Being diabetic is tiring. I just keep eating sweets and things that aren't good for me. My blood sugar is always freaking high and there is no one but myself to blame. I've had diabetes since I was 9 and I hate knowing that almost nobody has to prick their fingers EVERYDAY before EVERY MEAL and then stab themselves with a syringe to inject grams of insulin (and honestly sometimes I don't know what I'm doing). I'm tired of having appointments with doctors and nurses every months and blood tests every three months (with that really embarrassing "pee in the container thing"). I know that if I wasn't diabetic, I'd be fat. Very very fat. I have to do sports at least two times a week and I do (sometimes I don't) ,believe me, I do love running. I can run and not think of everything that bothers me and just let it go! And you see your body getting healthier and more muscular...It's great. Thought I've started not feeling the same after I run. I kind of lost the ability of being proud of myself when I was in 8th grade so...And I can't run and spend as much energy as before because I won't have enough energy in my classes in the afternoon (I train with the school's jogging club at lunchtime) so I run less faster. I lost weight and gain muscular mass because I have diabetes. And that's great. I try to not eat sweets and bad food but...It's hard. I never really followed my diet, and now I am because I am NOT dying at 40 years old!! It's just hard to be different, to have a disease you can't cure no matter what...
