A few things I've learned/ experienced from Type 1 Diabetes...
Having too much insulin can kill me... having too little can kill me... maybe not waking up because I had a low BS that didn't wake me while I was sleeping
Having to eat sugar packets or honey packets just to stay alive
Laying on the bathroom floor wondering how im going to get up and treat this low right now
Developing excruciating pain & complications from having this for only a year
Having to watch my mom watch me suffer every day & that's nothing she can do
Having the guilt of needing my bf or mom pay for medications or medical supplies because i'm too sick to work
Never getting a break. We have to deal with this 24/7. There's no running or escaping this problem.
Dealing with ignorance or unsolicited advice. "Are you sure you can eat that?" "There's sugar in that, don't eat that"
Not being able to live alone because I could die when i'm a freaking adult
Honestly,
I could go on for days prolly. Wish people would understand the struggle more...
