low

diabetes is a rather invisible illness, but in reality, a diabetic‘s day is a rollercoaster of emotions and challenges that don’t stop when you sleep. it’s being hyper aware at all times, problems with spontaneity and bad organisation and society sees you as either someone without a disability or someone who just is too fat and therefore is ill. maybe there’s a bit more too that, but sometimes it feels like the world is against you in all ways possible. your own experience gets extra bad when your blood sugar is going crazy - hitting a low, especially when in public: blurry vision, shaking, hot flashes but getting really cold, hunger even passing out - or in the worst case: die. you feel so lost, no control and alone, like you’re going to die - a mini panic attack. it’s the worst feeling.
