When I’m having a good day as a type 1 diabetic and then I remember that I’m gonna have to live with this condition forever

[hypnikb]

With type 1 diabetes, it’s always, “you can’t eat that ice cream, sweets are bad for your blood sugar” and never “you should take the day off work, stress is worse for your blood sugar than eating pure sugar” and I think we need to normalize that second part more.

I fucking hate being diabetic. Hate having to always be conscious of having to keep myself alive and going, make sure weight is managed, make sure ik how many carbs are in food, make sure to bolus right so bg won't get fucked up thought it will anyways, make sure bg isn't too high or too low. Fucking hate being up so damn early having to stick myself with shit and count out mls of insulin to refill shit to make sure i dont die in the middle of the night, cuz god forbid my body have just been able to function correctly.

Or worrying if my insurance is just one day gonna decide they don't wanna provide my insulin and then i need to worry if i can ration until we fight them to get it approved. Ntm if there were to be a power outage on a bad enough level where things wont come back, just oh well, time for a slow painful death ig.

And always having to be so conscious of keeping myself alive and constantly feeling like shit is so unbelievably exhausting ntm knowing i have to do this for the rest of my life without fail. My doctor says my numbers are great and im doing great but it's hard to care or feel happy abt it when all i feel abt it is contempt and resentment. not even just towards my condition but to myself for having to deal with it.

And it's fucking ok that I feel like that. It's ok to hate the hand you've been delt, to hate that deal with and live with shit that you never asked for for the rest of your life.
