#type 1 diabetic

[crippledpunks]

i love you so much if you are diabetic, or pre-diabetic. our society treats diabetes so poorly. it's such a readily mocked condition, people often times resort to blaming the individual for having it, even going so far as to pass judgment on the diabetic's character, regardless of what type of diabetes they have.

diabetics are wonderful and deserve to love themselves regardless of whether or not they 'gave' themselves their diabetes. whether or not the person is "unhealthy" whether or not the person eats "right" or knows how to eat in ways that are safer for their body doesn't matter, they still deserve love, respect, and compassion.

diabetes is not a fucking judge of character. diabetics deserve better. diabetics deserve respect. diabetics deserve to be recognized as disabled. diabetics deserve kindness, love, care, compassion, and support. no matter what.

diabetic nutrition is: avoid carbs :)) but also dont :) use healthy fat :))) but also don't because it makes your BG unpredictable :) eat protein :) but have some carbs otherwise it raises your BG :))) watch out for spikes after breakfast :)) but also you need to eat breakfast with carbs or your liver gets angy :) and floods you with sugar :))))))

#b4 anyone gets angry i know it's all in moderation but it's overwhelming ok 👍 #actually diabetic #diabetes #type 1 diabetic #type 1 diabetes #t1d #type 2 diabetes

I cant believe I always forget this but November is national diabetes awareness month! 6 years has been crazy and it’s been hard, cuz you feel like you’re alone, but you’re not! I’ve met some amazing people at diabetes camp and I’ve even decided to work towards a career in diabetes education! Just know if any of y’all are dealing with this disease, you’re not alone! And even tho type 1 is permanent, you can still live a perfectly normal life if you keep a good eye on it! It’s not easy, but people are there to help you through it!

May we all conquer this together!

#diabetes #type 1 diabetic #type 1 diabetes #national diabetes awareness month #I’m still struggling but I feel less alone about it #if anyone just wants to talk to me about it feel free! #just try not to vent too much #btw I use the Dexcom g6 and the omnipod 5 #the omnipod is wireless

You know what we need @fiery-red-kryptonite? We need a diabetic convention.

A few days long where diabetics of all ages could all get together and just talk, share things. both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. I know where I live there were diabetes camps but like…those were for kids and that’s great but so many people who are older need the support.

Because honestly no one understands a diabetic like another diabetic, doctors don’t get me the way you do. Other friends may try to help (and they do an amazing job when I need them to help) but I can just message you and go “holy shit the low I had today” and you understand and share what helps you. I can say “my lord the dream I had today” and you respond with “how was your blood sugar?”.

Plus I know way too many type 2 diabetics who are sorely uneducated on type 1 diabetes and I feel like they would learn better in an open, friendly environment rather than a doctors office where the doctor might not even fully know.

New diabetics who are scared and worried being able to talk face to face with elder diabetics who’ve been dealing with this Illness for most of their lives and hearing from some who knows first hand how they handle it. Being able to go back to their doctors with informed ideas on how to better manage their diabetes.

Panels set up by diabetics for diabetics (and their families because let’s be honest families need more education than they get too)

Little sales booths where diabetics can sell little trinkets to decorate pump or pen pouches. Little bears to help little kids with diabetes brave the injections (I had one his name was poke, he was my second favourite bear)

Just something for diabetics to get together in person and be able to share. Make connections with each other and finally feel a little bit less alone.

I don’t know this idea struck me while I was changing my sensor and I felt like a post that other diabetics may see and share etc would be nice……at least we can have a diabetic Tumblr group or something 😂

Edit: the post has been reblogged and liked a few times so I went ahead and made a discord so diabetics can connect in some way at the very least. The invite shouldn’t expire but if it does please let me know and I’ll put a new one or invite you personally.

as a t1 diabetic, every time i eat something i dont particularly like to prevent my blood sugar from dropping, i feel like im in mother nature foraging for whatever foods are available to survive

When most people say "That has so many carbs!" It's toxic diet culture

When I say "That has so many carbs!" I am complaining about the fact that I'll have to spend so much insulin and I don't want it to run out so fast

My favorite brand of diabetic tumblr is when someone is posting low blood sugar memes while they’re clearly fighting for their life

Trigger warning: death mention

Diabetes is much scarier when you also have anxiety.

Hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia episodes are much worse, I fear for my life, feel like I'm about to die. It's such a scary experience.

I'm basically fighting for my life everyday.

(I'm still alive and kicking, no worries. Just venting over here.)

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, everyone.

I really hate to do this, but I really need this help rn. I'm a type 1 diabetic, meaning I depend on taking my insulin shots everyday to be alive. I really need $50 to buy my insulin this month.

This is the insulin I need:

So, if you can help me, I'll appreciate it very much. Thank you ❤️

sometimes I look at new diabetes advancements and how quickly they're coming and actually working good, it feels like we're close to a cure and, like an idiot, I have hope, maybe I could eat and drink whatever and not have to worry about anything. I don't remember a time before it but I've spent nearly my whole life daydreaming about what I would do after I was cured. I knew it wasn't going to happen but I hope i can survive until I can live. I'm about to cry from stress seeing a new pump that does basically everything for you

So it’s been 4 million years since I last posted but I’m so hyped about the Barbie movie I had to make myself as a T1D Barbie!
