Diabetesaliciousness © 2007 – 2023: #NDAM: Thank you for coming to My Diabetes Ted Talk, Day 1
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.
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.
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.
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
