It was disappointing and very upsetting. I probably should not have let it get to me as much as it did but it's hard when you are sitting there not to feel he is ripping you to shreads.

Ugh, I know it was tough to sit there and defend myself.
I worked really hard to get this endo and up until this he was great. Maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt or maybe a knuckle sandwich.
It is an invisible disease no doubt. People say the silliest things.
I know that type 2 diabetes is the bigger fire in the world and since the ADA is the bigger organization and with the bigger epidemic to focus on then the JDRF fits my needs a little better. that is all. I am not a hater of the ADA at all, I just think that being a type 1 (like 10% of all diabetics) we should stick to the group that mostly focuses on type 1.
That is one of the best comments I have ever seen!!!! LOL
I am not a big fan of "Well it could be worse" because no matter how many times I say it to myself, it never makes me feel any better.
I am a fan of, "well maybe I have all this stuff because someone somewhere knew I can handle it." Maybe I get the stuff so my kids won't?"
Thoughts like that help me occasionally but sometimes, nothing does.
My best advice is to connect with other people with diabetes who know what you are going through. Who have been there. You know what you should do, the problem is the desire to do it. I am the same way.
The thing is many of us have lived many years with diabetes and have been where you are now. And will be there again someday I am sure. The key is to not stay there for long.
That is the thing, as long as we try and try again we are okay I think. I cannot imagine a life without those moments.
Nicole Purcell lists having type 1 diabetes last when she's asked to provide information about herself - because that's where it belongs.
Michelle Kowalski, a writer, editor and photography hobbiest living in Phoenix, was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in February 2005. In January 2008, as part of her quest to start on an insulin pump, Michelle learned that she actually has type 1 diabetes.

I hate this too. I am so sorry. Lows at night are the worst. Take care my friend.
