10 things i hate about diabetes

Yesterdays post was to write 10 things you hate about diabetes.. but since blogger was down when I went to write my post I just went to bed instead... lol So here are my 10 things I hate about diabetes!

1. I hate the terrible state my abdomen is in. As much as I love my pump and CGMS and would never ever give either of them up, they are causing some terrible scars.. and yes I do rotate but I'm on 5'1".. there just isn't THAT much room.

2. I hate waking up wrapped in pump tubing. My tubing isn't very long but sometimes it comes unhooked from my pants and it wraps around my body.

3. I hate not having a place to put my pump in certain dresses. Dresses with pockets are AMAZING.

4. I hate the relationship I have with food. Lets just say.. Its not normal.

5. I hate the way people look at me when they find out I have diabetes. You know the look right?

6. I hate the fact that I am always thinking about something diabetes related. I freaking dream about diabetes people.

7. I hate waking up low and eating candy at 3 am and being way too tired to get up and re-brush my teeth.

8.I hate getting low right after working out. I feel like it defeats the purpose.


9. I hate the terrible cotton mouth, headache, walking through jello felling that accompanies a high blood glucose.. especially if it happens in the morning.

10. I hate the unknown. I hate not knowing what my future with diabetes looks like. Will I live to see a cure? How long will I live?
