thank you for sharing that!!! incredibly brave & moving!! my stepson, 16, just got diagnosed on 8/26, Type 1, me and his dad have no idea what to do..we are just trying to get educated, be supportive & just to let him know we are there for him. Our stepson is a twin (identical) his brother has been incredible...very supportive!!
It helps me as a parent to read what you wrote because I don't have any other way of knowing those kinds of insights!
I hate when ignorant people find out you have diabetes and they immediately ask, "Why aren't you fat? Diabetics are usually fat." Or, "Can you like, not eat sugar?" Its just like, REALLY?!? I mean really, no one can survive without sugar. Well, there's my brief rant. :)
Hey sorry I took so long to reply and yes now I’m much better but I know how you feel I have been throught it and yes it can be tough but this makes us who we are ;stronger and makes us realise what we really have 
of course we all get weak at times but we come out stronger than before x
I know right! Ugh, that bugs me so much. I'm skinny so I get that a lot too :|
Aaah almost everything you said could've come from my head!
I've been diabetic for nearly 9 years and in all that time it's only been the last 2 where I've been really struggling with it. But I've been really struggling with it. It drives me insane when I can't control the highs and lows, and when I'm worried about complications that no other 20 year old has to think about. And the fact that most of my friends think my biggest problem is just giving an insulin shot a day and don't realise the ins and it's and also the emotional burden. I have a twin sister who isn't diabetic and she treats her body like ■■■■. She eats rubbish, does no sport and gets up at stupid hours of the day. And all I can think is that if I were her I'd be out every day running and having the time of my life. As it is i can't now because my sugars are so low and high I feel too sick to do sport and I can't handle all the lows that come with it. So I'm definitely with you there. It does suck, but feel free to rant anytime I think. I know I often need to :/
