Interest Check: I would love to have some sort of fan event for the upcoming Diabetes Awareness Month in November.
I'm thinking of doing some sort of prompt meme or general fest type thing. I want it low stress, low commitment, you can make whatever you want so long as there's t1d in it somewhere. Fic, art, gifs, anything goes. Any fandom welcome except RPF. Pretty much exactly like what usually goes here, except in a fest format.
I think it would be a good idea to offer some sort of prompts, like lows/highs, tech, diagnosis, whatever.
I have no issues with people doing their own thing either or heck just updating WIPs, but working in a prompt format or making a prompt meme (where people can give specific prompts and writers/artists pick and choose) can be really fun and bring a bit of cohesion to it while displaying the different ways people experience and create things. And ofc it helps offer motivation/inspiration.
So I guess if there's anything specific you want to see with a t1d specific fan event, shoot me an ask or a DM or reblog and let me know. Whether you're interested, what would make things easier for a larger variety of formats (gifs, art, podfics), or anything you want prompted.
I mean. There's a lot involved with this disease, and so many different ways to live with it and have to experience it and. I think this could be a great way to offer new content with t1d but also work with awareness month.
So yeah. Rambling a bit but please please please let me know what you folks would be interested in. Even if you don't plan to create anything yourself but there's something you want to see. Let's hear it.

A little rant about T1D
Just a little rant as a type 1 diabetic. To make this clear this isn't what all type 1 diabetic think and go through, just my experiences.
----------------------------------------------------
Type 1 vs Type 2
I just hate when people think type 1 and type 2 are the same. They really aren't. Just cause your grandma is on a sugar free/ low carb diet doesn't mean I need to be on one to. losing weight and eating clean doesn't reverse shit. It helps but it isn't a main part of treatment.
Treatment
Everyone has their different treatment plans. Some use a pump. Some use viles ( idk if I spelled that right) of insulin. Some use pens. Some use a cgm and some use a metor ( some times both). Sometimes when you dose is also dependent. I see some people think it's a one size fits all ( mostly people who don't have it) but it's not.
Insurance
Is a pain. We have been fighting to get a cgm that works with a insulin pump. I have a freestyle libra which doesn't go with any pump. My doctor keeps pushing for one that does but we haven't heard anything from them. We also had a few problems with billing and almost had to pay over a thousand just to get the supplies I needed for that month....a perfect way to say you live in America without saying you in America
Lows and Highs
I usually have more lows than I do highs. I still have highs though. They both hurt but lows hurt worse in my opinion. I get irrationally angry and tired with both tho. I just can't seem to explain it to people. It's like they think im making excuses but im not, your blood sugar can affect your mental health.
Disability
Yes, type 1 is considered a disability. And rightfully so! Not all disabilities are visible. That's all I have to say about it.
Everyday life
When I was first diagnosed I was told that diabetes wasn't gonna rule my life. That was a complete lie. I know what they meant was I was gonna be able to do everything everyone else can. And Sure I can do most things other people can but I will never be able to just go out with friends without a plan. I have trouble with eating out because of the fear of getting orders wrong and people staring when I dose . I struggle with all the bruises and blood stains on white clothes. I often feel insecure about it and insecure about the stretches that take forever to heal. I struggle with being able to go on runs and exercise freely with no worry. I have to eat when im not hungry and I can't just eat whatever I want when I feel like it. Traveling over seas isn't impossible but is hard. Half my house is just my supplies. And Don't even get me started on sick days.
I hate the mindset that either you're a bum or you're inspirational and overcome everything. I have good days but I also have terrible days when my blood sugar won't stabilize and I feel like shit. That's okay! I feel like that shouldn't make me a bad person. I'm not gonna pretend that my life is like everyone else because diebetes is apart of me now. It affects every aspect of my life in some way or another.

Greater than my highs and lows
Before you get into this, just know that a low blood sugar is not just a shaky feeling. It’s one of the worst feelings I’ve ever experienced but is extremely hard to describe, so sorry for bad descriptions!
Her eyes shot open as the shaky feeling quickly crept into her body. Despite it being 2 in the morning, she already had her senses and knew exactly what was going on.
She forced her exhausted body into a sitting position and shakily reached over for the meter. Quietly unzipping the bag, she loaded the strip into the device and pricked her finger. The letters 35 glowed brightly on the screen.
She let out a surprised sigh and ran a hand over her sweaty face. Knowing she wouldn’t make it far on her own, she shifted her gaze to her sleeping husband. She hated the thought of waking him up, knowing he doesn’t get much sleep anyways. But her health was on the line and she knew he would scold her if she tried to handle it herself.
She laid a gentle hand on his side and gave a slight shake. “Russell.” She whispered. “Russell honey, I need some help.”
He slowly rolled over and his blue eyes fluttered open. Reality donning on him, he quickly sat up in bed.
“What’s wrong? You don’t look good.” Her face was pale and coated in sweat. Her eyes were accentuated by the dark circles hanging underneath. His eyes shifted to the meter still laying on the bed and his expression immediately softened.
“What is it?”
“35.” His eyes widened and a shocked look grew on his face.
“Shit, that’s the lowest you’ve been in a while. Stay right here I’ll go get the juice.” He threw the covers back and hopped out of bed, speed walking out the door. She took deep breaths and tried to calm down the internal feeling of dread. Not matter how long she’s been diabetic, or how many of these she’s had, she doesn’t think she’ll ever get used to that feeling. So familiar yet so terrifying.
He came back a few minutes later with a small juice box and half of a peanut butter sandwich in hand. “Alright. You know the rules, juice first.” She was thankful that she had Russell to keep her on track. If she was alone, she couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t eat the whole kitchen.
She finished the juice and set the empty container on her night stand. She looked back over to Russell to see he had his arms open, ready for an embrace. She scooted closer to him and laid her head on his firm chest while his arms wrapped around her shaky form.
“I’m sorry.” She somewhat mumbled into his chest.
“What for?” He lightly stroked her hair as he questioned.
“For waking you up. I know you’ve been working hard and you don’t get much sleep on a normal basis. So I’m sorry for taking away from your rest.”
“No reason for you to be sorry.” He pulled away slightly and looked into her eyes.
“It’s not your fault, you didn’t ask for this. And I love you, the least I can do is make sure you don’t die on me.” He chucked out and she smiled.
She was half asleep, snuggled up to his warm body when she felt his deep voice tumblr through his chest.
“15 minutes. Time to recheck.” Whenever she had to deal with these kids of things, she noticed his voice always took on a softer tone. It made her heart melt to see the big bad CIA agent be so kind and gentle with her. For him to show his love for her in this way. Because that’s what it was. A show of true and utter love.
He abides by every rule perfectly to make sure she gets the best care. He never gets angry or frustrated with her when she doesn’t quite feel like caring. And he never, ever, makes it out to be her fault. She hates it when others say it, but she truly believes he understands what she goes through.
When their relationship first got into its serious phase, she would notice books he had checked out at the library regarding diabetes care. She also took notice of the various notes sticking out of the books. She thinks that’s when she knew he was the one.
She pushed herself into a sitting position and reached over for the meter. Pricking her finger once again, the number read 98. Not quite high enough for a bedtime number but it was close enough. He leaned over towards her to read the number.
“Perfect. Here’s your sandwich. I made sure it had extra peanut butter.” He smiled down at her and she just let out a little chuckle and dug in.
She finally finished and made sure everything was down. The pair snuggled back into bed, her back against his chest and his arm around her.
“I love you Russ.” She yawned out.
“Love you too.”
———————————
Disclaimer: I know diabetes treatment was a lot different in the 80s, but for the sake of an easier story, I just stuck with modern technology. Also, not every diabetic treats their lows with a juice box and half of a peanut butter sandwich, but I do and it’s approved by my dr. This is a depiction of type one diabetes, not to exclude types 2s, but I’m type 1 and this is definitely a self insert. I ask, please don’t go around spreading misinformation. T1D is not caused by eating unhealthily or excess weight, it just happens. Anyways, had fun writing those and hope y’all enjoy!

All medical crisis aren’t visible. Those that know me can hear and see the difference in my speed. But some of us still look great during our poor health flares. Instead of judging someone for looking well while stating that they are ill, how about we thank God that they aren’t laid up and looking like a leper. Because last week, I was looking like it, feeling like it, and fearful of the outcome of my scare and I’m so grateful to be out, and about and looking like myself again. I’m also less stressed even though getting up and getting dressed is a daunting task for me these days. It takes a lot for me to put clothes on and leave the house. I’m super slow motion. I’m not back to 100%, by far, but definitely feeling better. Thank you everyone for your prayers. I am trying to remain laser focused on health and prepare for a double surgery in 6days. 😱 So please, still no talk of business. I’m not mentally ready for that yet. #DownButNotOut #photodump #selfies #t1d #t1dlookslikeme #t1dawareness #diabeticchick #blackdiabetic #health #healthjourney #myhealthjourney #blackgirlmagic #healthiswealth #chronicillnessawareness #minovet @simplyminovet https://www.instagram.com/p/CS-wqGkN27y/?utm_medium=tumblr

What’s a Dexcom?
On August 10th, when our pediatrician came back into the examination room, a bit in shock, I think, the one thing she said that was possibly reassuring was, “this would have been a very different conversation ten years ago.”
At the time, I didn’t know why. But I shared that with Abdul as soon as I saw him. Hope, maybe. Maybe diabetes wasn’t as bad anymore. Maybe it would be okay.
Diabetes is still bad. It is still incredibly labor intensive.
It’s interesting because, in some ways, it’s entirely invisible. If you saw our family, while we were at the beach this past week, you would have no idea that Jari is newly diagnosed and battling a lifelong autoimmune condition that requires hundreds if not thousands of decisions each day. You would just see a happy little boy playing with his sister.
In fact, on Friday, there was a family nearby us on the beach with a little girl. She was four. The mom came over to me as Zahra and Jari ran shrieking before throwing themselves, full force, into the waves. She was sweet, also from DC. She asked how old my kids were. I told her they were nine and seven. She replied, with admiration, “Wow, they’re fearless.”
Indeed.
But there’s so much you don’t see. You don’t see that we wake up multiple times a night to confirm his blood sugars. That a family that once was pretty spontaneous now has to plan a lot of things in advance. That that bag I have next to me includes a meter and insulin pens and a lifesaving nasal spray should Jari’s blood sugars ever drop quickly and dangerously low. It includes glucose tablets and chocolate milks and apple juices and peanut butter crackers and protein bars. Not as random snacks, but as medicine. You don’t see that that belt Jari has on whenever he’s running around contains his phone.
Yes, my 7yo has an iPhone SE.
Once upon a time, blood sugars were checked by a prick of a finger. You smeared blood on a testing strip attached to a meter and watched the reading pop up. This had to be done several times a day and several times a night.
For the first few weeks after Jari was diagnosed, we set alarms for midnight, 2am, and 4am to make sure his blood sugars didn’t drop while he slept. We had to call him out of the waves every 20 minutes to wipe off his wrinkly finger and prick it. We had to pull him out of soccer practice.
In the beginning, I was scared of the Dexcom. The Dexcom is a Continuous Glucose Monitor, a CGM, a small device that Jari now wears on his upper arm that sends his blood sugar reading to a “receiver” and his cell phone. I was afraid it would come off in the ocean. I was afraid it would give lots of false readings. I was afraid of having continuous access to his blood sugar readings. I pushed back on getting one in the hospital and then before that first trip to the beach.
But our diabetes nurse educator pushed back and a few days after coming home from the beach at the end of August, she showed us how to put the Dexcom on Jari via Zoom. It’s pretty easy. And so, on it went.
We also learned how to connect it to Jari’s phone so that his phone gets constant immediate readings and then how to set up our own phones to “follow” him. Our phones are on a short delay. But basically wherever Jari is, as long as his phone is within 10-20 feet of him, our phones will pick up his blood sugars. Sadly, the technology doesn’t work with watches yet. So Jari needs to keep his phone near him all the time. Someday we hope it will work with an Apple Watch. Or that someday an Apple Watch will be it’s own CGM, that day is absolutely coming.
What does having the Dexcom mean in reality? It means that instead of seeing Jari’s blood sugars before meals and during activities and a few times a night, we see them all the time. We see the ups and downs, the coveted straight lines, all of it. It’s a lot of information to have but… it’s part of why our doctor told us things were so different now.
The “success” in diabetes has always been measured by your A1C number, which is a measure of your blood sugars over the past three months. It’s an average determined by a blood test. However, averages can be misleading. You can have a lot of highs and a lot of lows and still have a great average. Before CGMs, you just didn’t know what your blood sugars were most of the time. You crossed your fingers and felt reassured by the fingerpricks you did.
Now, you can see each spike. We see that breakfast impacts him differently than lunch and dinner. We can see what happens when he plays soccer – he often holds steady and drops after. We can watch as his blood sugars start to drop and ensure he has a snack before he ever goes low. We can watch as his blood sugars rise and suggest a physical activity.
It’s not perfect, but… it’s good information. It’s information that may, hopefully, change the life expectancies of people with this condition and the consequences. You can make more informed decisions. Information is important. And this information is vital. It’s unimaginable to me that it didn’t exist for most people a decade ago.
Now, at night, we have a low alarm set. When Jari’s sugars hit that level, all the phones in our room start beeping and we can wake him up and suggest a few sips of chocolate milk. If he continues going down (which usually doesn’t happen right now because we’re still in the early stages) we can give him glucose or juice.
We are incredibly grateful to have the technology and access to it that we have. That, additionally, Jari’s insulin comes from a pen with a tiny needle he rarely feels versus a syringe. That his meal-time insulin has a little screen on the end of the pen to confirm how much insulin we just gave.
Jari’s blood sugar “target range” is 70-180. That means, as long as his blood sugars are in that range, he’s “winning” diabetes. We’re not so sure. 180 is very high, much much higher than a nondiabetic would ever see if they pricked themselves. But that’s a topic for another day. But with the advent of the Dexcom, “success” is now measured by Time in Range. The amount of time your Dexcom app says you’re in range.
Is the Dexcom perfect? Nope. Can it be wrong? Yes. Has it been wrong? It was wrong this morning. All of sudden, out of nowhere, Jari was 188 with two double arrows up.
In addition to a number, the Dexcom has arrows to tell you the direction in which your blood glucose is going. A straight arrow out means it’s moving probably no more than ten points in either direction, there are tilted arrows indicating it’s going up or down, straight arrows up and down, and the infamous double arrows up or down.
We were shocked this morning to see that number and the arrows. That’s way higher than Jari normally goes after breakfast, he’s usually not out of range or that close and never with double arrows. We didn’t know what was going on. But we know everyone says, just because things worked yesterday doesn’t mean they won’t spiral completely out of control today. He started jumping like crazy on the trampoline, but I pulled him off for a finger prick. His number didn’t make sense.
The fingerprick was 142. A more normal breakfast spike.
So why was the Dexcom so wrong? The Dexcom has a little piece that’s the “transmitter” that clips in and out of something called the sensor. The transmitter is only replaced every three months but the sensor, which has an adhesive with a tiny needle behind it, and sticks to Jari’s arm, is replaced every ten days. This crazy reading came two hours before we were due to replace the sensor.
Maybe it just got tired? Maybe it wasn’t working anymore. Maybe a week of super rough play in the ocean was too much for it to hang on that last hour? I don’t know. It happens and you just have to accept it. Most of the time the Dexcom is fairly accurate. And it’s an amazing tool we’re grateful for. Way less fingerpricks. More time to play! And more opportunities to work to keep Jari’s numbers in control so he can grow up without the complications that plagued previous generations of Type 1 Diabetics. While a cure seems too far off to hope for, technology will continue to get better. It will make this condition more manageable for Jari and the kids who come after him.
A quick sidenote: There may not be many kids after Jari. This is what makes me want to rage and scream so much of the time. There are medications with completed trials that can stave off diabetes in at risk children and adults for years, that can ensure kids like Jari who are newly diagnosed can continue to live in this much easier and safer “honeymoon” period for years. Maybe, ultimately, indefinitely. There are also existing trials, going on right now… but you have to be eight. And Jari’s seven. So, he’s in a tough spot. If we can somehow prolong his honeymoon, maybe, maybe the science will catch up. The FDA will approve the medicine and Jari can live a more normal life. But… there’s a slim chance of that happening in the timeline we need. His honeymoon could literally end at anytime. The reality is, Jari’s may be one of the last generations of young kids to have to grow up quickly with diabetes. We’re so close. Just not quite close enough for him.

Hey, how many canon T1 diabetic characters do you know about?
I kinda wanted to challenge myself to make a character in art everyday with visual equitment, symbols maybe, and anything else I can think of.
That sounds like a great idea! Let me know how it goes please :D
So here are the ones I know from media I have personally read/watched:
Alec Holland from Swamp Thing: Twin Branches by Maggie Stiefvater, a DC comic book. Specified as T1D.
Blue Broen from The Truth According to Blue by Eve Yohalem, a middle grade adventure novel. (I'm only a few pages in but T1D seems well done.)
Brian (and Rufus) from Rufus Comes Home by Kim Gosselin, a children's book featuring Rufus the Diabetic Bear! (I still have mine on a shelf--along with Ruby! Although I renamed her Rosetta :P put pods on 'em and everything.)
Cassie Salazar from Purple Hearts, a 2022 Netflix Original AND a romance novel by Tess Wakefield (which I have NOT read). Specified as T1D.
Hansel (played by Jeremy Renner) from the movie Hansel & Gretel: Witchhunters. He has an inaccurate, anachronistic form of diabetes referred to as ‘sugar sickness’ but it’s one of my favorite movies. Besides, the movie also has an automatic machine arrow-gun. Realistic it is not. Fun monster movie, it is. I want to write a medical fix-it fic SO bad but I don't know when.
Mackenzie Nolan from Let Me List the Ways by Sarah White, a YA contemporary romance. Specified as T1D.
Sal Vidon from Sal and Gabi Break the Universe by Carlos Hernandez, a Rick Riordan presents novel. Specified as T1D.
Stevie Hart from Lucky Few by Kathryn Ormsbee, a YA contemporary novel. Specified as T1D (but not until over 100 pages in :/ sorry I got personal beef with the book's rep but I saw a few people who liked it so... GREAT homeschooling rep tho)
Ones I have been reliably informed have T1D (or, you know, as close as we get) but have not personally read/watched:
Ezekiel from Agnes at the End of the World, a YA cult/post-apoc novel by Kelly McWilliams. Not sure if it's specified.
Captain Lantus from The Adventures of Captain Lantus, a children's book. Specified as T1D.
Kyle Broflovski and Scott Malkinson from the show South Park. I don't believe it's specified, and from what I've heard, SP makes fun of literally everything, but I know they've got a lot of fanfic in the ao3 diabetes tag!
Lucy Szabo from Sweetblood, a YA novel by Pete Hautman. Not sure if it's specified.
Dare Chase from The Girls Are Never Gone by Sarah Glenn Marsh, a YA horror fantasy novel. Not sure if it's specified.
Stacey Frick and one unnamed girl from Pixar's Turning Red movie. Both wear visible insulin pumps.
Stacey McGill from The Baby-Sitters Club, a middle grade series by Anne M Martin and a Netflix Original show. Specified as T1D.
Scott from Zebrafish by Sharon Emerson, a middle grade book. Not sure if it's specified.
Diabetes in Fiction is definitely worth a look. Their website sorts by both T1D or T2D and also by genre.
There are more lists here, but I haven't been able to verify them in any way yet:
a brief list and review of movies with T1D from DBL-diabetes
a brief list and review of shows with T1D from DBL-diabetes
An article from Healthline talking rep from both movies and shows
a rec list of kids books with T1D from the T1D Living blog
A list of children's books with T1D made by Disney and Lilly
A Goodreads list Romance Novels with Main Characters who have Diabetes
Another Goodreads list Fiction Books with Type 1 Diabetes
Yet another Goodreads list YA Books Featuring Type One Diabetes
Someone's pretty comprehensive Goodreads shelf of books that are supposed to have T1D
And another, smaller Goodreads shelf of T1D in Fiction
This was...probably way more than you need for your project, but I hope you find plenty of inspiration! (And new faves :D) I'm so excited to see what you come up with!
#canon diabetic character#type 1 diabetes#type 1 diabetes in fandom#t1diabetes#t1dawareness#t1d in fiction#characters with type 1 diabetes#they're out there#they're just hard to find#and quality is obviously mixed#this is definitely a feature list not a rec list

Feels great and makes me happy when levels are in range when throughout the day was high. Accepting that some days are gonna be harder than other days, but what counts is watching out for those high levels and taking my medication to stay in range level. 🧡🧡

I gave myself an insulin shot on the leg as I usually do in the morning. I don't know why this is still hurting. There was no bleeding after it. I'm sure I didn't hit a vessel, nor the muscle. So, why the hell?

👋 Well, I thought it was time to say hello here - as you may know, I never post pictures of myself! I've always been a rebel 😎 So, I was diagnosed 24 years ago (almost 25) when I was 14 years old. By the way, I had a motorcycle accident which lead to my diagnosis after one week spent at my local hospital 🏥 I'm extremely lucky and I recently got my second insulin pump (#medtronic670g). I have been using #freestylelibre sensors for almost six years now which means I have spent many hours with the customer service (specifically the first two years). I've tried to do a DIY loop and I've failed - I will get there soon... I have used almost all the pens, insulins and blood glucose monitors in my reach. After many years, I discovered that a low carb diet is the best for me. That means, goodbye to rice, pasta, pizza and all those delicious dishes which sometimes I crave with all my heart (gnocchi!!). My frozen shoulder is killing me since the beginning of this year and I have not been able to exercise - impacting my blood sugars badly. I was a sweetener junkie. I have a master of fine arts and a BA in graphic design. Coffee drinking, cheese eater who likes plants. I love painting 🎨 I can also be found reading about diabetes tech and medical aesthetics. I'm very interested in screens and interfaces (yes, I would like to design the interface of an insulin pump!). Diabetes NGO day worker and when the moon comes out I become @thediabeticsurivor. I believe good design can help us all with diabetes to have better lives. You can find me on social media commenting visually about a wide range of topics around diabetes, doing fundraisers and quirky diabetic artworks! 😋 #t1dlookslikeme #diabetestype1 #diabetestipo1#t1dawareness #diabetestype1 #diabeteslife #chronicillness #type1diabetes #diabetes #t1d #diabetic #type1diabetic #diabadass #diabeast #insulinpump #insulin #diabetesawarenessmonth #diabetesmanagement #diabetesart #type1warrior #diabadass #diabetesaccesories https://www.instagram.com/p/CV5bEfVMkla/?utm_medium=tumblr
