I’ve had diabetes now for 2 years. Ashamed to say but I don’t know when I last controlled my blood sugars. I haven’t been going to my specialist appointments and I’m completely fed up with it. I know what I am doing is wrong I notice the blurred vision and exhaustion when my blood sugar is high and the weight loss but I still eat what I want drink when I want.
I have a rare type that isn’t type 1 or type 2 and just feel like no one understands it when you get the are you type 1 or type 2 I find it exhausting. I have had someone say there’s no other types or diabetes you must just be type 2, is it normal to feel so protective over that like it’s your identity! I just want a normal life where my diabetes doesn’t get in the way, I don’t think I know many people that think it’s a serious disease or that I should be changing how I am living my life! I’m not after attention but how do I get over this and take it for the serious Condition it is?
