My diabetes footprint. Make your own @ JDRF.org/NDAM |
November 1, the first day of Diabetes Awareness Month.
Somethings you need to know about diabetes - no matter the type.
I've had t1 diabetes almost as long as I've been on the planet.
Living with and managing diabetes is fucking hard work and all encompassing - and no matter what type of diabetes you have - so let's not fight about what type is worse.
Some days diabetes rocks me to the core, other days diabetes plays nicely in the corner.
Every day is a day a "Diabetes Day," no matter the month - it's always by my side.
If I hated diabetes, I'd be hating myself - and I'm done hating.
I already have enough self esteem issues.
Magazines and websites constantly tell us that we are not tall enough, short enough, skinny and or curvy enough.
I don't need another reason to tear myself apart. - I already do that without blaming diabetes.
Do I get mad at my diabetes? YES.
Is the Pope Catholic?
Do I work hard to have my diabetes be drama free YES.
DO I flip my diabetes bitchswitch?
You bet your sweet ass!
If you have diabetes - keep up the good work, get back up when you stumble and please know that you are not alone.
If you love someone with diabetes - thanks for your support. We need and appreciate it so much.
And we need and love you and all you do for us.
And we need and love you and all you do for us.
If you want to learn about diabetes - this month is a great time to learn and ask questions.
Thank you for coming to #MyDiabetesTedTalk, Day 1
