With everything, it feels both a longer and shorter amount of time since the diagnosis. Some days I still cry about having injections, but it is getting better. Those days are farther away from each other.
I've made friends with three other people who have type one diabetes; I am also not as alone in this as I thought.
My blood sugars, well, they're still not that good. But it's okay. It's not the end of the world that I go up to 11 or 12mmol/l some days.
I remember when I got diagnosed it really felt like the end of the world. Like I wouldn't be able to enjoy one of my favourite things anymore. But that's not true. I ate nutella today, and had my regular serving of fries yesterday, and ate cookies on the weekend. It sounds kind of stupid.. like, why would you be celebrating eating unhealthy? But I don't really think of it that way. It just feels like I am normal (but, normal isn't really a thing) to be able to eat these things.
I am still working on my happiness, I don't think I am as happy yet as I was before. But, I think my happy emotion is different now from before. Now, there is a constant stressor on my mind; my blood sugar level, how much insulin is in my body, how much exercise I need to cancel out, etc. But I think that it's going to be okay. I'm going to be okay.
If things have gotten this much better in half a year, they'll be even better in another half.
