CGM struggle

CGM was the best thing to happen to me in last two years and the worst thing at the same time because my boyfriend was afraid to even touch me or hug me and was depressed for the whole time, so fuck you diabetes or maybe fuck you my dear because you can´t handle me with my illness that will never go away. this was my rant thank you byebye

Hey Diabuddies!

Another friend of mine was recently diagnosed with Type 1! We were discussing our diagnosis stories the other day, and he was saying that hearing other people’s stories really help him feel grounded and remember that he is not alone. So I would love to hear yours! I’ll put some questions which you can answer, if you would like some prompts. Or you can just reblog with a quick anecdote.

1. How old were you? 2. How did you know you were unwell? 3. What was your hospital experience like? 4. How are you doing now?

I’m sure I’ve posted mine before, but I’ll reblog and add it again for my new followers if you’re interested

1. 21 (2015) 2. Well, my boyfriend grabbed me and took me to my doctor. He saw that I lost almost 15 kg and was always deathly tired. Damn, I couldn't even walk up the stairs home sometimes. But I just thought I was stressed because of school and other issues, so I didn't pay attention. Plus I was really skinny for the first time in my life and I guess I was okay with all the health problems as long as I weighed 39 kg and looked nice. Ohhh well,stupid me, right? My doctor was shocked when she saw me and when she found out my blood sugar. And me to. 3. First night I spent at ICU and still couldn't believe it was all really happening. Another 4 days I spent with diabetic roomates, one of them was always scaring me with stories about blind/footless/dead diabetics of my age. I was depressed for another two months. 4. Now I'm really fine. I've accepted it. Diabetes isn't limiting me as much as I thought it would be. From time to time I still get depressed (mostly because of all the weight I gained again). But I have great friends and caring boyfriend, and a barbeque party tomorrow so what's there more to wish for :))

Don’t you just love these days when you feel fresh and super healthy, and you check your blood sugar

and it tells you that in fact you’ve been terribly sick and dying whole day, and you start feeling like shit?

Yeah, me neither.

I'm a free elf, my thesis defence is done, I'm so relieved! And it deserved a selfie!

[chronicallyinlove]

You know, when it comes to finishing my thesis, I'm just like my pancreas: not productive.

Guys, do you know/use this type of insulin? Your experience? I’m switching from Lantus and I’m not sure what to expect.

[yellowducksareyellow]

I’m in love with it!!! Ever since I’ve started (about 8 months ago) I’ve had more consistent control over my sugars! Also there’s a prescription coupon card you can get so it’s only a $15 copay! It’s so legit! I believe it works for 36 hours instead of the usual 12-18 which is why I’m so hard core in love with it!!!

[chronicallyinlove]

Whoa, that sounds like good news to me :D Thanks! My endo told me it’s “new and try out” but apparently my country is far behind the rest of the world haha.

amirite??

i hate it when someone keeps telling me that *this particular food* has beneficial effects on diabetes

you know what else has a beneficial effect? INSULIN

[chronicallyinlove]

When I was diagnosed a year ago, I was told diabetes could bring many more health problems, like in 15 years from now.

And I truly am afraid of those problems and disabilities which may come. Or the may not come. But how do I know? How can I be sure now, after my body has betrayed me and stopped producing insulin? How can I trust?

My priorities have changed. I don’t want to continue with majoring in Biochemistry. I don’t want to spend another 5+ years studying, being poor student, not seeing my boyfriend due to lack of time, while on top of all of that struggling with my blood sugar numbers. I don’t want to waste a fucking day if I have only 15-20 years of health guaranteed.

I want an ordinary life. Boring, some may say, with no deeper scientific meaning or academic degree. I want to find a job, make money, move in with my boyfriend, have children, or dog, or chameleon, go for a vacation, be healthy and happy. Be healthy and happy as long as I can.

And I wish my family would understand that.
