As much as you think you hate living with diabetes, trust me I hate more!
Hey Gary, whats with the hate? what happened?
You must have a mass amount of hate if you hate it more than me lol

I’m only at dislike with great intensity
Oh, yeah, I relate. Looking back, I’m a little surprised I got through the first two years after dx because I was so angry. I have spent many nights falling asleep pondering exactly how I’d hurt “God.” I’m losing interest in those fantasies because no matter how much I hate “God,” it makes no difference to what I have to do to manage this relentless disease and avoid nasty complications. Diabetes does not care about us. We have to care about us!
How come you put God in quotation marks? Just curious.

I don’t hate diabetes. I have come to an acceptance. I will live well with it. Many things happen to many people. Why not me? This is just my opinion.
I don’t believe “God” exists as a single entity the way I suppose most people conceive of he/she/it.
I know what you mean…it is there 24/7, 365 days a year. Never goes away. Can be demanding, and sometimes unforgiving…hey, that sounds like my husband…LOL No, really, it can be a challenge. Why does our body turn on us…
I used to feel that way too, but now that I’ve had it for more than 36 years, I’ve learned to live with it! Just have an intense dislike for it!
feels good to come here today and not feel i have to pretend to be at one with my disease. i’m not.
hope things get better gary:hug
lol…intense dislike ha???
I haven’t decided which I hate more, living with diabetes or living alone with diabetes. Both are crappy, and I can’t honestly say that I want to continue either one.
Anything in particular happen that prompted the discussion?
I think people are given a challenge, that with alot of effort, they will endure and help others.
I’ve been doing this since July, 6, 1958 at the age of 3. I plan on still staying here looking at the green side of the grass a very LONG time. The worst part of it all is my daughter was DX’d at the age of 23 in 2006. This taxed me more than what i’ve been going thru.
Look at the bright side and really watch the sun rise tomorrow.
Luv you all since we are in the same boat together!!! lol

I am into the hate thing. I understand and endorse hate of diabetes. I also hate Rheumatoid Arthritis, racism, the fact that the colts lost the super bowl this year (sorry NO fans, it is not a reflection on your team), poverty, people who run stop signs, and kids having the disease. My hate for diabetes is long established and often referred too.
I hope you understand I have made it, but like a rock in my shoe, I can live with it, but I will never ever like it.

PS: I also hate people who don’t laugh, cars that don’t run, Jet skis that blow water on me and perhaps most of all watermelon that tastes bad.
Ok I lie. You caught me! HA!
I don’t really hate it that much… but for some reason i always think “Just gotta make it a while longer, then i can take a break” then i realize “Oh, wait… there’s no break” 
i usually tell people that at least is manageable, and sometimes when they see me eating something sweet i just smile and munch away. Yeah it sucks, pity parties= high sugars lol
Type 1 for 16 yrs and counting and I hate it on days I have to check my BG or bolus the insulin. lol J/k I know just stick with the oh well might as well have the happy attud. about it since I can’t change it. so now I just laugh about anything like if I some how get a cut and it draws blood I hate to waste good blood so I check it lol
I UNDERSTAND
