Doctors tell us that we are sick, especially a disease that is currently incurable by the medical community. It is a very cruel thing for anyone, especially for young people with type 1 diabetes who have just been diagnosed. fact! At the beginning, I refused to accept this fact. It was so painful for me to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It felt like the whole world was abandoning me, and all the good hopes in my life had disappeared. As I went through stages of denial, blame, and even anger, sometimes self-defeat, depression, and finally, I accepted the fact. I want to tell the sugar friends who have just fallen ill that the stages just mentioned are normal psychological changes, but as long as you don’t give up on yourself, the world will always open a bright door to you!
How to quickly help us face diabetes and actively receive treatment? The following methods may help you:
1. Communicate more with your family and get encouragement and support from your family to get through the initial stage of the disease smoothly!

3. Seek help from doctors and nurses, not only for help with diseases, but also from psychologists. Psychiatrists can provide us with correct psychological counseling suggestions and help us adjust our emotions.
Subjectively no one wants to get sick, and objectively few people do not want to get sick. Since I have diabetes, I must accept the fact that I have the disease and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. As the saying goes, "Everything is difficult at the beginning." We must remember that accepting the reality of the disease is a necessary stage for every diabetic patient and a prerequisite for treating diabetes.

Diabetes is not terrible. Compared with some cancers and lifelong diseases that seriously affect the quality of life, diabetes is a chronic disease that can be completely treated and controlled. Since the reality of illness cannot be changed, we must adapt to the current situation of illness. We must "accept reality, be optimistic about the disease", actively cooperate with doctors in treatment, and minimize our own disadvantages. Once we can face reality, we begin to learn how to manage diabetes. With blood sugar under control, we will have a healthier, more energetic life!
