10 Things I hate about Diabetes
May 12, 2011
- I hate having to test. Worst yet, I hate it when someone asks me “doesn’t that hurt”. My answer is always, yes, I just poked a hole in my finger so I would bleed.
- I hate having to stop what I am doing to test.
- I hate needles. Have since I had to have plastic surgery twice after a car accident. I can’t look even when I’m doing the needle. I’ve had a couple of insertion devices that you have to see the needle to the insertion – major fail. Haven’t been able to even finish the box.
- I hate going low. Hate that more than anything, so I tend to run high lately.
- Hate blurred version. Since I am running high, my vision stays blurred, but not at the exact same rate.
- I hate the diabetes police. I avoid eating in public at all costs because of them.
- I hate dealing with medical personnel who don’t understand diabetes.
- I hate sugar cravings.
- I hate having to carry all the emergency equipment around, and restocking it.
- Oh, heck, I just hate diabetes.
