#non diabetic

everyone is in the hospital today. My aunt’s in her 10th hour of labor with this baby- at her own insistence, she refuses any alternatives. My grandma passed out in her living room on our way to get her to see my aunt. My brother was already in hospital, but had to be taken into the emergency room all of a sudden on our way over- we got a call from the hospital and thought it was something about the baby, but turns out one of the holes in his kidney has opened back up- apparently one appeared in his liver too. Its a lot right now.

Mom keeps yelling at me in the waiting area in between yelling at hospital staff- about incompetence in “these liberal run hospitals that care more about killing babies than birthing them” (her words, not mine) about dad leaving her behind with two kids and a house to take care of, about me not doing enough. She’s panicking. She was like this when they first discovered the holes in Ed’s kidney, she was like this when dad died. It still sucks. Everything sucks today. And I know nothing I do- even if I were to disappear- will help.

If you're diabetic and freaking out about the news of Trump being elected, you have to stay alive. I love you, there's a place for you here, our community will protect each other and we will come out of this stronger.

T1D culture is...

people asking acquaintances/partner(s)/family about diabetes, instead of asking the person who has it.

Having an episodic medical condition means having to write detailed documents for people on what they should do in the event of an episode, walking them through every scenario, having to explain your episodes to everyone whose going to be a recurring figure in your life, wear extremely obvious medical I.D., and constantly try to raise awareness about your condition because ignorance kills.

And that's all just in HOPES that people will use basic common sense. And still your episodes are still handled incorrectly on a regular basis.

So insurance is a huge pain and it has been keeping me from getting my glucose monitor and my insulin pump so I’ve been doing diabetes care the old fashioned way which is…. So annoying, but I had to get a new meter because the one I brought to college with me for emergencies just like this for some reason doesn’t work cuz the strips aren’t going in, and look at absolutely tiny this mf is

sometimes i wish i could inflict low blood sugar on people

Me in 2021:

Me now:

I've been on a closed loop system since 2022 and it's the first thing that's actually worked to get my blood glucose down permanently.

(I use the Dexcom/Tandem T:slim system)

I gifted myself an Apple Watch last year to track my health better, but it also allows me to show my blood glucose on the screen. Which is an oddly sentimental element, because when I was 6 and first diagnosed with Type 1 my grandmother said: "One day you'll be able to see your blood glucose on a watch, you mark my words!"

It might not be quite what either of us imagined, but hey gramma, I can see it on my watch now :')

Hey diabetic moots,

I've been rolling around the idea of writing a LADA Buck fic lately because why have T1D if I can't project onto a fictional character once in a while?

Would anyone be interested in reading and/or contributing their own experiences to the pool of knowledge for this fic so I can write something that's healing and appeals to those who have also had their lives put in a chokehold by this disease?

Let me know!!!
