3 out of 10 diabetics do not accept to suffer from the disease

And you also say in another post that the treatment "is simple because it is composed of a single element."That is false because you have a minimum elements to treat diabetes, insulin and glucose, and you must keep them in a perfect and almost impossible balance to achieve.The work of a pancreas must replace oneself.

The element to treat type 1 diabetes is insulin.If you make a correct use of this, you do not need the other, it is ingested by food.That I know is an element.Another thing is that for your body to be well, you have to have a balance of two elements, but I repeat, for the treatment of the disease, with insulin you go that chutas.

Hello!I was reading old posts and this was very surprised.I had to comment.Above all that a diabetic person can say that type 1 diabetes is a simple disease.Ha ha.As the rest have already said, it is not simple to have to be thinking about blood glucose and how much insulin you have to put on.It is shit !!So clear.And of normal life nothing.And I'm not bitter or anything, I like my life and enjoy, but you have to be realistic.What better diabetes than cancer?The first thing, I don't think it should be compared.And if we compare, it depends on what kind of cancer, because if you have a cure, I stay with two years of my life with chemio and then be cured, to be telling hydrates and insulin, risk of hypoglycemia, feel bad about hyperglycemia despiteTake care and strive to not have them, and the expectation of complications in the near or distant future;All this your whole life, until you die.All this I say does not mean that you do not accept the disease.In fact, I say it because I accept it and I am realistic, and I don't like having to live like this.The truth is that I have been very angry to read that "type 1 diabetes is simple", but it has been happening to me because the conclusion I have reached is that perhaps who has not accepted the disease is mandrel88@.Since the first years after debuting are usually hard and denying reality a bit, "diabetes is not so much ..".After a few years I suppose you will change your mind.What has really offended me is to say that the boy who died came from party had some responsibility in his death.Saying that is very serious.I hope, mandril88@, although I do not know if you will read it, that you never have asymptomatic hypoglycemia.

I still don't accept it, nothing happens.Many days I wake up after being dreaming that everything that happened after the debut was nothing more than a dream.I wake up, I play the Dexcom from my back to confirm that it is real and it comes a very bad feeling that runs through my whole body.

What do I have to accept?Accept that I am a chronic patient with an incurable disease that has a torture treatment of 100 years ago?Accept that I spent overnight having an iron health and a great physical form, to have to take a transparent liquidillo everywhere without which I die horrible?Accept that I can't have the work with which I have dreamed all my life?Accept that my life expectancy has been reduced?What can I develop another autoimmune?What can I be blind, helpless, organ problems, loss of sensitivity, amputations ...?What little by little am I rot inside inevitably?

I do not accept anything or I think I ever accept it.A family says that I twist unnecessarily, but it is my way to move forward.
Because if I accept everything I have said, I prefer to load the ball with 60 units and sleep.

Type 1 diabetics have no choice but to bend our heads to this disease, this slow and incessant torture makes us submissive.24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, we are slaves of a number, a number that dominates and conditions our life.
Hopefully the day comes that some researcher ends this and we can finally raise their heads, that after 100 years, it will be time.

At the moment I have already made my decision, I do not accept anything that has happened to me, and I still fight and doing the same thing I did before.
The consequences, future complications, give me exactly the same at this point, I will not lose the best years of my life for having a longer miserable life.

How comfortable I have heard.It is that one of the first things after the diagnosis that an educator told me is "you must accept what happened to you and your new life."I better not tell you my reaction.

For many people:
Accept diabetes = set up a childish and flagized fantasy of what the disease is and then say that you accept that fantasy.

Do not accept diabetes = see the reality of this nurse as it is and say it openly, without self -censuring.

But one can take care of equally or more, knowing how horrible this disease and its treatment, the terrible thing about its sequelae and the little that has advanced medically.Or can stop taking care yet thinking that everything is Chupi-Guay and that diabetics are the luckiest in the world.

The closest thing to accepting is that you condition your life as little as possible and that you occupy the shortest time in your head .., of course that and carrying good control is not usually compatible.But you have to try ...
