High blood sugar used to cause huge fights; I couldn't think straight & the filter was gone. Now we have a plan: I tell my partner, they offer support, & we pause big talks. It saved us so much stress.

I thought recreational drugs wouldn't affect my diabetes much, but the impact on my judgment and blood sugar was dangerous. Managing this disease is hard enough. Know the risks involved.

"The Bad, The Good & The Diabetes." It's easy to list the bad parts of diabetes, from mood swings to constant interruptions. But what if it also gives you good things? This disease taught me resilience and self-love.

My wife thought I was lazy and didn't care anymore, but it wasn't me—it was the diabetes. The constant mental fog and irritability from my unmanaged blood sugar were destroying our marriage. We were caught in a vicious cycle.

A bad low blood sugar can be a traumatic event, but it's the small, daily struggles that really wear you down. I had to learn to be kind to myself and stop the self-blame. This is how I started.

I was late again, the fog of a morning low clinging to me long after the juice box was empty. These aren't huge traumas, but the tiny daily failures add up. It's a slow burn that leads to total exhaustion.

I was going through the motions, but I couldn't shake the deep hopelessness I felt. It's a heavy burden, and learning that it's 2-3 times more common with diabetes made me realize I wasn't alone. Depression is real.

My coworker handed me a tiny box of chocolates while everyone else got a large one. "I know you can't have sugar," she said, appointing herself the "Diabetic Police." It's a frustratingly common story.
