I hate Diabetes because I feel like I can never do anything without having to think about diabetes first which is not always easy if you are going for a night out with your friends and you're the only one still fussing around making sure you've done or got everything. Not to mention if you forget to bring your insulin and you're stressing out the whole night.
Another thing I hate is that people give you sympathy to start with which is great, but once they've heard about it and they feel they know about it, they don't seem to care anymore yet we still have to carry on doing the same thing day in day out and we always will have to, yet people will never understand unless they have it themselves, and you can't go round feeling sorry for yourself all the time.
I get really worried about long term complications, if my blood sugar levels are above 10 for a while I start to imagine the damage it is doing to my body, and how I'll pay for it later when sometimes I can't work out why it's high and it won't settle.
You always have to keep your mind active and alert toward your diabetes, you can't just go shopping without analysing the situation first, and without having to carry round a bag of medical equipment.
That is what I hate about diabetes, and when the doctors ask me, this is what I wish I could tell them!
Rant over... what do you find worst about diabetes? If you feel this is too negative, what do you like best about it?
