I've just been recently diagnosed and my endo's are pushing me to only test 4 times max a day. I test about 10 or 12 and 7 at the least. I thought I was a bad diabetic because I can't "feel" when I am high or low and am bad at guessing. So I usually check. I just want to say that knowing that someone who has had T1 for 35 years and tests as much as I do makes me feel like I am just being a normal T1 diabetic. I don't want to guess (because I am most of the time wrong) about my BS and I like the fact that I am feeling good most of the time. Endo's be damned!

I'm on t e same page, taking hope where I can get it and stating in the here and now. Just want to be told the truth and allowed to judge things as they are, not treated like a guinea pig in clinical trials on how to squeeze more money from people.Mike Hoskinshttp://www.diabetesmine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-35133097951177734022013-03-05T15:44:29.667-05:002013-03-05T15:44:29.667-05:00I didn't expect a cure for quite some time aft...I didn't expect a cure for quite some time after my diagnosis because when said diagnostic came, the doctor was blunt and tough and just straight up told me I had to get shots and deal with it (it was awful).<br />I barely remember anything else, as of course, I was crying my heart out but the one thing I can thank him for was never giving me that hope. <br />Then when I found the DOC I started getting more updates on a constant base and figured that maybe after all, we could have a cure close enough.<br />I have lived with the D for 7 years and in the last 3 or 4 years I've attended TEDxs other events fully dedicated to diabetes research; they all say that the cure is almost at the tip of our fingers. <br />After a major broken heart on the 3rd or 4th event, I stopped "caring" about the cure. <br />Every time I heard "the cure is so so so close" I just walked away. Then this DRI came in and it just teared me apart.<br />The fact that I found about it through the DOC gave it so much reliability in my head, as I thought that well, if they truly believe this then it must really be IT!!! <br />Cut to this morning when I finally had the time to log on facebook, google the news and see all that had been said and well, it wasn't what I expected even though I'm not sure what I expected.<br />It sucks because the research IS AMAZING, I mean like woah nelly! they are doing really neat stuff...but they hype it was preceded with was so much it nearly killed the fact its awesome.<br /><br />I hadn't really given it much thought in the 7 years I've had with diabetes but I just realized how much I want a cure and how much I loathe having diabetes and today I just really want to go home and cry about this realization.<br />I have so many feelings mixed in, I feel like I was thrown into a washing machine and then fastly thrown out while the thing was still in motion. My head and heart hurt and it sucks...Nictéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14396419522529894482noreply@blogger.com
