I can’t agree more with this vlog by six until me! Diabetes is an invisible disease. People have NO idea how rotten diabetics feel when their sugar drops to low, or goes to high.
It is so hard for me to work, drive, think, eat, function at all while having a low blood sugar. And it is painful to have a high blood sugar. My feet ache and feel swollen and hot, and my body aches like it would before you get the flu. Just because you can’t SEE the pain, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. And in this case, it isn’t only pain, but inability to function at times!
We DO need a cure, badly! Not to mention all the complications bad blood sugars cause in the future……nerve damage causing eye problems, heart problems, numbness, even amputations for some….the list goes on!
Even though you can’t see our pain, it is there.
Here is the vlog by six until me and I know that SO many type 1 diabetics can relate! *this is linked with sixuntilme’s permission*

It was such a fantastic video, wasn’t it? I think we’ve all “been there, done that”. But it’s nice to show other people what we are feeling.
