I'm not one to complain about my diabetes to people because i don't think it's fair to put my stress on them when they don't actually have the disease. Lately I've just been depressed. I wear the omnipod and dexcom and my whole body is sore. I hate sleeping with both on me and they hurt me almost all the time. I'm tired of it all and I don't know who to talk to. I don't have a single friend who has diabetes and it gets hard sometimes. I feel like I'm alone in this. People who don't have it don't understand! My teachers think I'm faking when I ask to go to the nurse because my blood sugars low and they tell me to hurry, like it's something I can rush. I miss a lot of school because of it so my teachers think I just skip. I try to explain to them but they don't care. I just don't know what to do anymore, I'm tired of people telling me to stay strong and not let it affect me! I have a disease that affects me every day! How can they tell me how to feel when they don't know what it's like!
