[QUOTE="Faysherrard, post: 1737749, member: 378610"] The fact that I have type 2 at age 17 even though I wasn’t severely obese or insanely unhealthy has broken my heart. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m on the maximum medication and they’re asking me to inject 5 times a day and I can’t handle it anymore I’m absolutely terrified. I miss being a normal teenager being able to eat what I wanted and not worry about getting a 10+ blood sugar rating. No one understands and no one is willing to listen to me. I’m so scared because I got this horrific disease so young and my chances of complications later in life are so large. I used to be able to calm myself by thinking “oh well at least they can up my medicine” but i can no longer do that. I’m ashamed of myself for getting this disease and I’m struggling so much. I keep eating sweets, takeaways and rubbish and I know everyone reading this will think I’m an idiot for doing so but it’s so hard when you’re a teenager and you can’t relate to anyone else your age. I feel sad, sick and scared all of the time and I’m struggling to handle it now. I’m terrified of dying because of this and it just feels like my doctors aren’t understanding the difficulty I’m facing each day. Post edited by Mod [/QUOTE]
