forever 1-that is cool!
yos11- when was the person diagnosed? was it at a younger or more mature age? My way of coping in the beginning (I was 18 yrs old) was that I felt that hashem was watching over me more than any other person in the world because he has to keep my blood sugars under control at every second of the day (of course i gotta do my part to keep them under control but you get the picture!). So i felt a special closeness to hashem. I also told myself that i was getting more mitzvos than any other “healthy” person beauese every time i checked my blood sugar i was getting a mitzva of vnishmartem meod l’nafshosechem. .btw i am totally not the rebetzin type of person this was just my way of dealing with the nisayon!
cofeefan- im still on injections because like i mentioned before i keep it quiet, so i dont have a cgm etc. i just dont take my meter along with me ..i check my numbers before i leave the house and take along some small candies in a purse or whatever..
