I am just tired, no, exhausted. Nobody is supportive and always asks, "do you have the bad kind?" when they find out I am a diabetic. Like, is there really a "good" kind? What the heck? The daily trials and tribulations of just having to deal with diabetes, children, household, work, and everything else. I just want a vacation.......no beeping for hypos in the night, no occlusion alarms, no "mom, you're being moody and need to test.".........The only thing that makes me grateful about diabetes is the very fact I can take my service dog with me absolutely everywhere!! The monotony of 32 years of pokes and pricks is really wearing me out. God help me!!.

Give the dog a hug. And talk to your team about your feelings. X

Hi. You do seem to be very unlucky as my family and friends are very supportive. Perhaps you do need that vacation and perhaps take a stronger line with those who are negative and uncaring.
