We can’t rage bolus our way out of this one, boys.

Me, an insulin pump haver, when I see a character who has medical tech parts:

[e-i-blindy]

As a type 1 diabetic it is so strange to go on a little walk without my Bag O' Food. I feel naked. There is no familiar weight on my shoulders and i can feel the wind on my back, how strange. It feels dangerous but oh does it feel good to run free. I am an untethered astronaut!

[box-of-nonexistent-meows]

Having type 1 diabetes with an insulin pump is like playing with a Tamagochi but you're the pet

Me: I will not over correct again

Me when the low bloodsugar bad feeling hasn't gone away in five minutes: It's not working I need to eat more sugar

Me later: Why am I 300

[softlydiabetic]

if youre ever going low but think "hmm i'm too lazy to go eat something maybe it'll go away in a couple minutes" dont listen. thats the devil talking

[uh-oh-howd-i-get-here]

Sometimes though… It does fix itself if I close my eyes, wish hard enough, and fall back asleep.

Shh, that's devil talk.

fun things to call your fast acting insulin shot that will sometimes make your mom mad:

• shooting up

• pregaming

• daily dose of dr banting’s juice

• coming down from a high

• doing my bastard son’s work (pancreas)

[imtheiliad]

this illness is hard to take seriously sometimes like “oh i gotta eat these peeps so i don’t die” like what the fuck is that!!?

[elijah-beth]

Fate thought it was pretty funny making me, who hates math, a diabetic

[chaotic-diabetic]

Yesterday I felt thirsty, so I checked my cgm and my blood sugar was fine and I was so confused that I had to double check with my meter.

I then realized that I don’t associate feeling thirstiy with needing water, I associate it with needing insulin.

Diabetes is wild.

non-diabetics will never know the glory and satisfaction of guessing the correct dose for pizza

It turns out that sometimes going into your medical appointments and simply admitting that you’re a complete mess both medically and emotionally is actually the best policy.

Nice blood sugar levels you have here, be a shame if something were to… happen to it.
