Lately i have been feeling super alone and miss under stood with the whole diabetes thing. I have have had diabetes for almost 15 years now and never really felt alone until now. I dont know what to do or who to talk to about it when ever i get excited that im doing good or bad with it I feel like i get shut down because my friends dont understand what it is like to have diabetes and cant relate.
