It seems the better control you want over your Diabetes, the more expensive it is.

My reaction when someone tries to "educate" me about diabetes

mydiabetessecret

I am just really done with arrogant, rude people who know NOTHING about being a type 1 diabetic and how hard it really is. I was told by sisters friend that I should “stop complaining because there are people out there have cancer, at least you’re not dying” I realize that cancer is a fast acting, terrible disease and I am not denying that, but unlike cancer diabetes is a disease that kills us slowly, everyday. With every bad blood sugar or high A1C, another physical piece of us deteriorates, and the worst part is, is that we only start to notice over a long amount of time. Diabetics risk losing their limbs, eye sight, organ failure, strokes and much more. I’m tired of this disease. I’m tired of trying to compete. I’m tired of fighting for my own life everyday. I’m just tired with dealing with it. The appointments, the blood work, the site changes, the scars spread across my stomach. Diabetes makes me feel disgusted with my body, yet I can’t do anything about the site scars or I will literally die. I don’t want to explain myself and my disease anymore. I don’t want to distinguish the difference between type 1 and type 2 anymore because all people ever see me is that chubby girl who has diabetes. Im tired of explaining that having diabetes is not my fucking fault. Not by a long run. I tired of watching people living their merry lives when I am stuck in the box that is my disease.

To all non-betics:

Just because a food raises blood sugar doesn’t mean it’s unhealthy.

Just because a food does not raise blood sugar doesn’t mean that it’s healthy.

Just because a food (sorta) lowers blood sugar doesn’t make it healthy.

Foods that raise blood sugar are necessary, just as foods that don’t raise blood sugar are. The ability to affect blood sugar doesn’t make a food healthy or unhealthy…to diabetics or non-betics.

Glucose provides the human body with energy and aids in healing. That is…if you have the insulin in your body to move that glucose into your cells. Diabetics don’t. We must get ours from an exterior source.

Our diets aren’t any different than what your diets should be.

NOTE THAT SUGAR ISN’T THE ONLY THING IN THE FOOD WORLD THAT RAISES BLOOD SUGAR–DESPITE THE NAME.
