Incredibly Frustrated with Lackadaisical Attitudes

I haven't blogged in almost a year! But I am so frustrated today, that I will take it out on this blog. I follow one diabetics' blog - only because she is a good writer and can be funny. I almost completely disagree with everything she writes ... but she sure can put words together well. Anyway, today she writes this blog about how she sometimes ignores her diabetes - gets burnt out - etc. Seems she goes in phases from taking good care (meaning tracking numbers, counting carbs, etc) to just winging it.

All the comments listed were in support of her - like, "yeah, I do that too!" and "keep on keeping on".

OMG!!!!!!! What the heck is wrong with these people. I could scream. I'm sorry, but this person is in a position where she can actually influence people to take care of themselves, but instead, she details how badly she takes care of herself. With A1C's 7.5% or worse, she is attempting to get it to 6% so she can have a baby. Not gonna happen!! Not with her attitude and the horrible way she takes care of herself.

I see this in most diabetics. Sure - anyone can cast their judgment on me because I am only the mother of a diabetic ... and the daughter of a diabetic. But get a grip, people. Start taking this disease seriously. Take care of yourself. There are easy ways to do so. You might have to give up your precious ice cream, but that is just a small sacrifice.
