- Hopefully one day you will be able to open up more about it. I've gained a couple pounds. Nothing major. I think that is just because I've been eating too much and not exercising as much as I should lol. Sometimes I say to myself, I wish I could go on the pump. But right now I am without insurance, and like you said, I'm not sure how I would like something attached to me all the time. Shots seem to be working good, so why change it? I guess I just hate change lol. Yes, lows are very terrifying. Especially lately, they've been hitting me suddenly. I used to be able to feel the symptoms when they first start to come on. But now I don't feel anything usually until its too late and im shaking like a leaf and feel like im going to die. Ok.. maybe I exaggerated about the dying part. lol But it is real scary. Is it just me or does this really happen? I was high earlier and now I'm back down to 90. But I still feel high. Im feeling real thirsty. Am I crazy? lol the only thing I get real nervous about is driving. My friends kinda look at me like I'm crazy because though I tell them they dont really understand. They think because I feel fine at that moment, that ill still feel fine in 10 mins. But with lows, its as bad as driving drunk. So I tend to test a lot while I'm driving. Any sign that I'm feeling funny, I will pull over to test.

- Yea you should. I think it would help a lot. Yea, other people don't understand even as much as they want to. They just don't understand everything that we think, feel, or have to do.
I am on Humalog and I take 30 units of Lantus at night. What about you?
I wish that you didn't feel like you have to hide it. Of course, not all people understand. But there are many that are very accepting of it. And those that aren't shouldn't be in your life anyways.
There are people that are ignorant and insensitive, but all you can do is educate them. I've had people think I did this to myself and call me fatty. The person that called me fatty was only joking, but it still hurt. Thats when I made him feel like a jerk and told him how wrong he was lol.
My boyfriend even said something hurtful to me. I think he didn't think it would get to me, but it did. I ended getting angry, and then crying. Once I was calm, I talked to him about it. I think it made him open his eyes, and now I find him helping me more.
I figure the more open I am about my diabetes, the more opportunities to bring awareness to others. And a chance to tell them the facts.
I don't know about you, but diabetes is a big part of me now. So why hide it? =]
I eat almost anything I did before, but I have to be careful with portions which is hard for me lol. I love food! Sometimes a little too much and I pay the price later lol. How about you? Do you diet? What about exercising? I've been slacking been time since being diagnosed, but I've found this really nice park and started walking now.

- Well dont let me fool you, I have my days where I am falling apart lol. I'm crying and yelling because my bgs are all out of wack and nothing is going right. But whenever I have one of those days, I come here. This is the place I always run. And it makes me feel 10 times better. It's like my medicine lol
