I feel upset because I already have illnesses to deal with, like having Pan-Hypopituitarism and being Legally blind. I sometimes also feel grateful because I am in some senses more healthier .

Have you suffered any verbsl insults or abuse because you are a diabetic
NO I have not.

How you suffered any physical abuse or harrassment
No.

How long have you been a diabetic for
If you can answer that question for me I would be really grateful, because no one seems to know.

Do you recieve any finacial assistance
NOpe

How does it affect your day-to-day life
In a lot of ways: meal planning, scheduling more physical activity time, testing blood sugars when it isn't a convenient time, (I am an elementary school teacher. You just can't stop in the middle of a lesson to do this. 7 year olds don't have much patience.

How does it affect the lives of people around you
Sure does!

Is your budget affected
Sure is. Eating healthier costs more.

Should people feel sorry for you
No, but they should be more considerate and have more understanding.

Does it affect your job
Yup.

Would you choose not to be a diabetic
Yes. This is not a fun illness. It is a very serious one that affects all aspects of your body.

This is an interesting survey. I hope I helped in some way. What will you do with the results?
