Love and Diabetes

Love does not count diabetes and diabetes is not an obstacle to love.

It is up to you and your partner whether your relationship will thrive or become a memory. Diabetes is not the "third person" in your relationship, it should not be the "thorn" that bleeds your life together.

You are getting ready for the date you have been waiting for so long and you are eager to live your dream. With the man or woman you expect to be the next love of your life. You are already picturing your moments, but a thought clouds your gaze. Should I tell him/her?  that I have diabetes? Should I hide it because it only concerns me? Should I tell everything? But what if he leaves like this and doesn't want to go out again?

 Don't let these negative thoughts ruin it.  the happiness you feel, it is unfair to yourself to suffer and not let him indulge in happiness.

There are ways to deal with the "clouds" and free yourself from the negativity of your emotions.

Diabetes is not your whole life, it is a daily part of your routine. It does not define your personality.  You are the same unique personality you were before you got sick, with your strengths and weaknesses, but you certainly have more power and responsibility towards yourself. It depends on how YOU handle your health problem, such as  It applies to all the difficulties you will face.  in your life. So how do you deal with your diabetes? With shame, with guilt with depression and giving up on the joys of life? Or on the contrary, as a part of yourself that you do not underestimate, but on the contrary motivates you to take care of yourself and love yourself even more?

There's a difference between saying with confidence  and smile "Yes, I have diabetes but "Life goes on with diabetes with optimism and dreams" from being say  “I have diabetes and my whole life has been ruined.” You reflect with your personality the manner and respect that others should have towards you.

 Should you tell? Yes! Why hide it, why be ashamed of your diabetes? When your partner is informed about the symptoms of hyperglycemia  or hypoglycemia, he will be able to intervene in a timely manner and help you, while on the contrary, ignorance will scare him and he will not be able to offer you first aid if and when you need it.

So it's up to you what and  how will you say it? If you give it a scary dimension or if on the contrary you present your diabetes without shame, without excesses and without misery.

Maybe your partner doesn't know what diabetes is. He doesn't It is necessary to mention everything from the first date, as too much information will stress your partner out. Give the relationship time to develop, give yourself space to feel safe and start to unfold more and more. You can solve any problems he may have. questions  and talk to the point where you feel like doing it. There are no rules,  Listen to your heart and open yourself to where you desire.

Your partner can gradually become part of your diabetes management routine, your guardian angel in difficult times, or even accompany you to regular medical appointments. your exams. Don't exclude him from this part of your daily life that will bring you even closer. And when you get tired, he will be there by your side, to discuss your insecurities with you, to support you and encourage you when you feel your strength is abandoning you. You are together, you are united in difficult times and sharing thoughts, feelings and moments will strengthen your relationship. This should not be the case  in a relationship? Sharing problems, the common path, ourselves  goals, the same outlook on life! Love, trust and communication are the solid foundations to build a successful relationship that will not bend over time.

And if he finds out and doesn't want to see you again? It's not the end of the world! You smile, end the relationship with dignity, and quietly leave. Why? At the next turn, the one waiting for you is  a person who will accept you and your diabetes. Who will love you unconditionally for all that you are and  that will be worth it and you will deserve to be given to him completely. You have no reason to compromise in relationships where you are not yourself, that are falling apart  your self-esteem and lower your psychology.

Remember that those who reject you for your diabetes, they are people without empathy, without feelings and they do not deserve to be in your life. Open the door and leave without second thoughts and without qualms.

If you haven't found true love yet, it's never too late! The time will come when you will experience it completely and utterly. So enjoy love whenever it comes.  as he deserves and as you deserve

Love yourself, believe that you deserve the best and love will come soon and unexpectedly.  to turn your life upside down!
