the more the better when it comes to testing. you should do it more just to irritate them and then laugh at them for being callous and ignorant

How about when people say "Wow. You must have it real bad. You test a lot. Have you seen a doctor?".


Answer in my head: "Well no. I self diagnosed and I rather enjoy pricking my fingers and poking holes in my body 5 times a day".

When i was first diagnosed my grandma insisted that if i drank plenty of fruit juice and exercised more that i would be fine. but i think the most hurtful was recently i asked a friend which shirt she liked best off of cafe press to bring awarness to diabetes and she told me that there is no need to advertise my condition. i felt like i had just been slaped. My "condition" is my life. i think everyone should know i have nothing to be ashamed of.
