DIADETE: INTERESTING QUESTION ANSWER FOUND ON ANSWERS.YAHOO

What's a day in the life for a diabetic?

Look, I do not wish to offend anybody and I do not wish to be insensitive. Though, I have always been curious how a diabetic's life works? I have a friend who recently told me he was diabetic, he's been so since he was 5. We're both 19 and I had never known this, all I know is that all of a sudden he started losing weight for no reason, and I always wondered why. Finally he told me and I was pretty shocked. I never saw him injecting himself, never in elementary school, high school, never did I know....he always seemed so normal. This doesn't change my view of him, but I just want to know, do people with diabetes go through alot to hide it? does it emotionally/mentally affect them? Thanks, I would just like to be more aware of people living with diabetes. Thanks.


Hi

In fact it is abvious that many people talk about their diabetic life ,especially Adults ,if they are asked otherwise how do we know about them?.But many others try to hide it completly or at least they try not to mention the Insuline level,and this is for Kids and Teens.The reason i think is pain both physical and moral.Physically there is always a bit of anger to make this daily seringue shot,some people make it 6 times per day.and these people simply don't want to show this painful side of their life to others.Morally for them it is kind of being more powerful for them,to restrain from telling"everything" to others,in Health matters.I think that is the main reason they don't talk about it and just say for example " take medecine".
Of course most people won't try even to consider make the injection in front of someone even he is from the family.But the problem is found with people must make the injection durink work hours for examle.
Any way it is not an easy situation and even for taking medecine i used to go to an empty room at the college and take it.
I think we must be sporty about these things and take it at it is .
