messageinabottleproject: Every Single NeedleI’ve had Type 1 Diabetes since I was 9 years old and I hate it. I hate taking needles and bloodtests. I say they’re no big deal, that they don’t hurt, but they do. Every single needle, every single time, multiple times a day, every day. I hate that no matter how careful I am with my sugars I’m still guaranteed to suffer the ill-effects of diabetes. I’m immunocompromised, my vision is and will continue to deteriorate, every pregnancy was high-risk and both of my babies were born hypoglycemic. I hate seeing specialists and having bloodwork done. I hate feeling weak, shaky and scared when my sugar is low and i hate feeling sick and exhausted when my sugar is high.I hate that I have diabetes, but I am very fortunate that injectable insulin is available to me. I might not be alive today if it wasn’t. -- source link
