Just sayin…
If you’re speaking as a U.S patriot, I’m with you brother.
Nah, I speaking about living with this F****** disease. At this point I’d trade for someone with cancer.
Eek, not me. Diabetes is tough to live with. Im new to this whole thing and trying to figure out how to cope. But we will get there 
Just know you can always come to this site to vent or get answers for your questions.
Do’nt you get tired of the Pity party! Have you talk to you doctor about your depression?
Diabetes or not Life is what you make it.You can’t change the fact you’re diabetic but you can change your out look on life.
Try having a Victory party they’re much more fun!
I know of two people recently that had cancer. One was lung cancer the other had tongue cancer both are now cancer free. Diabetes is 24/7 and isn’t doesn’t get any easier to live with as time goes on. In fact it gets worse cause its another day of battling. I’d take my chances with Cancer. At least if they couldn’t remove it I’d die and the suffering would stop. It’s really sad how slow moving science goes. I thought this would clearly be on its way out by now. To me the Hate is to soft of a word. Hopefully one of the pending therapy’s will give us our lives back. I’m prayin anyway
We may not can win the war, but we can enjoy the battle. Every day we just wake up, or do something normal and fun is a victory. Don’t let diabetes regulate your life, regulate the diabetes. I am still able to work full time, and have no major complications after being insulin dependent for 48 yrs. And I am the most non-compliant and brittle diabetic you could find. It has been and still is rough but I’m not quitting!
Hang in there!
every one has their issues. ours is a known… there are lots of people walking around, feeling horrible and they don’t know why. cancer is cyclical. check in on your friends in 7 years and see what has shown up. i agree (some times more than others) that this is no picnic. there are a lot of times that i just want to do what i want to do. sometimes i do and sometimes i have the character to not be selfish. people have to suffer in order to get character… this is ours…
i will agree with mr. peachy though, God helps us with the present political atmosphere (and i say that about both sides…)
I have diabetes and my daughter has Crohn’s disease. She is my hero . I’ve seen this child go through so much. I’ve held her limp body when she has been at deaths door . I’ve slept on the hospital floor next to her bed for almost a month as she fought for her life. She has never given up and never complains. she counts everyday a victory!
I know what it’s like to be diabetic and I know what sufferring my daughter goes through daily.I know the pain of a parent ,watching a child facing such a challenging disease; not know if she might lose the fight. The time I’ve spent at Childrens hospital ; I 've seen too many children who have lost the battle. I 've seen the sorrow of parents who lost their child.
You do not know what you are talking about.! You don’t know real pain ! Stop the whinning and feeling sorry for youself. You need to get so professional help.

Sometimes we need gentle talk and sympathy and sometimes we need a swift kick in the arse and to move on. Consider yourself kicked!
I understand what you are going through. It’s tough to wake up each morning and get going. I usually sit on the ede of the bed for an hour or so. One day, it was 4 hours! I just had no motivation to move. But, eventually, I did move off that bed and then the day got better. We need to look at life with that kind of slant sometimes. Sure, it’s a *itch but then, somehow, we’ve just gotta get moving and live life as we are dealt it.
I agree with Joe. You need to consult with a trained psychologist or psychiatrist. You can’t go on expressing those feelings without talking them out. It’s dangerous. Yes, you do need to get them out and talk about them, but then you need to address the reasons you are feeling that way. Depression is a big part of this disease for many people. The key is in how we handle it or don’t. You need to handle it with help. Just don’t make up your mind it won’t help. It can and it will if you only allow it.
Keep hanging on and know that there are people out here who want to help you. We feel for you because we DO understand.
Love and hugs.

I would never refuse any help from God. Thanks for imploring him on our behalf. Feel now like I need a miracle.
