Is this something that is wanted?
Hey internet, 
So I have been living with Type 1 Diabetes for 25 years and it has been a rollercoaster (but we wont get into this here). 
I have come out on top of this, but when I was struggling (and when I still do) I found a lot other diabetics being really “inspiration porny” and overly positive (if that makes sense) about it.  I also found that people shared an unrealistic and dramatized version of what living with diabetes is like.  I didn’t really resonate with this and found myself really disconnected from the diabetic world as a result. 
I am now in a place where I can share what I have been through and my realistic (and hopefully humorous yet useful) experiences as someone who hates regular exercise, thinks dieting is stupid and is a frequent speaker of the phrase “oh sh*t I forgot my insulin”).
Is this a thing that the internet is interested in reading?
