I understand what youre saying also but diabetes is a condition where if you monitor it and look after yourself those side effects can be prevented and risks minimised. Treatment is there to do exactly what you mentioned - lessen the pain and struggle.

I get that. I do.
But diabetes is an incredibly hard to control condition.
You can do /everything/ by the book and still turn up a HI blood result, - HI being a result that means your blood sugar level is so high that a home monitor cannot read it.
You can take your blood, do insulin for everything you eat and drink, compensate and correct for every unit you are over your normal range and still end up in DKA.
And you know what DKA leads to?
Death.
I've been there.
Ask @JizzmineBaconTree because I can't even talk about it.
People don't seem to understand that diabetes is a killer.
Bloods too high? DKA and death.
Bloods too low? Diabetic coma and death.
Every single day is a battle and when you're insulin dependant you know it will never go away.
Complications happen regardless of how well you look after yourself because it's a debilitating, life-long disease.

Daena? Sounds pretty unique

Yeah, Daena. I guess it is. I've never met anyone whose name is spelled the same.

ur beautiful. I wish you would post more on ur youtube

That's really lovely and I hope to one day post regularly. I'm lacking in energy and decent equipment.

When was the last time you had a dinner with your whole family?

My family is large and largely estranged, so never.

What’s the best place to go to, when you want to be alone and enjoy solitude?

For a walk somewhere usually. Stick my earphones in, take my small bag with whatever I'll need, and walk. Sometimes I look for somewhere to sit, sometimes I just walk. It depends.
