I can relate. And the thing about it is that you know what you have to do. When I was first diagnoised 24 years ago. I didn't want to take them either it was my mom that was all over me on taking it. You need to remember something very important. Your actions not only affect you but those around you. I didn't learn that till a few years ago.
When your sugars are too high you become impossible to deal with (that is if you are like I was) Always drinking to keeping your mouth moist. Always using the bathroom, tired and fatiqued. When you do this you aren't only hurting your body but you are hurting the ones you love. They are trying to understand (even though they don't know exactly what you are going thru) they want to see you live a full and happy life. And by not taking your meds you aren't going to live that life. If you keep doing what you are doing you may not have a tomarrow.
I can't count how many times I wond up in the hospital after being diagnoised with bloodsugars over 500 and the Dr.'s and nurses always coming down on me about takeing my insulin and checking my blood. I can tell you this. I was in the hospital at least every other month due to High sugars. There were times when I would drive myself in. And that is just as bad as Driving under the influence.
Right now you say that when the time comes I will reep the repercutions of my actions that I am doing right now. But when it actually hits you aren't going to be saying that. YOu are going to be asking yourself WHY? WHY didn't I just take my medication and follow the Dr.'s advise?
You need to ask yourself RIGHT this minute. WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT in my life? If it is your family, friends what ever then ask yourself. AT WHAT COST WILL I GO THRU TO KEEP (THEM / IT) IN MY LIFE? It is totally up to you. No one can make you take your medicine or check your blood. YOU and ONLY YOU alone can deside the fate of your life and how it will affect others.
This didn't hit me till I was pregnate with my first child. Unfortunately Kyra didn't make it to full term. They took her at 20 weeks gestational. She had pottersyndrom which is where one kidney developed but was cystic and the other didn't develope at all. That was almost 14 years ago. During those 5 months I tried my best to do everything that the Dr.'s told me to do but I didn't. So a year later when I had Deanna I did everything I possibly could. I wasn't perfect at doing everything but I took my meds and yes I had very low sugars with that as well. When she was born she was jondice and her bloodsugar was high because right before the c-section my sugar was going low. Then after having her 18 months later I had my son his blood sugar was low when he was born and he was jondice. They are now 11 and 13 years old. My son is ODD with ADHD tendioncies. My step daughters are ADD.
So please at least of all things take your insulin. That little pin poke isn't as bad as if you winde up in the hospital with collapsed veins and they have to put cathidor in your neck or even take blood out of your feet. It isn't fun.
I am seriously thinking about going on the insulin pump not due to me not taking my meds but because it is very difficult to find the right dose for me.
Sorry so long.
Take care of yourself.
