Waiting It Out.

Like it or not, diabetes makes us prepare patience in addition to fine tunes our waiting skills in addition to makes us shout out upwards that promise does indeed float
#####

 The terms  "waiting it out" in addition to “waiting out” refers to all types of things when it comes to living alongside diabetes. 
Sometimes nosotros receive got to wait out a depression blood carbohydrate xv grams of carbs at at time. We receive got to wait out the hunger, the fearfulness in addition to the fact that nosotros think that our blood carbohydrate volition never become up. And piece we’re waiting nosotros endeavor our best to calm ourselves downwards & proceed it together - in addition to non simply for ourselves, but equally good for the people nosotros love.
Other times a high blood carbohydrate forces us to wait it out for hours in addition to it tin terminate look similar forever. And sometimes no affair how much nosotros correction bolus ( or rage bolus,) our blood sugars simply won't come upwards down. And no affair how many tears of frustration nosotros shed or how loud nosotros curse, nosotros nonetheless receive got to await for what has gone upwards to run its agency done - And it's  frustrating equally hell!
We wait it out inwards doctors offices (checkout the flickr grouping Waiting alongside Diabetes for actual photographic evidence) for hours in addition to hours in addition to hours - And if nosotros could tally all those hours nosotros pass waiting I’m certain it would equal at to the lowest degree a day... possibly fifty-fifty two.
And earlier nosotros genuinely arrive into the doctors office, nosotros wait out the results of our labs in addition to wait it out until nosotros genuinely teach the results in addition to sit down downwards alongside our Endo. 
During the fourth dimension that nosotros pass waiting our labs out, nosotros play all sorts of heed games inwards the cast of “what ifs” because of the stress nosotros lay on the pregnant of those results - And the pregnant others lay on those results. 
Waiting it out requires patience in addition to tenacity all rolled into ane - And waiting it out forces us to selection ourselves upwards in addition to forge ahead - Even when that’s the final thing nosotros experience similar doing.
We are forced to wait it out when it comes to that to our insurance companies in addition to whether or non they'll approve life saving diabetes technologies similar insulin pumps,  CGM's, exam strips in addition to insulin. How many times receive got nosotros waited it out four our insurance to approve in addition to or boundary the release of times they think nosotros should exam our blood sugars or the type of insulin nosotros similar verses the type of insulin our insurance volition genuinely pay for? We await out the bullshit piece writing letters in addition to getting our doctors to write letters to our insurance companies  - instead of simply sitting pretty in addition to accepting their denials.

As PWDs (people alongside diabetes) nosotros await out injuries that powerfulness convey longer to heal because of our faulty pancreases , in addition to nosotros proceed on going.
And we’ve spent decades in addition to decades waiting on a cure for diabetes - And each of us has been told that a cure was simply v to 10 years downwards the throughway from all of our collective diagnoses. And inwards 2012 nosotros are all nonetheless waiting for a diabetes cure - And I gotta say you lot - it's getting old. 

Bottom line: waiting it out when it comes to living alongside diabetes requires us to hold upwards rigid in addition to waiting out requires us to hold upwards song equally hell when it comes to out wellness in addition to a diabetes cure.... And waiting it out requires us to never hand up!

 How practice you lot  "wait it out" when it comes to diabetes?
