Sorry to be negative but I am utterly fed up.
I'm fed up of finger pricks, blood tests and cannula changes.
I'm fed up of carb counting, guilt around eating and facing the inevitable consequences of over indulging.
Im fed up of answering 'whats that?' when people see my pump or my meter. And dreading my next doctors appointment where I will be told something I am doing isn't good enough.
I'm fed up of hypos and hypers, and not getting the balance right. Of never knowing if I'm going to have to leave a meeting or appointment because I've forgotten my hypo treatment. And the voice in the back of my head saying 'are you having a hypo'.
I'm fed up of listening to other people's problems and shamefully thinking 'thats nothing' whilst pretending to be understanding.
I understand people live with far worse conditions. I know I am lucky to only have type 1 diabetes, and be fortunate enough to have the NHS for support. But today I am fed up!
Again I apologise for the negative post, but I don't want to bring my loved ones down by moaning to them. So unfortunately it's you lot.
