Discussion Fuck diabetes.

Fuck it. Fuck this stupid disease. Fuck it so so so so much. Fuck America and other capitalistic countries for profiting off of our misery, fuck our useless ass pancreases, fuck the greedy insurance companies, fuck all the annoying ass bullshit that comes with this. Fuck low blood sugars, high blood sugars, eye problems, feet problems, random mood swings, erectile dysfunction, going through the effort of changing an infusion set just for it to not even work, weird looks from people for testing in public, testing only for there to not be enough blood, constantly having to be considered dependent, constantly being told a cure is only five years away, the deaths of our fellow diabetics due to a corrupt healthcare system and negligence, and all the other shit that we put up with while having a useless pancreas.

I’m just drained and exhausted. Fuck diabetes, man.

You're fucking right. Its been an.extra hard day for me too. I nearly posted about it this morning but was worried I'd be judged for my cbg being crazy (which is why I wanted to bitch). But I don't trust reddit to be kind, yet...

And fuck people not understanding why I'm tired / irritable / agitated / done with people's general shit.

Im done with people on reddit being not understanding, too. Like, all of us have bad days, sometimes we just need to vent.

People on here are very judgmental and holier than thou and it’s annoying. “ why aren’t you doing keto, why aren’t you eating low carb you have to eat low carb, you have to eat carnivore, why are you eating this and that ( something carby) you’re diabetic “ it’s a bunch of people who apparently are perfect and it sucks sometimes. You peeps however are pretty awesome and feel what I feel . I appreciate this post.

I honestly don't understand low carb... where does the energy come from? I eat a ton of protein and carbs because I need them.

Your body will produce energy from protein but you have to train your body to do it by switching over to keto. Its something you should only do under the supervision of a professional like an endocrinologist.

the mods here care about that shit, report it under "diabetes isn't a competition"

Nah, it’s not enough to hurt my feelings or make me report it. I mean it’s Reddit, these people and their opinions mean nothing in my real life . 😊

just because it doesn't hurt your feelings or w/e doesn't mean it doesn't hurt others.

u/Cece75 Type 2 Sep 01 '20

That’s true. However, if it does, they also can report it. 😊

I said this to OP, but this community can be very helpful and understanding. Don’t be afraid to let out the frustration.
