I was just reading something yesterday and they suggested not to use the word "testing" as in "testing your blodd sugar" They suggested using another word, like "checking your blood sugar". just because "testing" implies you're getting "graded" and perhaps we don't want to feel like we "failed" if the number isn't "good". (I also believe we should curb our tendencies to think of bg numbers as "good" or "bad") - anyway, it's just using a little psychology on ourselves. thanks for posting with us, you don't even know how many others out there you are helping.
Felidia, congratulations on being featured on TuDiabetes. I think your excellent post hit a real nerve with many of us. Diabetes means we have to keep trying and each time we don't succeed can make it seem like failure. Don't let the darn disease get you down. And do please keep writing.
Welcome home! Being diagnosed and living with Diabetes is one of the hardest things anyone can ever go through. However, you no longer have to do it alone. TuDiabetes is a great place to seek support, information, advice, and general friendship. Be sure to introduce yourself on the forums; tell us your story. Also, take part in a conversation or lose yourself in the tons and tons of information. If you need any help or have any questions, feel free to ask! - Matt
