For anyone with diabetes, no matter how long you have had it, if you’ve ever felt the need to rebel, to ignore it, or pretend you are able to do anything a non-diabetic person can do without consequence, then you must read this post.
Most of the time on the forum the posts are about niggles and worries, fears and frustrations and often the absurdity that enters the life of a diabetic. This post, however, brings a very powerful and heart-rending story of how Dawn went from controlling her diabetes well, to rebellion and depression, and finally to hospital from which she almost did not emerge. Thankfully, for Dawn and her family and friends, and for all of us to whom she relates her experiences, she did emerge – and as someone with a new respect for diabetes and determination that she was not going to put herself in such a dreadful position again.
I still can’t read this without tears. I haven’t been down this path myself, but I can relate to everything she says in her story. She doesn’t post in the forum very often, but this one post means so much to all our members, and we wish her nothing but good health and happiness for the future. Please read her story.
