Oh yes. If and when I get behind on setting up my pillbox, it can mess me up for days 🙁

Been diabetic since I was 22 months old. Learned to do my own shots when I was 6 years old. Take 4 shots a day and carb count. Trust me, I totally get the hell you're talking about!

It's a full time job no breaks
PREACH the literal 12 alarms on my phone reminding me when to take what have gotten SO old this week! So glad it's a cycle...I'll be less annoyed and exhausted with it soon.
It’s frustrating to have to always take medications to function sometimes, but at the end of the day I try to focus on being grateful that I even can function thanks to the medication. Without it I wouldn’t function in any healthy way shape or form.

Yes, it's a full time job. It's hard to remember each and every little thing. I'm bad at anything math or science related and it feels like I'm a mad scientist trying to make it all work together. I know I sound cheesy saying "don't give up"... but don't. For yourself. Do this for yourself because you deserve a wonderful life. And it's okay to be angry and tired and sad. Or nervous. Anxious. All of these feelings come with this stupid disease that is unfortunately part of our lives, but you deserve happiness and if fighting for it is part of the deal, fight for it. Don't give up. Some days I want to throw my hands up in the air and say I'm done, but I remind myself that I deserve more. I'm 30 years old and a lot of this life changing technology and medication I didn't have when I was diagnosed. When I was diagnosed, I didn't even have a 24 hour insulin... 😯! I remember having to mix my insulin together like a cocktail. Maybe you're as old or older than me, I don't know! So maybe you know! Some days I am pissed off, but I look back and I remember the growths on my fingers from having to prick them so often... I look at my tummy and still see the scar tissue from all the needles when there wasnt the 24 hr insulin or pumps... and in the end as hard as it is to admit.. I'm thankful. It's okay to be mad or tired or sad or feel whatever you are feeling it is so normal because I am too.. a lot.. but just don't give in to this disease! 💙 You deserve more
