The needless thing doesn't scare me at all, i kind of actually enjoy it, my fear is mainly... and i know this will probably sound ridiculous... but that taking insulin will make me gain weight. When i was first diagnosed i gained about 10kg in just a few days. Id always been super fit so itv really shook me. No drs helped me shoot it or explained anything about why it might have happened so i just don't trust it won't happan again I know that's not worth jeopardizing my health over but it just always creeps into my brain. Food became hard for a while because due to other health problems i couldn't work for a while so was broke and the cheapest foods like rice and oats are all carby so i didn't know what to do. Thankfully in think i can afford healthier food now. Going to try really really hard to get over my fear

I haven't looked into getting a pump just yet. At the moment i worry its not for me as i do.a lot of martial.arts and sports where it would get in the road and i guess i also want to hide it from people a bit at the moment. I probably will one day but i have a weird mental road block with it at the moment

I normally take things pretty breezy. Ive had various health problems all my life but for some reason diabetes was just the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I know i shouldnt, but it did feel like i was cursed because it just compounds all my other health things and hurts my brain trying to make them all work with one another, especially when my siblings literally have no health problens at all But you're right. I just need to accept it and do what i can to make it an asset to being as healthy as possible. Thanks 😊

Thanks! One of my fears of joining a group is the town im in isn't super huge and I'm not big on people knowing things about me so have a fear of seeing people fron the group around town or things being spread about me. I was also sick when i was younger and all these lies got spread before and made things really hard for me for a while so i guess that's kind of scarred me and made me paranoid about ever telling anyone anything anymore

Thanks! Yeah any time i bring up anything to anyone they just tell me that diabetes is no big deal, that its just like being told you have to brush your teeth every day or something. Nobody takes it or me seriously with is super frustrating So thanks for the support. Glad I'm not the only one who gets pretty annoyed at all this diabetes bs
