The word diabetes should be synonymous with stress ...
I have been with this frightening chronic disease for 8 years, of which each more stressful than the other ....., I was diagnosed at age 17 and I am currently 25, I change my life, I was always very perfectionist, I have been control almostIdeal of the disease, but in tow what?of a constant Stress life ..... a lot of money ..... and exhaustion.
I do not believe in priests because I am realistic and I am aware of the concept "capitalism", therefore from my diagnosis I became the idea that I would accompany myself for life, at first it was not difficult for me to assimilate it, but as the years go by andI have more present the limitations that the disease brings me, it has become more difficult .....
I have read hundreds of encouraging messages here and in other forums such as "Do not let you control you, be happy, take control of your life, there are worse things, etc", they are all hooves, the disease will always be there, it isTruth that does not prevent you from "enjoying" certain things about life, but those activities that you can do, never do them without "worry" in a latent way about this damn disease, since in the end it always has an impact on some way on your being...........
I know many people with this disease since I am part of the diabetic association of my country, as well as leader of the children's camp of diabetics, I have seen many children fight against this terrible pathology, and I have oriented them to achieve better control and powerLiving more "peacefully", but at the end of the day ... you are still diabetic and life is only one ........
It is more and more to enjoy the pleasures of life, even the most basic such as eating (no matter howFriends (you can never enjoy the activities they do naturally like them), or simply have sex (I do not suffer from impotence that I know is one of the most common complications in diabetic men, but I have had hypoglycemia during theActivity, making it clear that diabetes "never abandons you ...").
In summary, I am very tired of this disease, which has no pause or respite ....... sorry for my language, but I am sorry ....
