[QUOTE="Sheppie84, post: 360241, member: 58835"] Ok so I'm not 17 and I don't have friends/family that are really aware if what diabetes is but I feel exactly the same as you. I hate diabetes, I wanted to book a holiday for me, my husband and my daughter but I just don't know how to manage my diabetes in that situation. Family meals are a drama too. I hate that I can't just do things and that everything needs to be planned and I have to be strict with my diet, my weight, my exercise, etc. I have recently been advised to go a gluten free too. Sometimes I just take a weekend off diabetes and GF diet - stop testing, eat what I want, etc. but I end up paying for it by feeling awful for days afterwards! I do agree with previous posters though, maybe we need to learn more and take control of the diabetes instead of it controlling us. Right now taking control of diabetes seems harder and scarier than just trying to ignore it. I don't think these feelings are unusual in newly diagnosed people; I think it's a huge thing to deal with and you (and I) will deal with it. I know I need to just face this head on, right now I'm just looking for the courage I need to tackle diabetes and show it who's boss.
