| I guess I have had diabetes so long that my care and thought process is just part of me and what I have to do. If you chose to eat and not exercise and ignore diabetes, the chances are you will pay for your decision later.
I also went through a few years of whining and complaining. At the time of my diagnosis, there were no pumps available to the general public. NPH and R were the newest latest and greatest insulins and there was no such thing as carb counting. Once I got a regime that made sense (that did not include eating the same foods daily and timing peaking insulin), the whining stopped and I got a plan. Ok...I still whine sometimes. But it isn't a way of life anymore.
Nobody cares as much as you do about your health. Your doctor can give you a plan, your family can give you encouragement and DF can give you ideas. But you are the only one that can make you do what you need to do to stay healthy. At the end of the day, everyone goes home and you live with your choices. |
