What if diabetes ruins my life?
Is it line-change day?
What if I have passed on my diabetes to my beautiful daughter?
When is my next endo appointment?
What if I have a heart attack or stroke?
Should I check my BGL?
What if I have a hypo in my sleep and don’t wake up?
Did I bolus for lunch?
What if I pass out while driving and run off the road?
Am I hypo?
Again?
What if I can’t do the things I love?
Why is my BGL 29.9mmol/l?
What if I develop diabetes complications?
Where’s my freaking meter?
What if I can’t look after myself anymore?
What if my kidneys fail?
What if…?
What if it’s all okay?

I keep saying to myself, if I never wake up one day I won’t know it. As cruel as it sounds to my family and friends that’s not something I will have to deal with. So I try not to worry about it.

Thank you for reading and for your comment. I don’t think that you are cruel at all. It is simply the way you look at things and that’s absolutely fine.

Yes, Renza, it really IS possible for it all to be OK.
(Now where did I put my freaking meter?)

Thanks Scott. I thought I’d lost my meter the other day. I looked in my bag, on the kitchen bench, on my bedside table and anywhere else it could possibly be. Only to find it in my bag – where I looked first, but clearly, not properly!
