It's my diaversary today!

I almost never make posts like this but I guess this one seemed like a bit of a milestone. Been t1d for 3/4 of my life! 15 years since 5 year old me went to my hospital appointment to be treated for 1 disease (HSP booooo) only to get diagnosed with another! Wow, 2 for 1 baybeh, what a bargain! Well, I got rid of that first one a while back but looks like the t1's here to stay.

Anyway, here's my face from a long time ago, the day after I was diagnosed (my mum thinks it is anyway but her memory is notoriously awful) when I went to a friend's 6th birthday party and ran around like crazy and ate shit loads of cake (hah, look at them trying to be optimistic and putting grapes on the table).

Gotta give a big shout out to my mum who was never overly protective and always the right amount of supportive (and very creative in her swearing for all the days we went out and she forgot to bring my insulin) and the amazing diabetes youth team who were fucking incredible even when I was going through periods of being a little shit and pretending that my t1d didn't exist (do not recommend this).

Anyway. Being type 1 diabetic sucks. It's awful, it's stressful, it manages to fuck with you just when you think you've got things under control... It's also the reason for some of my best friendships, I think living with it has genuinely helped me to be a more empathetic person, and the technology is improving and advancing so fast it's fucking crazy. (Like, 5 year old me would have their mind blown if they learnt they'd get to be an android one day.)

And finally, just to make sure this doesn't get too off theme, I've also provided some truly inspirational quotes from the legend himself as he aces a task.

Also very much love that this was one of the top comments on YouTube for this task:

It's officially the 21st, which means it's been exactly 2 years since I've been told that my pancreas noped out on me.

At least I got myself this plush as a replacement this year. It doesn't work either, but at least it's cute. 😂

🎉 Happy five year diaversary to me 🎉

When I went to the hospital on this day five years ago, I never expected to be admitted to the ICU with ketoacidosis. The picture on the left is from a month later, when I was struggling with anorexia and depression on top of all the ins and outs of type one diabetes. I was trying so hard to make everyone think I was okay because I was living alone in my first apartment, finishing my degree, and goddammit I was going to succeed even if it meant crying for hours because suddenly it felt like I could no longer do anything I previously could without at least five times the effort, if I had the energy and blood sugar to spare.

The picture on the right is me today. There are still many difficult days - today was one of them - but I can take it in stride for the most part. I have learned to ask for help when I need it and express when I am having trouble and need to take care of myself. Diabetes has taught me it’s okay to be selfish sometimes, and to take chances when they come because any day could be my last. While my life is not perfect, I can confidently say that I am happier and healthier than I ever thought I could be when I was lying in that hospital bed five years ago. I have a wonderful support network of family, friends, and coworkers who have been there for me when I needed them. My biggest support has been my husband, who was only 20 when I was diagnosed and chose to stay with me even though I told him I would understand if he left - he has now saved my life more times than I can count.

I am also grateful to this community. I have been able to learn, laugh, rant, and find validation with others who experience the same things I do. While we may never have a cure in our lifetimes, we can keep going one day at a time and make it to the next diaversary, and the next, and the next. Until the next time, friends ❤️

This week, 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, and my life changed forever. Literally 😭 To be frank, I hate this disease and how it can potentially harm me at any given moment, how I have to keep an extra keen eye on the things I consume, how I have to watch every part of my anatomy to ensure I don't get tangled up in doors, handles, etc.

The medicine is expensive, living is expensive.

On the other hand, I can't see myself without it. It very much is a part of me, something I can't change or wish away. It doesn't control my life, per se, but it does affect a majority of the things I do or don't do.

It also feels weird that I can't exactly remember the date anymore. I get asked a lot "when were you diagnosed?" and it's always a 30 second montage of figuring it out--Was it 2012? 2013??

I remember watching the start of TMNT 2012, and I'm pretty sure I was diagnosed then. So, for the most part, 10 years now. Crazy to think about.

Here's to more, anyway. I've got a brand new CGM in the works, and I'm ready to continue learning and working towards a better me. Cheers!

“i love you steady bloodsugar” cool yeah thanks good for you glad you’re not diabetic :)

#coming up on my nineteenth diaversary and i am. bitter #so seeing that post just made me like. seethe. #like i get it and i get the point of the post and i understand that it’s fighting against diet culture #but it also cuts a little because like. no matter how hard i try i never have a steady bloodsugar. and it’s been nineteen years with no end #in sight #and it’s frustrating to see something so blatantly not meant for diabetics #idk if that makes sense or if im just being a sensitive diabetic who needs to get over it #but it just. hhhhhhhh it’s infuriating a little bit!!! #anyways #tbd #they do be rambling

#by which i mean there is a decent chance i wont wake up but thats a problem for future me #so harddddd to do my body's job for her. thang don't work. and brain dont work. what am i supposed to do #im still going down with no explanation according to sensor. so i really should do a blood test or set an alarm or something #i wont 👍 #super fun that the times when diabetes needs the most attention is when im sick. and eepyyyyyy #cus like im still fantasising about bwing hospitalised so other people can manage my diabetes for me #and i could be spending that time fantasising about vore or something yknow #but it would be funny to spend my diaversary (next week) in hospital. for the lols #debbie tees

Noah x type 1 diabetic mood board

A/n: I wanted to make a mood board for my chronically ill baddies like me, I haven’t see it done before so I thought I’d do it💞

Noah dating a diabetic includes

Him researching as much as he can about it. He will text you random things he finds out to ask if they’re right or not. He wants to understand it completely to be able to help you the best he can

He keeps low snacks in his bag in case you forget to restock yours. He also keeps an extra site change if you are a pump user

He’d wake up to your CGM alarms for you and get you snacks if it was low or he’d give you a correction so then you don’t have to get up and fool with it

He’d bring you water when your sugar is high, knowing it helps to bring it down

He gets you all your favorite foods and sweets on your diaversary (the day you were diagnosed)

If he knows you’re tired from your sugar being out of wack, he just holds you while you take a nap

Can and will beat the fuck out of anyone who gives you shit for it

Sometimes refers to you as his “sugar baby”

He randomly quotes “a little bit longer” by the Jonas brothers at you anytime you complain about something small regarding your sugar

His nightstand is STOCKED with juice boxes. He does occasionally steal one at 3 in the morning when he wakes up and is PARCHED

Gets excited when you give him a pack of gummies from your low snacks, he considers it a high honor
