DiabetiConfessions

Don’t you just love when you’re getting nice and cozy for bed, you check your pump, and realize you only have 1 unit left? Niiice..

Needles I can do without flinching, blood work I nearly pass out.

I’m going to make a real effort to take my medicine when I should from here on out. Things have to get better. This is me taking the first step.

When my blood sugar is high, I get depressed. When I get depressed, I see no point in making sure my blood sugar is okay. It’s a vicious cycle.

Question?

I’m looking for information on centers or counselors, etc, of behavioral health/counseling/therapy in the southern California region who specialize in diabetes/care of diabetics, especially ones who have knowledge/experience with diabulemia/insulin omission. 

Anyone know anything that may help?

Hello, I just wanted to let everyone know about “Strength in Numbers”, which is a documentary starring Elizabeth Perkins, and 4 actual normal people with Diabetes type 1 and 2, everytime it’s watched the Diabetes Hands foundation gets donations, PLEASE watch it.
