Changes That Need to Be Made.

                    This year I am going to spend more time working on me. I am an over stressed, over worked and very independent person. I know I have issues that our caused by the stress and my work and this year is dedicated to addressing many of the issues that our causing me stress or make my life more difficult. As a single woman with no real support from my family I have a heavy burden to bear in some ways. As an adult I can handle this but I have to rethink some of the things in my life and how I handle them. I think I can be a happier diabetic if I work on myself and worry less about my family. I am always trying to go a hundred miles an hours and sometimes it is not possible for me. I also need to realize that by working on these issues I can be a better friend and have more time for wonderful things in my life. I know my family's reaction at Christmas to my low was handled very poorly and they truly have forgotten how much work it is but also how easily at times. I have decided this year to share less information about my diabetes with my family because they just don't get it because I have been away from them so long they have truly forgotten what it is like for me and even with all the devices it can be very hard to deal with lows.

                    I am blessed to of found the DOC because you have been my support system in so many ways. I no longer feel the need to even try to share my diabetic issues with my family. This blog has given my a ways to express all my feeling and fears without judgement. Thank you too everyone who has commented and take the time out of your day to read my blog. I have a lot of work to do but for the first time in quite a while it really does not seem to be quite as overwhelming but rather just some simple adjustments.

  3. I can't share my husband's Diabetes details with my family either, as they just don't get it. All that happens is we get judged so I totally understand. That's why I like the DOC too!

  4. When I lived closer to my family they seemed to be more understanding but not now. I think when someone is not longer living under the same house hold easy to forget what it is like for that person.
