I try and controll my diabetes as much as possible but from time to time I get extremely frustrated when my sugars run abit high and feel like no one around me quite understands the emotinal upset it causes, I've had comments such as "your a dead woman walking" and been told I need to eat more as I'm quite slim all these little things that get said thay aren't ment in a malicious way but still hurt,  people tend to say "it could be worse" and "well see your nurse then"to be honest  I feel totally fed up with being type 1 diabetic and at times in the past years it has made me feel suicidal, I pick myself up again but I'm at a point now where I'm so selfconciousus about my weight that I am avoiding going out to social events bevause I dread someone commenting on My weight I feel like it is aging me and I HATE being hypo the feeling is horrendous and I feel like my brain is going to shut down when it happens I joined this group because I dont know anyone else who is type 1 apart from my mother who is now disabled. Sadly she doesn't have the capacity to understand how I feel about it all. I'm sick of the feeling sick when I've eaten (I'm told that is it the nerve ending in my stomach) has anyone else who had had diabetes for 17 years or more felt this way? Feeling depressed and tired all the time.</p></blockquote><p></p>
