure
