Happy diabetes awareness month . Some of you may know I'm a type 1 diabetic and this month i plan on making several posts about living with diabetes. If you wish to show your support for diabetics this month wear blue and grey. And if you yourself is a diabetics reblog this post with your diagnoses story.

happy world diabetes day to all my diabetics out there.

it’s tough having something that others cant see and cant understand. health education on diabetes to the masses is filled w ignorance, and non-diabetics either treat us like glass or that we’re just like them.

it’s tough out there for a diabitch

In a different, yet just as important, viewpoint jumping off of my last post:

@ people with diabetes or diabetes advocates

When you see someone say or post the ignorant 'this iz so sweet imma get diabeetus' idiocy

Do NOT respond with wishing harm on them!

Seriously, what?

I know a lot of diabetics overreact when someone says the thing, and i've been there done that got the crappy shirt etc

It's frustrating, SO frustrating, to see this disease taken so lightly and ignorantly almost everywhere, especially if you're having a bad time or feeling burnt out. But if you really feel the need to respond, whether specifically to the person OR just in general

DO NOT RESPOND BY WISHING HARM ON THEM!

First off, it's a horrible, genuinely morally reprehensible thing to do. Step back, give yourself space, and cool off. Vent in private if you feel the need to. That's what friends and DMs are for! :D

Second, when your behavior is worse than that of the person you're upset with, YOU ARE NO LONGER IN THE RIGHT. You are no longer a victim—you're a jerk. I don't care how upset or hurt you are. Act like a normal fucking human.

Also

TELLING SOMEONE YOU HOPE THEY DEVELOP T1D IS WISHING HARM ON THEM

If you see a joke or, in this case, something that's unfortunately become a common phrase, that makes light of diabetes or is based on ignorance and stereotypes or otherwise upset you, here's what you do:

1. Step away.

Yes, I'm serious. Breathe. It's a stupid phrase—do not let words, especially some random stranger's words, hurt you! Do not give people that kind of power over you.

2. Decide if you're up to getting (civilly!) involved.

2a. If you decide you're calm enough to talk to them about it and why that little thoughtless thing they said and then totally forgot about was upsetting to you, take this as an opportunity to educate. Especially when here on tumblr, because you're not talking to just that person! (Unless ofc it's in DMs). You're talking to everyone who will see that post!

Take the opportunity and use it wisely!

2b. Block 'em.

Again, perfectly serious here. Never be guilty about blocking someone, even if it's for as simple a reason as they popped up on your screen and were annoying.

I block people who say diabetes jokes, all the time! Especially when I'm browsing a tag and that kind of content is cluttering it. The button is right there: use it!

Tldr: be nice to each other

I just wanna rant real quick

Diabetes is such a shitty thing sometimes. If it’s not trying to count carbs and take the correct amount of medicine or panic and over correct your low sugars. It’s medicine that makes you sick every once in a while no matter how long you’ve been on it. Medicine that makes you nauseous or be in the bathroom for so long. I’m just tired. I’m so tired

It was this day two years ago I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with DKA, (Diabetic KetoAcidosis) with a blood sugar of over 800 and an A1C of 15.3. I fought back and won my fight. My A1C is currently 5.4

diabetes is not a fucking joke. It is not just what you say about an unhealthy food. It isn't, "man that is diabetes in a a can" or whatever the fuck else. As someone who's best friend has literally collapsed into my arms on the verge of passing out because her monitor was malfunctioning, it annoys the shit outta me when people say shit like this. Diabetes is a serious condition, it's not funny.

If you have ever made a joke like this you're obviously not a bad person, learn from your mistake. Try and do better because it's all you can do.

This is why I love Ed.

Having someone like him to look up to when I was growing up, someone who was funny AND realistic about living with a chronic condition, helped so much, more than I probably even realised at the time.

Also I think growing up with a healthy perspective of type 1 has given me the mindset where I'm actually enjoying being someone my recently diagnosed little niece can look up to too! ❤️

#ed gamble #diabetes #type 1 diabetes #ed talking about his t1d #diabetes awareness #diabetes awareness month #and Ed's said multiple times that one of the reasons he started talking openly about type 1 is cause he didn’t have that person growing up #so yeah #i like this human

I am genuinely confused why most people seem to think if a diabetes has low blood sugar, they need insulin. This misinformation has killed people and will continue to do so.

Like, think logicaly for half a second. If my blood sugar is low, I have a lack of sugar in my blood.

And I know its not that they think insulin gives sugar or something, when I've had high blood sugar I've had people ask me if I needed sugar.

hi!  I am desperately in need for help.

#Type1Diabetes , I'm a dead human 😭. I'm a disabled mom so can't work after I had an accident. I've a spinal cord problem ..my blood sugar is high and I'm last to my pen.

I urgently need $ 350 for insulin.

ANY donation would be hugely appreciated.

oh. this is not what I expected to wake up to,uh- I'm super sorry that's happened to you, I can't do much money wise for you but I can make sure this gets around hopefully??

I'm sorry again that's happening, I hate inflation and what's it's done medically for all of us

Diabetic math is (Xcarb:Yunit) +or- correction. In which the ratio changes frequently over the course of your life. It can take 10-15 minutes sometimes to calculate the carbs in a meal then plug in your unit ratio then check bloodsugars then factor in the correction. By the time I've started eating most the people I'm out to lunch with are halfway done so everyone will be waiting on me again.

It's November!! That means it's Diabetes awareness month! I wish all my fellow diabetics a happy November and know that you got this. You are valued and diabetes is hard and it sucks sometimes but you're doing great and I am very very proud of you.

Remember to dose for insulin and check your blood glucose. Have a little treat because you deserve it, and have a great month!
