my teachers think that when i have to go to the nurse cuz im low they think im just trying to skip class , theres only 3 teachers out of the 10 teachers i have that get it!!!! ( 2 of them i dont even see anymore so now theres only 1 teacher) :(
Today was such a really crappy diabetes day for me-I was high, then low...repeat that times 3 for both highs and lows and it just really made me mad and frustrated, because you're absolutely right, its not really visible to others just how it feels and this just made me feel a little bit more normal. THANK YOU!!
Thank you for this. My daughter suffers the hatred and discrimination of stupid teachers every day who think she's just a slacker because of her type 1 diabetes. It's invisible and I was just researching the invisibility of diabetes when I found your video...I am going to send it to these teachers along with YET ANOTHER letter trying to explain to them that she's NOT a slacker...she's REALLY VERY SICK.
Holy cow! Very well-said, really! Myself, I have tendency towards going hypo and can DEFINITELY relate -- though I can't imagine my lows being as bad in any sense.
But, more-over, my step-daughter was recently diagnosed Type-I (early 2009). But, even as a child of a Type-II parent, and as an EMT with the "training" to "better" understand the disease... it still amazes me at how much *I* missed prior to the initial diagnosis of the young-one.
I know how u feel, somtimes when I am in school and I go low, I go to the nureses office and It takes me FOREVER to come back up! It is sooo annoying because I want to be with my friends and just be normal.
oh my land, that is how most my lows are. i look normal but feel like screaming or taking a baseball bat to my diabetes supplies. yes i can see it now Diabetes supplies death by angry diabetic.
I applaud you, Kerri, for posting this. You are brave and honest and speak with candor without holding back. The world needs more videos and reality checks like this to build awareness. Thank you for doing this. It is my favorite vlog post thus far. I wanted to cry watching you look so normal yet also scared and sad and I so relate to that. I was 34 last night and seemed fine, but inside I was a total mess and felt so dizzy, numb tongue, heart beating through my chest,. No one knew. I was silent
