Did anyone else get ignored or told they were faking in the weeks following up to their diagnosis? Does anyone else feel that their diagnosis was traumatic? Does anyone else feel that their T1D has done things to their brain and mind and body -- like cognitive damage and brain fog? I feel as though I'm either being horribly dramatic or I'm seriously onto something.

      I hit 180 and my brain is shit. Ppl don’t SEE how the bloodsugar fluctuation makes you physically and mentally feel. It’s tough. I am trying to accept that people will never understand(unless diabetic themselves) and trying to be okay with it.

      I think the worst part for me was losing weight and not know why. The ppl around me made me feel awful (esp ppl at my job). I was told i wasn’t eating and that I was depressed. I needed to see a therapist, but I knew something about my body was completely off.
