Than either of those activities. I have actually teared up from hard lifts. Needles are just a nuisance. The real downside to beetus is having to think about it constantly, IMO. (And managing it for kids, who don’t have perspective on blood/needles)
- naiyt 8y ago> The real downside to beetus is having to think about it constantly, IMO Pretty much this. Obviously needles and finger pricks are a bigger deal for some people, but most diabetics get used to it fairly quickly. The hard part is the constant mental drain of having to be your own pancreas. It's like you're constantly flying a plane where you have to manually maintain a certain altitude, because you'll crash and die if you fly too low or too high. It's exhausting.
- agumonkey 8y ago~meditation or similar mental massaging seems to be key at one point. Avoiding the damages of constant stress is important.
- GordonS 8y agoDo you mean you test your blood glucose levels, or are you really testing your insulin levels somehow? (I don't know if that's a thing?)
- bitexploder 8y agoYeah, sorry, blood glucose.
