a bit of a more personal piece.
I deal with Type 1 Diabetes. The Lord God almighty has seen me through so much over 23 years of maintaining it. It's been rough but God is ever faithful.
I sometimes see other T1D people where they embrace it to the point thats all they are- someone with T1D. I can't help but feel sad about that. I have joy in my identity with the Lord and not my condition and I hope other find their identities in Him as well.
But for those who arent,
Who are you besides the needles,pumps,finger sticks,and highs and lows? There's more to life than just your numbers and corrections. Take care of yourself, but please remember:
You are not your T1D.
You are stronger than your T1D.

Hey Tumblr,
I was working on some crochet pieces when I realised I’m not sure how attached I am to my original project idea of emotions. It wasn’t feeling personal to me.
I was telling my friends how I felt about my project and showed them the mind map I did when we first got the brief
We agreed that something more personal would make for a more unique and heartfelt project.
I decided to go with how my chronic illness has disrupted my life since my diagnosis at 6.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 6 on Christmas Day so I could bring some Christmas imagery in if I wanted to as well.
I will be exploring this from now on, I’ll be somewhat starting over which I’m ok with as I feel I have a lot more to say with this subject matter than my last one :)

Going through some old papers. Here's some unfinished thing I did in my late 20s while struggling with the new rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis on top of diabetes.

we had to refill two different kinds of insulin this week and I made a thing about it. profits from sales of this item will ironically go towards purchasing more insulin. available here, also in shirt and button and notebook format, among other things.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! Donate what you can! If you leave your username with the donation and a request for a picture, I’ll happily fulfill that request!
The longer I go without insulin, the sicker I become. My hours got cut at work and so it’s been harder and harder to pay for my medication. I’m doing my best, but it only goes so far since I need to pay 1,500 dollars a month for just a months supply.
I hate having to ask, but please, not that I’m officially out, I don’t know what else to do.

My neighbor's granddaughter was recently diagnosed with Type-1 Diabetes. As a show of support, I drew her as a super hero! My mom mailed it out a few days ago so she can have it in person 😊
