Being in the diabetes community is really hard for me.

Most of the time, posting and interacting with other diabetes content feels like… shared trauma, I guess? Like, it feels like people almost always post about the bad things, because it’s a chronic illness that’s exhausting, and never stops, and probably is never getting ‘better’ (in the sense of not being ‘sick’ anymore), and there’s always something wrong, and people die somewhat often from not being able to afford insulin because of price gouging and capitalism and classism and….

A lot of people on diabetes tumblr are like, mutuals and support each other and really respond to each other’s posts. Which is very kind, and an act of solidarity, I think.

But it also still feels like a lot of energy for me. It feels exhausting to just think about how fucking tiring my life is all the time. Even when my numbers are good. Even when I’m able to be doing a good job.

It’s still so tiring to think about how the other shoe could drop literally anytime.

I personally have a lot of trauma around diabetes, being diagnosed young and thinking I would die soon for a long time. It’s taken a long, long time to be less dissociated and actually feel my body cues and trust that I’m going to keep living.

But at the same time, I hate inspiration porn, and those diabetics who flaunt that they “can do anything they put their mind to, just like anyone else!” and who brag that they don’t eat sugar.

I feel like I’ve been needing to say this for a long time. My diabetes blog is somewhat inactive, and my posts are, more often than not, ‘vent’ type posts or posts about the negative parts of diabetes.

But at the same time, my diabetes is better than it’s ever been, so I’m proud of myself for that. And I guess on that level, it’s not as big of ‘a thing’ for me?

But I feel bad for talking about it, even though it’s taken a lot to get there.

I just… I don’t know.

The T1D community on here feels tiring, and it makes me feel worn out to think about how exhausted and burnt out we all are, more often than not. But the thought of deleting this blog is a little bit sad. (But at the same time, what’s the point of keeping this blog around if it’s just exhausting to me to think about and remind me how bitter about my diabetes?)

I feel mixed feelings about the people in the diabetes community. It's really hard for me to find people my own age who feel the same way about their diabetes and instead of shaming me when I'm having a bad diabetes day(I have an insulin pump and other diabetics are not as fortunate to have one and they feel I should not be complaining since its easier for me to manage) agree with me and try to support and uplift each other.

It's hard to find diabetics in general and the ones I do find are often the type that say "you shouldn't eat sugar" or "how do you eat that without your sugar spiking...?" Diabetics that treat me like a price of shit just for managing my life differently than them.

I'm a diabetic that has accepted the fact that diabetes is a huge part of my life. I still eat whatever the fuck I want. I still exercise whenever the fuck I want. I bake and cook and make desserts. I'm a diabetic that will never "tell you to look on the bright side" and then shame you for feeling bad. I will agree and validate you.

I'd missed Annabeth probably more than I wanted to admit.

Happy birthday, Kaiju

If you see this post you have to say happy birthday to my lizard

She is ten* now!

She loathes the party hat

but she LOVED the cake.

She is very good and very beautiful and loves people and attention and going on walks.

She is my best friend and I think everybody should say happy birthday to Kaiju!

*Approximately. She was about one when I got her, and I’ve had her for nine years, so we’re calling her ten.

When you've decided you just want a snack because you're not that hungry-

But you've already prebolused for a while ass meal and you've got about 30 minutes before your blood sugar starts dropping

Also semi-proud that I prebolused today, it's just sad that I regretted it 😭
