Linking Diabetics Coast 2 Coast
My Story
Hey everyone on here, i came across this as i was reading a article in a magazine about a girl who starved herself of insulin to make herself skinny, so i googled her name and found this.
I know what it is like to b in her shoes as i once did this for 2 years, everyone was talking to me and i was popular and boys liked the look of me, so i kept doing it and hoped it would just pass by and my body would cope with it. But i started to notice the changes in me and so did everyone else.
I started getting really greasy hair and skin, spots wud be all over the place, i was always moody and no matter what anyone would say to me i bit there heads off, i never had enough energy to do anything so i couldnt go out with family or friends or do anything for more than a few minutes.
I lied to the hospital and i also lied to all my family, i just told them i was fine.
After a few years no1 cud explain why my blood was so high as according to my books and readings id noted down everything was fine, so they made a suggestion to put me on a new way of dealing and coping with diabetes and that was a pump!
Ive had this pump since april and i have put on weight, but i feel healthy, have alot more energy im a better person and everything has changed. so when i read the magazine article i felt i had to say something and say being a little bit chubby or having a few extra punds is fine, ppl still love you!

For me weight has nothing to do with love. I love the person inside and respond kindly to acts of love or friendship. My sugar drops low quite often these days and I can control the highs with diet most of the time. When my sugar is low, I know that nobody wants to be around me. I am very stressed with low blood sugar. My high blood sugar does not impact me in the same way, likely because my sugar does not get too high.
The bottom line is take care of yourself and be mindful of your weight but don't let it put the rest of your health at risk.
