I always thought of diabetes as a thing you either Have or Don't but I looked into it a bit and man I was like extremely close to being diabetic before medication and literally follow the same treatment as type 2 diabetics (metformin and blood sugar monitoring). Hell if I had another blood test before starting the meds I may have been considered diabetic medically. Anyway I had the worst blood sugar crash of my Fucking Life tonight and had do the test it, drink orange juice, test again to be able to go to bed safely and it all just sucks. I don't want to deal with this happening for the rest of my life.

#It was 61 mg/dl which isn't like You're Gonna Die but is low for diabetics and almost too low for non diabetics #Didn't get any sleep last night so I was ignoring the symptoms chalking it up to that #But I had blurry vision was super pale and got extremely nauseous then threw up (Badly.)#I basically thought it was getting better walked to my bedroom from the bathroom and immediately threw up on all my stuff -_-#On the plus side this is like emetophobia exposure therapy. Sometimes something is so gross the panic doesn't even set in #It's just well. The worst possible scenario (vomit on my personal belongings and person and clothes) happened. Let's deal with it #Meanwhile if someone says their stomach hurts I start having an anxiety attack #Well anyway. Guys I don't want to deal with my body trying to kill me every 2 weeks forever.#It'd almost make me feel better if I could just say I'm diabetic because atp there's not a big difference between my life and a type 2 #It's just that mine is theoretically reversible (and it's getting better with meds!! just slowly.)#but genuinely if i have to take diabetes meds forever to not be diabetic am i not just diabetic but well-controlled?? i have to ask my endo #I'm also feeling less leery about considering myself maybe disabled from all this cause like #it's manageable when it only happens at night but if this happened in public it'd be a nightmare #I would crash a fucking car if this happened while driving #Ugh. I wish glucose monitors were cheaper and I could just use one of those. Very hard to test your own blood when you're Fucking Dying
