I tried to loosen up and take this less seriously. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person who will just ignore my disease and go days without taking insulin (that only happened once when I ran out of insulin for 12 hours, and by the end I had that disgusting DKA-like taste in my mouth. No thanks, never again!). Anyways, when I decided to take things more lightly I ended up giving 8 units for evening instead of the usual 4. I only realized it after the pen was already showing 0. By emasculating I meant in a way of always having to be OCD about this... always worry and never be able to let my thoughts wander like I used to all my life. Thus stripping me from my confidence. Although I of course keep a journal and things became a routine, but still, all it takes is to try to forget that I'm sick and boom. I have to keep worrying 24/7.</p></blockquote><p></p>
