Sugar Woes By Seth Benjamin

I eat every meal like the air I breathe, guzzling every grain down as if my life depends on it. I eat every morsel as if it were my last meal and yet I'm so tired of eating.
The taste of the finest cuisine means nothing more than petrol to a car, as it's only energy for my batteries that are so very worn out. 
Eating feels more like chore than pleasantry because as soon as I am finished I'm going to feel ill or I'm going to feel more pain.
I'm so sick of feeling ill. I'm sick of getting up in the middle of the night fearing for my life, as my body craves sugar. I'm sick of the constant injections that could just as easily take my life as it does save it.
I'm so sick of people staring at me in disgust as I try to save my life with another needle. 
Then there are the people with the audacity to tell me to just eat right and exercise, but do they even understand the difference between Type 1 and Type 2?
They don't even understand that the reason I don't care anymore is because there is very little I can do. Why should I try and prolong this life when it is very much a hell in its own right. If I'm going to live though this hell then you better understand that at the very least I’m going to try and enjoy it as much as I can.
Every day I feel horrid, as I feel myself constantly going from high to low while my body lets out its cry for help, as I hear my own heart beat in agony. 
I only want to be able to enjoy a dessert again, but I know each bite of cake could be my last.
Diabetes is no joke to those that have it.
