[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1665869, member: 222691"] First of all, you need to tell friends, family and coworkers that you are diabetic, so that they know what to do if you have a hypo. Secondly, you’re in a forum here where nearly every poster is diabetic too. If I were you, I’d count my blessings. Your diabetes sounds well controlled. You’re one of the lucky few who actually have a pump! I can’t even get blood glucose strips. It sounds to me as if you partly enjoy this sick role, and making a martyr of yourself. ‘Poor me, I have diabetes, my life’s ruined’. Really, you need to get a grip and sort yourself out. You are lucky that you are very sensitive to insulin, some of us aren’t, and are at higher risk of dreadful complications than you. You seem to be looking at every last thing the wrong way. If we all did that there would be no diabetes epidemic, because we’d all have shuffled off our mortal coils. We are ALL dealing with our own issues, some better than others. Instead of moaning about this on a forum, get hold of your diabetes specialist nurses, GP, and consultant if you have one, and get something done about it. Yes u obviouslybhave anxiety issues, and need to speak to someone about those, and the way you feel about your diabetes. Sitting moaning about it on a forum to anybody who will listen will get you nowhere. Sorry if you don’t like this, but there it is, that’s what you need to do. [/QUOTE]
