| welcome Welcome Orange and Opal! Hope you both find the forum a friendly and informative place to be....it has TRULY been a lifesaver to me.
Orange: I understand where you're coming from. I was diagnosed 8/06, T2, so I have no pump experience, but I've experienced all the anger, resentment and frustration you're having. You should give yourself permission to feel all this. You've had a life-changing diagnosis. It's natural to "grieve" the loss of "normal." I get really aggravated when I see my co-workers chowing down on chocolate cake or donuts or yeast rolls, knowing that even one will send my BS over the top. Sometimes, It really sucks having diabetes. But, you won't always feel this way. In time, this will just be your life (want proof, just read some of the posts by the folks, who've dealt with this for years and always have such a positive attitude). It's my goal to have that same attitude..but i'm not there yet.
Anyway, hang in there....welcome aboard. |
