My problem started since I was 6, it began with an extreme fear
of diabetes. Whenever i heard the word
diabetes, I start to panic and have trouble breathing, my stomach hurts, get diarrhea and then start to feel the actual symptoms of the disease. In fact, I stopped sleeping on my left side because i am scared that would damage my pancreas. Moreover, if i touch a paper that has the word diabetes written on, I always wash my hands so as not to contract diabetes.
