I really identify with the young man who spoke about "binge healthy" followed by "binge unhealthy". It's so frustrating to, not only myself & my doctor, but my family & friends. Because one day I take really great care of myself and the next day I'm back in denial.

My fear is not doing everything right for my baby and that it will lead to future complications in his life. I wish I could make it all better. I feel so bad and lonely

Talking about our fears is important to accepting this disease. I identifed with the young woman and the blurred vision. When my sugar goes over 180 it happens and I'm terrified that I will never see again and be dependent on others. I'm also afraid that my moodiness is pushing others away, and I don't want them to feel isolated.

I felt so sorry for the mom of the 4 year old, and the 4 year old too. My fears are just 'everything' that usually go along with it. RIght now, I feel lows and I am prone to them, so right now I fear going low and not knowing it, more than anything else and it is 'early' for me. I was just diagnosed in Nov. and it was caught early. However, I still have my fears even though I am doing great right now.

Diabetes is a real scary disease no matter wheather you're young or old ,man or woman,boy or girl. It's still something that is real and that's what makes it fearful!!! Thank God we have people in this site we can go to and get some comfort from to help us through these fearful times. I think this site is the most supporting site I've ever been a part of. Thank All!!!

very real emotion here… especially for the four year old… Illness sucks, no matter what kind it is, we really need a cure for this disease… lots of great thinkers working on it, so who knows, we've come this far and have this much, we may be closer than we know…
