Scared at random times?

Hey Everyone,

This is my first time using tudiabetes, I'm really excited! So basically my biggest of many concerns with having type one diabetes as a teen, is do any of you get scared about your future, or prestent at times?

I know this sounds weird.. but when i watch tv, such as greys anatomy, (yes, im a huge fan, no, i don't base my life off of it! haha) There will be a scene of a teen with an illness and itll just remind me i have diabetes and so i get scared and think about all the actions im donig wrong to help my diabetes and therefore ill have moments where i decide yes im going to change today but then i realize i don't... it gets so hard at times... can any of you relate to what im saying/ feeling somehow?

Thanks!

well… i don’t get scared much because i’m very healthy. i’m on top of diabetes… and at this rate, i’ll have a completely normal future. but, i do often think of what could happen if i stopped trying.

Diabetes can be overwhelming and yes I worry a lot about my future and complications but all you can do is do your very best right now to have the healthiest future possible.xx

Im sorry to hear that, I hope everything is ok. I have Lupus on top of my diabetes as well

So far for the past 10 years I have had diabetes and 5 years of Lupus, I have been on top of my health…yet im in the same boat as you when i wonder what if i stop? But i do still get scared.

i can definately relate , especially when you are constantly reminded of it by family and other people.Now dont get me wrong showing their concern is appreciated; however i could use a day where being d isnt such a burden.

I get scared sometimes. I could be taking better care of myself but its hard when your in school full time and always on the go. Once I get a job and a normal life i hope to get back to exercising. I got diabetes from bronchitis and the flu I had them at the same time.
