Diabetes Blog Week – Day 5

What is one thing you would tell someone that doesn’t have diabetes about living with diabetes?

Plain and simple, diabetes sucks. Insulin is not a cure and even with the technology, sensors, pumps and different medications, it’s still very difficult to manage.  Also, I would explain that it’s a 24/7/365 disease that never goes away, never quits and is always there.  These things are hard to fully grasp unless you have lived with diabetes or have a loved one that lives it every day.  Sometimes you just want a break, but it never lets you.
