I was diagnosed at age 1 and omg this disease ruins my life! Every little thing triggers my blood sugars. I’m so tired of injecting insulin 3-5 times a day. I’m tired of having to check blood sugar and take injection before every meal including snacks. I’m tired of appointments. I’m tired of eating one biscuit and my blood sugar rises from 6 to 15! I’m so tired of having to take metformin alongside injections. I’m so tired of everything. Please don’t tell me to grow up or stuff like that. I really am struggling so much. I’m tired of hypos! I’m scared of working, because my blood sugar go low, I’m angry that when I exercise my blood sugar goes high. I’m tired of it all. But it’s not gonna be cured any time soon. Sorry it’s just a big fat rant

You are supremely entitled to rant. I think in the current gloom this is even more justifiable. Try to focus on an improved future - I was 21 before I turned that corner. Good luck!
 
I am sorry you are struggling. I can’t imagine how difficult it has been for you. I hope your hypo is improving & you can find balance
 
I've definitely been through stages where I hated diabetes as well, I've also had it since I was very young, its always been there, so there has been a number of occasions like that.

One of the worse things is that you never ever ever get a break, not even a small one, then you have hypos, hypers, rollercoaster blood sugars, feel like rubbish, feel like everything is out to get you and all you want is the whole lot to just go away (in much less polite language than is allowed here) - especially when you know everyone else doesn't have to deal with it all.

I'm afraid I can't tell you how I dealt with it last time because I can't remember, but you can get through it. but yes sometimes you do just need to rant and swear.

People say “just as long as you cover ur food with insulin then then everything’s normal”
It’s not easy like that at all. Maybe for some Diabetic people but for some us, are blood sugars are constantly horrible.

That ambulance hasn't arrived yet? It's been an hour between your last post and the one on this thread but you're still here

They did and left. They checked my blood sugar and it was the same as my sensor. And it has gone up to 5.7 but it’s 5.2 now, I will call the ambulance again if it goes under 4.5
