| not so good. On May 18 i will have had Diabetes for 5 years....5 years of constantly high blood sugar, medical problems, many trips to the hospital, and many many rough days. Im only 18 years old and i know that if i don't start taking care of it now i am going to have major regrets later, but for some reason i just can't get my head around the idea of having diabetes. Sure i can say that im a diabetic but it doesn't sink in. When i think about my future i don't picture the diabetes. It seems like it would be easy.....check, take insulin. But there is something that i just can't seem to grasp. It seems like a like to pretend its not there, which isn't working for me. Does anyone else know what im talking about or have any advice on how to get thru this. It would be nice to hear stories from other people on how they live their lives with this disease without letting it take over.
