I really, really hate being diabetic.
1) 20 years of 2 insulin injections a day gets tedious.
2) Medicine is expensive. I can't go a couple of days without the myriad of pills without turning into a pile of goo.
3) I watch my diet. Constantly. I prepare my own food to control both calorie, carbohydrates, and fat intake. I haven't had sugar in, I dunno, over 2 years. The last regular softdrink I had was over 4 months ago. No cakes. No candy. No potato chips. No ice cream (well, not really; I eat ice cream about once a month). No chocolate (sugar free chocolate costs nearly 10x normal chocolate, wtf). No eating out. Not that I can eat out, considering all my cash goes to various medicines.
4) I stubbed my toe two months ago on the carpet. No biggie, right? just a bruise. Except diabetics take a hellishly long time to heal. It took three weeks and multiple doctor appointments before it stopped bleeding internally. Its been two months, and my toe is about half-way from healing. For a while I was worried that I'd lose my toe, or worse, my foot.
5) Ugh. One of my classmates (who's now the doctor of a big oil company) jokingly told me that in general after 20 or so years of having diabetes, his patient's kidneys start to fail. Thanks, man, you're a peach.
(sigh)
I've been diabetic for 20 years, and this is the first time I've really complained about it, so forgive me if I sound a bit emo.
