Hello,
Well, I just wanted to have this post, because I have been reading the forum today, and I have come to read things like "I prefer to have cancer and heal, than to be sentenced to life imprisonment with diabetes."
In general I always see very negative people with the issue of this disease.I have been as a type 1 diabetic for 7 months, I am 26 years old and it is true that life changes, but if you know how to be positive and adapt it as well as possible to your previous life, I do not see something so bad.
Let's see, I know that I carry little as a diabetic and I surely have many "bad drinks" for living.But so far I have already experienced several hypoglycemia, some serious (below 50) even at work, or some days of glucose through the clouds, I finished my honeymoon a while ago and I was also trying for weeks trying to regulate and it cost mequite.
There are good days that the diabetes of annoying are already in charge, yes, however, I still make the life I made before, right now I have come from being 3 days at a music festival, and with control, I have been able to drink my beers and cubatas, while enjoying the concerts and I have eaten in the food stalls, and it has happened absolutely nothing.
In two weeks I go to another 4 -day festiavl and I will be sleeping only in a campsite.I will take my glucotabs, my meter and my insulins, apart from sugary provisions, and nothing will happen to me :)
And you will see in a few years, when we all enjoy continuous glucose monitors and have alerts with our smart watch, it will be much easier.
Life can continue to be wonderful with diabetes, you just have to accept what there is and try to live!
Cheer up!
