It is hard. No one likes it. It's a beast. It is a bad beast. We all hate it. I hate it.

I think it very much depends on what your life was like just before diagnosis. I was diagnosed as a baby, so knew no different till 2013. A friend of mine was diagnosed in the middle of a university entrance exam. No wonder he resented it at the time. Like varying metabolisms, diabetes does not affect everyone in the same way. I was so brittle it inevitably led to my transplant. Others seem to click a pen and get on with a normal life, whatever is meant by that. Glad to hear it's not a trouble to you!Better? Is very good. My life is very normal i dont know why you all say is sooo bad and you hate it. I dont!
My life is normal! I dont think the diabetes life is stupid.
Maybe not but the OP is only 14 and obviously really struggling and telling them their disease isn’t as bad as another one is hugely ignorant and not at all helpful.
I’m pleased you are coping well with this lifelong and life changing condition buy they are not and obviously need sympathy and support, not their feelings dismissed.

I hate it too! That **** diabetes monster!I hate my life so much since I got diagnosed , I wish there was a cure so much I want a cure badly And this diabetes , I dont deserve it NOONE DOES! Its living hell. Its worst. I had a happy life until I got diagnosed. my parents shout at me when I cry because they think im doing it on purpose and its hard for them too. All of this **** because of stupid illness. And what do scientists do? NOTHING. There is no cure out yet , because this illness is BUSINESS THATS WHY. Scientists prefer to spread this illness everywhere than cure it. Its not worth the money for them. It doesnt make sense for them. We are just making money for them having to go through this pain. Im sorry I dont want diabetes so much.
How, exactly?it makes me stronger.
Pretty much as I mentioned: it makes me determined.How, exactly?
As far as I was aware exactly the opposite is true. So I'm really interested to see how you arrive at that conclusion.
And yeah it's still stupid.

Thanks @bulkbiker , I'm by nature quite a pessimistic type of character, no harm in me, but tend to always question the good in things (part of my job). However, I found that when I was in hospital, my personality developed somewhat to needing to be a bit more positive with a different outlook on things. Do I get a little down sometimes? Still a little bit pessimistic? Absolutely, but I seem to have even surprised myself on grabbing the bull by the horns and in 6months getting my HBA1C down to "Pre-Diabetic" range, eating a low carb diet, losing 8lbs just to feel a little comfortable and now fitter than I was before (I was a keen gym goer anyway, so improving on that is great for me).
Type 1 Diabetes has brought me closer to my parents (who I was really really close with anyway), to see them jump in and give me the support they have, it's so comforting and I am so privileged to have family like that.
I have actually no idea what that long rant was about. I guess, I know what it's like to see the bad in something all the time, but like a bad break up when you are a teenager, eventually you'll have to see that ex out and about, like you have to see Diabetes everyday, and you will have to see them with their new boyfriend/girlfriend, like Diabetes may hit you with a low when you were on a roll, but eventually, you'll just get over them, notice that life goes on and it's entirely possible be happy.
Very true, with diabetes we can control it, unfortunately cancer individuals don't have this and even though it's not very likely that SCIENTIST are going to find a cure some time soon because this really is a business to them and they make money of this because seriously let be honest if a cure for cancer or diabetes have been found all these professionals would be jobless and have no way of making money- on the other hand I do hope there are people out ther with a genuine heart that is trying hard to find a cure. Im always having my parents bpame me even though they're supportive and Im thankful for them, it can get frustrating when they think you are doing it on purpose and not getting your blood sugar levels stable(its not easy, but i try) and you have your diabetes doctors and nurses who have only studied and learnt about these things act like they have it and they know how it makes you feel and tell you off the minute you get a few highs or lows like seriously can I just get someone to comfort me geez. Getting diagnosed with type 1 at the age of 12 was a bummer for me and not gonna lie I was much happier then than now and sometimes it can get stressful and you always question yourself 'WHY MEEE?' But Im only 18 and I still have a future ahead of me, and I always thinks to myself there are others far worse off than me so I should be greatful for the technology and people we have now that are making it easier for people with diabetes as opposed to 50years ago.At least with diabetes you have a chance to control it. It is better than cancer.
