driving my friends away

[betfry]

I do have friends, but i know they think im a loser
reason: i never go out, stay in (only see em at college) say "no thanks" to parties. So in the end they get tired and stop trying to be friendly, i don't blame them- they put a lot of effort in and i don't act like any sort of friend

they also think im very quiet/shy
reason: i don't say a lot (so correct on that part!) because im afraid i'll say something they'll think is weird. it's happened. sometimes they think im "delicate" which is SO annoying!!!

I'm sure they don't think you're a loser, i think alot of us emets have esteem and or confidence issues, and I know I always think people think things about me or don't like me and am always shocked if i find out the opposite is true!

You'e right they will stop asking you to go out if you always say no, but it's not necessarily because they are tired or not trying to be friendly anymore, it's just human nature if you keep asking anyone something whether it be an invite to a party, or offering to make them a drink or whatever if they always say no you're not going to carry on asking are you?

Are there one or two people at college you feel closer to than the others who you could maybe invitr around to your house for tea one evening and to do whatevr it is you are interested in computer games, watch a dvd etc You need to build your confidence slowly and bit by bit it will get better and at least on your home ground you will feel more secure to start with.Edited by: paulinek

Paulinek is right. It does get better. Start with what you feel safe with and work from there. a true friend will stick by you even with your fear

Keep glucose goods close at hand. If you are traveling by plane, pack your medications, insulin,
Aion kina syringes, test strips, lancets, ketone strips, and other supplies so there's no chance of losing them. If you don't already have one, get a medical ID bracelet or necklace that alerts people that you have Diabetes and provides a number to call in an emergency.

Pack a snack. Wherever you go, take a totable snack like an apple, an energy bar, a banana, raisins, or cheese and crackers in case your blood sugar starts to dip when you don't have immediate access to your food. If you sample your snacks en route, replenish your supplies as soon as you can.

Mind your meals. If you're flying or taking an extended trip by rail, call the carrier a few days before you depart and ask what special meals they have available for people with Diabetes or heart disease (there may be more than one option to choose from).

When you're en route, wait for meal service to actually begin before you take your pre-meal insulin to make sure you don't experience low blood sugar in the event that service is unexpectedly slowed or canceled. When traveling by car, try to stick to your regular mealtime schedule to keep your blood sugar stable. Sro Gold If that's not possible, carry snacks along with you and be alert to symptoms of low blood sugar, such as nervousness, sweating, and crankiness. If you feel a hypoglycemic episode coming on, pull over immediately and take sugar pill or have something to eat. Wait at least 10 to 15 minutes for the feeling to pass before continuing

Get in the zone. Traveling across different time zones can throw your schedule completely off, but you can compensate for the disruption if you're careful. When adding hours to your day by traveling west, you may need to take more insulin. When losing hours traveling east, you may need less. Check with your doctor for specific recommendations. As for timing your injections and meals, keep your watch set to your Home time as you travel to your destination, then switch your watch -- and your schedule -- to the local time the morning after you arrive.
