Hey All,
I hope you are all well, I'd just like to initiate a conversation, which makes me feel paranoid, but feel free to chip in to say I'm stupid.
Diabetes was my fault, I got fat, I drank too many so called healthy, but full of sugar drinks, plus I had a heavy carb diet, I take full responsibility for that. I lost weight, got healthy and put it into remission three years ago and I strive to keep it in remission.
I do struggle at times, I probably drink too much (No probably, I do), I eat too much cheese, but my numbers are very good, I rarely go over 5.5 even two hours after eating. It's just I feel I am dead weight with my friends, they don't believe diabetes is an issue, oh you can eat pizza, it won't hurt every once in a while....
You can see it in the faces, the rolling of the eyes, They want to go for a high carb meal, I just ask to see the menu and I'm being difficult, let's all get a round of chips, oh you have to be different. Does anyone else feel like this? Am I wrong? I just hate it, the guilt from not being normal..
Before people say it, they are good friends, but it's just like, diabetes has been so downgraded as an illness, maybe it's me being stupid
