I hate the damn diabetes.

Hit = golpear.

La última frase todavía no suena natural, pero no sé como rectificarlo en una sola frase. La mejor idea que tengo actualmente sería:

Damn diabetes. I hate it.

Fine job, Lou Ann!

Right sentences, wrong attitude.


"Sobre" was not wrong, but "de" sounds more natural to me.
