Why me?
I have had diabetes for 12 years now and don't really know anybody else who has it. I also have coeliac disease and hypothyroidism.
I have struggled with my diabetes in the past and I have been in hospital lots of times. A few years ago I had a bad hypo and went unconscious and got sent to hospital. I was in a coma for a few days. Eventually I came around and got on with my life as if nothing had happened.
I have been put on the insulin pump and I would recommend it strongly. It has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I tend to give up on life at times and want to end it but then I think about my family and that stops me doing anything stupid.
I always ask "Why me?" and "Why do I have to get everything wrong with me?". I would love to meet people with diabetes that are my age to see how they cope. :)
