“Why do you hate hikes?” I don’t hate hikes I just don’t like eating fistfuls of smarties.

“Why don’t you ever want to get drunk?” I do want to get drunk I don’t want to spend the whole night waking up every 30 minutes to get more sugar

“Why do you want to go home already?” I don’t want to go home I just need to spend the next 3 hours staring at my blood sugar because I ate.

Diagnosed when I was 17, I’m now 24. Can’t help but feel the best years of my life are being taken away from me. Perfect A1C and successful in life by normal metrics but I don’t feel like I get to enjoy it. Sometimes I cry when I think about if a cure ever came out. How much more of a person I could be.
