What your doctor doesn’t tell you when you’re diagnosed with diabetes: 1. There’ll be nights when you stay up crying because you can’t get your blood sugar down. 2. There’ll be nights when you wake up so disoriented you don’t know where you are because your blood sugar dropped that low. 3. Trying to not let it interfere with your school and work life is impossible. 4. There’ll be times when you’re so frustrated you’ll just want to tear everything related to the disease off your body and throw it as far away as you can. 5. You’ll always be scared.

My previous insulin pump, a blue OneTouch Ping, costs $6,500+ new. If any diabetics out there would like a (like new) insulin pump and meter-remote for LESS than 6 grand, let me know! I also have a cute pink case for the pump :) Message me for more info and pictures of my pump and accessories! ~~~ please like and share! (I’m also a broke college kid, not just a diabetic! ha :) )

If your numbers were nice today, good job ! If they were terrible, that’s okay. I hope tomorrow will be better (: Count those carbs, drink water, and keep up with your shots and ish

Me: I'm not feeling too well.

Person: Stay away from me!!! I can't get sick!!

Me: It's not contagious. It's just who I am as a person.
