I just realized I overthink everything in life because I was diagnosed with diabetes at 4 and was trained to overthink everything in order to control my disease.

That’s all…

Am I the only one who makes a wish when my blood sugar is 111?

I’d forgotten how exhausting not having a CGM is. Even if I take out the constant waking up terrified I’m low, the amount of energy I’m spending on constantly checking in with myself is enormous. Ugh. Damn you dexcom

Hey you person living with Type One Diabetes!

Yeah I’m talking to you.

Go fetch your glucometer right now. Unzip that shit. Snag that lil’ lancet device. Yep, grab that sucker.

Now imma ask you to do something pretty strange.

Change the lancet.

Do it.

I know, it’s a foreign task, but I know you can do it!! Your fingertips will thank you!

DO THE THING

This has been a PSA

Please stop “reblog to save a life” on posts about insulin at Walmart. It’s dangerous. It’s not a solution to high insulin prices. People have died after switching because it’s a completely different kind of insulin that behaves in a totally different way from modern insulin. Please think before you repost - if insulin were $25 at Walmart without a prescription, why would it need a prescription and cost $380 anywhere else? BECAUSE NOT ALL INSULIN IS THE SAME.

my body when i’m low: tired. everything is fuzzy. need water and sleep. shitposts. need affection and love.

my body when i’m high: krshsnfjyntkcktnj?! you want water? hunger cues!! carb is so g— i LIED. want to throw up?? your mouth is disgustingly sweet. want to feel sick about wanting carbs? feels like you have a fever???? you need many layers to be warm. no wAIT. you need ice on your bare skin. you should urinate on ketone strips but you’re actually urinating on toilet paper even though you have ketone strips a foot away. cool washcloth AND two light sweaters and fuzzy socks. plz hold me but i will die if anyone touches me. drink water while lying on the floor. everything is too loud including my own music but i don’t have feelings right now. many feelings for other people but idk what a body is

Me, at age 11: if I never mention diabetes, no one will know I have it.

Me, age 29: yeah, so that’s my diagnosis story. Pretty crazy it was so long ago. Did you know that Halle Berry is a diabetic?

Them: Ma'am this is a McDonald’s, and you’ve been in line for twenty minutes.

People who defend the status quo of healthcare in the US are morally insane

[evilwriter37]

Kill capitalism. Especially in the medical field. This should be illegal.

As a type 1 diabetic I can 100% confirm this, and the price is still rising.

Me when I was first diagnosed: okay all my food needs to be in measuring cups with EXACT measurements and I need to know EXACTLY how many carbs are in each item…

Me now: *dumps a bunch of random food on my plate* ayyy this is probably, like, 60g or something…
