10 Things I Hate About Diabetes
In no particular order
Bruises, scars, and trying to find a place to stick my needles. Especially with a CGMS. Ugh!
The cost, and feeling like I am a cost to society on account of being more expensive to keep alive.
Being immediately accountable for things I do.
Being held accountable for things I didn't do.
It kills people.
It orphans people.
It emphasizes class differences.
Sleep deprivation.
The necessity (?) of animal testing and use in making insulin and other diabetes medications.
The things it prompts me to wonder about my future.
