Do you guys ever feel all the injecting of insulin, checking our blood sugar time to time, inserting the pump a bit to hard to handle? Sometimes I became filled with so much anger that I end up having breakdowns and I became so stressed .
Do you guys feel the same or something like this?
Definitely. It's a part of having diabetes.
In my experience the frustration kind of comes and goes. It never lasts forever.
There are good books on diabetes burnout that may help. What has helped me the most is only doing the diabetes stuff that's worth it to me. My goal isn't having an A1c at a certain level, it's avoiding highs and lows so I feel good. Look at each diabetes managment thing you are doing and consider why your are doing it and if it helps you or not.
Nice advice!!
Thank You! :D :)
I definitely feel like I can’t take being a diabetic anymore. What makes it so frustration is that there is never a time when you can just be a “normal” person. You are always reminded that you have diabetes. I really struggle with coping with this frustration too. I ask myself why I had to get this disease. Those around me just tell me that it is an easy disease to have when they really don’t.understand the complexities of having diabetes.
Diabetes definitely is frustrating, but, just know you are NORMAL. I am sorry the people around you are not supportive, it is because they DON’T UNDERSTAND or are not educated about T1D. At times I feel as though I am reminded of my diabetes every minute of every hour but then there are days when the only thing I think about are bolusing for a meal. We all have our ups and downs. Know you are not alone and that we are all here to help each other out through the good times and bad! It sometimes even feels good just writing it out in this forum!
Have you tried talking to anyone else like your doctor about how you feel? Sometimes I tell my Endo or CDE, and they try to help get me back on track, and have some great recommendations.
Hang in there! Hope you feel less frustrated soon!
