Diabetes....unseen and unknown

After being Diabetic for over 44 years, it is always amazing to me how it seems to affect others when they find out you have a chronic unseen disease. D is just something I live with and figure it's just a hurdle I get to jump 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
I often hear, ",wow I guess you can't have any sugar can you?" Or the other "You just get to eat a candy bar to fix it don't you". The other favorite is "Gosh, you don't look diabetic, you look so healthy."Ummmm....Ok...thanks, I think.
Diabetes is usually only seen when something goes wrong....high blood sugar-- going to the hospital, or low blood sugar....passing out, then going to the hospital. Or if you are testing your bloodsugar when seen, or taking insulin when seen.
Those are just some of the visible signs that the public sees....but the battle rages on inside.
Diabetes, an unseen disease, chronic, and potentially debilitating.
I figure, I just keep going and doing the right things to maximize my outcome....any other option seems like a waste of time and life.
Keep going.......Peace, Bob
