[QUOTE="RAPS_od, post: 1994116, member: 132477"] I was like you. I didn't want to be DIABETIC ALL THE TIME, as in every breath in, every breath out. I didn't test for years. I had DKA twice when I was first diagnosed, but then got the hang of it and stayed on insulin fairly regularly, but still no testing. I have some problems now, but nothing horrible (I don't think?). But I got tired of being tied to home to test my blood and I grew where I could no longer tell if my blood sugar was low, high, or right where it should be. I got a Dexcom G6 and an Apple iWatch, so I can now tell my blood sugar by looking at my wrist. I can now tell where I am, though my sugar is pretty volatile and frustrating. But I really appreciate knowing; I can change what I eat to support my condition without having to tell everyone my blood sugar is high or low. I feel like it gave me a tool - not my diabetes. It gets so old being diabetic before you're human, and with G6, I get to be human first. [/QUOTE]
