Ive decided to post this on the forum because I am quite hurt and sad that a newish friend, whom I have known for a couple of years, accused me of always playing the victim regarding my health.
I have always felt that I am a fighter, and a survivor with my long term diabetes. I'm poly-glandular and on good days I live life to the full but I really have to watch my b/s and I often get quite tired too.
I went to stay with this friend for a few days, she is very energetic and my husband and I really helped her get over the violent? ending to her recent break up with her boyfriend. I usually just let differences between personalities ride by, however, after a night on the town and dancing on the beach (Im 52 and loved feeling so free) we were walking home to her house when I felt abit under sugared. When we got home I tested and I was 4.6, not too badly under, but my friend was very angry with me and then said that I should have helped her more regarding looking after my diabetes and then announced that I was always playing the victim.
This hurt!
I dont know whether this was a reaction because she was worried or what!
Has anyone else had stuff like this regarding their health and friendships.?
I feel abit deflated but know I mustnt let this comment get me down.
