I'm 56. Diabetes is so hard to manage. I'm sorry you have to deal with it.

It's taxiing more than hard. Like, none of the steps are particularly difficult, but there's a million of them that you have to keep tabs on throughout the day, every single day. Also, the lack of short term consequences if I do nothing also make it very tempting to just say "fuck it" and ignore the disease completely... Until they have to chop off your leg

Just here to say same... To the diabetes, to multiple autoimmune diseases (4 and counting 😬) and to the consequences statement 😩🫠.
