Your feelings

I’m feeling better about my diabetes as I’m on a pump but I still hate doing the fingerpricks. The way to get diabetes out of your head is to go for a walk or listen to music.

How does diabetes affect the emotional wellbeing of a parent?

Have other kids with diabetes ever recovered from it? I hate having diabetes with all the needles and stuff. Kids tease me at school about having it. What should I do?

Now that I know that I have diabetes, I am scared to have my friends over. I don't like the injections, but is it better to have a friend there when I have to have it to give me some support and make me want to have it.

Hi I’m Alyssa and lately I have been having a lot of trouble with diabetes and my emotions. I get really angry or sad and I start taking it out on people or things! What should I do to help me control my emotions?

I have got great friends but since I got diabetes they never invite me to their birthday parties. At school we’re such great friends. Is there anyway you can give me ideas on how to get them to understand that just because I have diabetes does not mean they have to treat me differently?

Do many people get dumped by their boyfriends or girlfriends when they are first diagnosed because I was and was wondering if many people do? Thanks for this great website!!!!!
