]]> Comment on 24 hours w/ diabetes by Katherine http://www.diabetesthoughts.com/blog/2012/01/24-hours-w-diabetes/comment-page-1/#comment-13275 Katherine Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:51:03 +0000 http://www.diabetesthoughts.com/blog/?p=313#comment-13275 There is one point that this exercise (even if well executed) doesn't address. To non-diabetics, even if they go through the entire day doing the "things we do", they know at the end of the day, they can go back to normal. They know that there is a 24 hour time limit on their inconvenience. They know that this will end for them. But for us... it's for the rest of our lives. Eternity. Forever. This is a HUGE emotional and mental grievance all diabetics face that also takes an enormous toll on our bodies and on our health overall. The mental part of a chronic disease is half of the disease. The only way I can see them fixing this is through some kind of virtual reality. I wonder if a diagnosis hospital will create something like that for the family of patients for say, diabetes, cancer, aids, etc. It would be something I would love for my family to be able to understand.

I guess she completely missed the point of the exercise... that it's not about "getting the idea" of how it works but about getting how incredibly exhausting, and demanding, this disease is... how annoying, and inconvenient... and how there's NO getting off, there's no vacations, like you so well put. Thank you for sharing your experience. That’s really sad, and disappointing to hear.
