I took this photo last week, July 3rd 2019... the 5 year anniversary date of Graham’s T1D diagnosis. every year it comes around, and it’s always an emotionally overwhelming day for me. and I never know what to say or feel. and I usually just skip over it. but 5 years felt like a huge milestone. and we acknowledged the day, and gave Graham all the love. ❤️ I’m proud of him, proud of us. and these smiling faces are everything. #T1D #t1dgbear
Type 1 Thursday

Decided that every Thursday I will post a short little video with something diabetes related. Today was day 10 of my old dexcom so time for a site change(thank God because the old sensor caused me so many problems♀️)

This site hurt a little bit and there was quite a bit of bleeding but hey.....bleeders are readers right? Hopefully the next 10 days are successful with this fresh site!
I just read this post from @diabethics that I found very inspiring⭐️ Have a great day! 3 more days left of my language course in Germany

✨ Today 97 year ago 5y old Teddy Ryder arrived to Toronto, and became one of the twelve first people in the world to receive insulin. Teddy had been diagnosed with autoimmune diabetes and treated with one of few "methods" at the time, starvation diet. Before the isolation of insulin, autoimmune diabetes was an absolute death sentence, no one survived. At the left pic taken before Teddy arrived to Toronto he was about to die. The pic to the right is after insulin therapy when he had doubled his weight, and wrote a letter to Banting, pic 2. In July 1992 at the age of 75, Teddy became longest-living user of insulin with 70 years. He passed away the year after. The "discovery" of insulin is still considered as one of the major breakthroughs within medicine ever and has saved millions of lives of people with diabetes. Banting and John Macleod received 1923 Nobel Prize in medicine which they shared with Charles Best and James Collip. Almost 100y after a huge leap it's time for next, the cure. Research needs funding. ⭐️
#tbt a month ago on holiday in Italy and missing the warm weather ... one thing I am so proud of myself for is finally getting my #tat1d tattoo to not only give me a built in medical ID but also to show that I am proud to be a badass type 1 diabetic ... that has taken a lot of years to finally be said and I thank all my fellow warriors for giving me courage and inspiration to do this..... put a few more Italy pics on too cuz I am missing Italy

LET’S CELEBRATE: the hero that you are
The hero isn’t the person who’s gotten from A-Z, who’s lost weight, has a perfect A1C, achieved a goal...
✨The hero is the person who wakes up not feeling like their best self and decides to do the work.
✨The hero is the person who does the work even when they don’t feel like it.
✨The hero is the person who doesn’t know wtf their doing, but does it anyways.
Celebrate yourself for the hero that you are + drop some “” below so I can celebrate with you
You mean you’re NOT supposed to unbutton the top of your jumpsuit in public?!

Finding creative spots to hide my pump in various outfits is one of my secret talents. However, one thing I have learned is that if I hide it in an inaccessible/inconvenient spot, I’m less likely to keep tabs on my shoogs and it’s MUCH easier for me to forget to bolus...

Cue: my new favorite, bolus-friendly outfit! ♀️

And yes, these garlic sweet potato fries really were as delicious as they look

Sometimes I feel at a disadvantage. It’s hard to manage the endocrine function of my pancreas.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes, I feel like my body failed me. But most times, I don’t let it get to me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Other times, I do.
I could let today be one of those times. One of the times where I’m strong, where I’m powerful and courageous, where I’m the bright light for someone else. But that’s not the case this time.
Today, I acknowledge that I have been *so* strong for *so* long and it’s okay to let go and feel. It’s okay to be sad. To be vulnerable. It shows I’m human.
The scariest part is the weight that I feel. It’s the pressure that I feel. The pressure I put on myself to be perfect with my blood sugars, because if I don’t so many things can go wrong. I want to aim for perfection. I don’t want to settle for anything less.
But perfection is where most of us get into trouble. There is no perfect, there is only persistence and learning.
So what’s the best thing that I can do? Change my lifestyle.
I want to resist it, because it’s not fair that I‘ve been given this responsibility.
I don’t want to do it. I want to eat whatever I want. I want to drink without worry. I want to run without fear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I accept this reality. And I deserve to live a long and healthy life. So I’ll do this. Why? For myself. Because I’m worth it.
