[QUOTE="Hoping4Cure, post: 1486128, member: 393050"] All I can say is hang in there. I've lived with this for 25 years now and have often pondered ending it, especially after many humiliating and dehumanizing ordeals, piled on. However, hope in a cure isn't misguided, they are getting closer and it's NOT going to be a lifelong condition for new type 1s. For one: smart insulin is coming along, where you inject once a day and it only releases when your sugar is high. Done, no testing necessary to maintain glucose homeostasis, no (or few) hypos either. That to me is nearly as good as a cure, from the point of view of what makes this disease awful. Next: regeneration through meds or fasting, stem cells, artificial pancreases, glucagon suppression, take your pick. One drug I took that INSTANTLY made my life with type 1 WAY better is GLP-1. Victoza, Trulicity, stuff like that. Those help lower sugar variance by a huge amount and make it a lot more bearable. Although the benefits do taper off after a while. Also, don't try to push the gas and breaks at the same time. Fighting the idea that sugar and carbs are your enemy is only making your life harder than it needs to be. Switch to a keto diet and cut your daily insulin needs in half and you'll have way less hypos and feel a million times better. I WISH I had someone like me telling me when I was young to do this. The only way out of this is through it, you just need to hang in for a few more years and there are many things you can do to make things better. Suicidal thoughts are like a pressure valve, they can be beneficial to give perspective and realize as bad as it is, death is worse, especially when you realize how much better life WILL be.
