No need to reply guys just a rant.
I am so tired of diabetes!! Its inconvenient, annoying, antisocial, maddening and all consuming. I manage well but some days i am just fed up!!
It is a trial, eh? Only had it 7 months (T1) and already considerably bored but recognise acutely the more I make myself interested, the better my control. Still. What a pain in the backside.

I'll join your rant - especially at the antisocial part!No need to reply guys just a rant.

I can understand why that is so frustrating for you! But people say those things until they get complications and then reality bites!I'll join your rant - especially at the antisocial part!
I'm so tired of my dietary management of my medical condition being dismissed as "dieting," as if it's the latest fad.
I try not to draw attention to myself when I'm out eating with friends (no point, really). But when someone else deliberately draws attention to what I'm eating (or not), and explains it away as "dieting," I typically explain that what I eat is necessary to manage a medical condition.
When I do that, is it really necessary to chime in with, "Something's going to kill me. I may as well enjoy life!"
Especially when both offenders have relatively uncontrolled diabetes.
Stepping off my soapbox, and out of your rant. Thanks for sharing.

You did yourself proud by keeping on looking after yourself
Goodness thats frightening!!!!Thanks. For now, I'm highly motivated! In a couple of years I'll need to really work at it.
As to the others, we'll see. I'm not holding my breath The grandmother of the two offenders was bed-bound and mentally not present (or at least unable to communicate) in a nursing home for the last 5-8 years of her life due to diabetic complications. Their cousin was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure (a complication of her own diabetes), and the son of one was diagnosed at ~age 40 when he had such high BG levels he required hospitalization. . . you'd think any one of those might hit close enough to home to make an impression.
And thank goodness for this forum and the people in it otherwise I'd be on my own with it!It's easy with managing a life condition such as type 1 to feel down, I too get days like yesterday where I run high, keep correcting, cannot get below 10, then have to feed a non diabetic family a good meal which generally contains loads of carbs then sit and watch them eat chocolate, crumbs it's like torture !! Resolve some days can be harder than others, but being kinder to yourself is so important on these days and not beating yourself up.
Deep breaths, today is a new day and I start every day with the same attitude, here we go again !!
At least here we can share stuff that we wouldn't with our families
