Life of A Diabetic Runner

Everyday events, thoughts, and rantings of a diabetic college girl and her running.

The various things that Jareth does with the crystal balls (rolling them around his arms and in his hands and so forth) are not camera tricks or any other kind of special effect. They are actually done by choreographer Michael Moschen, who is an accomplished juggler. Moschen was actually crouched behind Bowie with his arm(s) replacing Bowie’s. Unlike a typical Muppet performance, however, he had no video screen to view his performance. In other words, his manipulations were performed completely blind.─ IMDB Trivia DAVID BOWIE as “Jareth, King of The Goblins” in Labyrinth (1986)  MICHAEL MOSCHEN ─ Choreographed and performed with crystal balls as David Bowie’s hands

Hey Tumblrbetics! Reblog this if it's okay to send you a "diagnosis questionaire".

I’m writing a story involving diabetes, but I don’t know really how to put the character’s diagnosis into the story (mostly because I was too young and don’t remember my own diagnosis).

I will be sending between 5-10 (closer to 5) questions to your inbox asking about your own diagnosis. If your inbox isn’t open on your page but you would like to help, message me first and we’ll go from there.

None of this information will be shared with the public; it is strictly confidential and stays between you and I.

My high and low blood sugar readings are not a measure of my self-worth.

I am greater than my highs and lows.

Another day, another run! Getting back into it because I've been so lazy lately and slacking off on running.

[lifeofadiabeticrunner]

Started the morning with an actually ok blood sugar, and a short run! I'm actually trying to get back into a running schedule, so almost 3.5 miles is really great for me right now! Have a great day!

My life as a diabetic.

Get out and run. Do not worry about the rest. Make running a lifestyle. A daily habit, like brushing your teeth. If you run 300+ days a year, every year, for several years, good things will come your way. Start now. Doesn’t matter if you are 16 years old or 66. If you want to be a decent runner you must get out and run; the rest is just noise. Get the running in first— that is the foundation. Then: Eat mostly good stuff. Get enough sleep. Stretch if you want to— or don’t. Lift if you like lifting. Cross-train if it makes you happy. Wear minimalist shoes or big bulky ones, whichever you prefer. Listen to music when you run, or not. You can carry water with you on a long run, or you can go without. If you want to do a core routine, then do it— but first you must get out and run. Run on trails, or streets, or on a treadmill, whatever works for you. Run slowly. Run quickly. Run up hills. Run in the rain. Run in the snow, the heat, the cold. Run into the wind. Run on the days that you do not feel like running. Run on the days that you can’t wait to get out and run. Run with friends. Run alone. Run races. Run in the country. Run in the city. Run in parks. Run when you feel happy. Run when you are depressed. Run when you have a ton of energy. Run when you are feeling like shit. Run when you feel good. Run in the morning. Run at night. Run before work. Run after work. Run.

Chronic illness is exhausting and annoying. It can feel depressing. It can feel isolating. It can feel debilitating and overwhelming in its endlessness. But hello, goddamn, I’m alive.

The hardest part of the run isn’t the last few miles, it’s when the alarm goes off and you have to remember why you set that alarm and why you want this. Get up. Shoes on. Run.
