OUR TRIABESTIE DAN IS BIKING FOR A CURE

He's doing the Tour de Cure because he's awesome and way more athletic than either one of us. If you have any spare change it would mean the world to ALL of us if you would donate to help support him this awesome cause.

From his page:

I am riding because the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure is so much more than a cycling event to me. It is my opportunity to change the future and make a positive impact in the lives of those who are affected by diabetes, myself included. Chances are, you also know someone who has been affected by diabetes (I have diabetes, so you do know someone affected by diabetes) and you already know how important it is to stop this disease. Lets be honest, it's kinda sucky.  By making a donation on my behalf you will be helping the Association provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes, and fund critical research for a cure. With your help, we will fight for a future where a parent does not have to hear that their child has diabetes. A future where you and I will know that we had a part in making this possible.

The only thing that i’d say you need to correct is on Glucagon. Glucagon is actually a hormone , it’s like the anti-insulin, it does the opposite of insulin. Type 1’s  have an issue where glucagon doesn’t work correctly even though we still make it(yay how fun our pancrea…ses? are broke as shit) , that and the fact we don’t make Amylin (a hormone that works with glucagon to control it and prevent it from going too crazy.) seem to be why if we go low it sometimes doesn’t go well and we go super high when we treat it because our pancreas can’t regulate ANYTHING.

I went into a ramble but basically you could of said that it’s a hormone and anti-insulin. Trust me , it makes sense when hypos are almost always caused by taking too much insulin and it’s like an antidote for that.

This human is right! I didn't say that and I probably should have. Thank you!! :):)

How to Still be Cool as a Diabetic:

-Flick your needles like James Dean.

-Pose when you stab yourself like Marilyn Monroe, bonus points for emitting sexual noises.

-Maintain direct eye contact with people as you inject yourself.

-Tell people that you’re injecting small doses of kryptonite.

-Tell people that you’re injecting yourself with The Antidote and sorry, they can’t have any.

-Wear cool jackets.

-Light your lancets on fire (or maybe not idk I haven’t done it, use caution).

-Jump over a flaming school bus on a motorcycle.

DIABESTIES VLOGGING ADVENTURES

on the roaaaad

I'm going to an endo appointment today AND it's my diabetiversary. Nine years today. Weirddddd. Sad because I can't celebrate with Kerry but still. Anyway I'm vlogging the whole thing which is/will be an adventure? Like filming in public? One time in high school I tweeted "pubic" instead of "public" and it was a major embarrassment. 100% relevant to the plot.
