What Diabetes Is

Ever since the unicorn frappucino was released, I’ve seen an uptick in “diabeetus” jokes. I’ve also seen people posting pictures of candy and cake and saying “Look at my diabeetus ha ha ha,” as if diabetes is some type of joke.

Diabetes is not a frappucino. There is no such thing as “diabetes on a plate” or “diabetes in a cup.” Let me tell you what diabetes actually is.

Diabetes is a small child dying of ketoacidosis because the doctor in the ER thought that child had the flu.

Diabetes is parents who can’t sleep through the night because they have to get up and check their child’s blood sugar during the night to make sure their child hasn’t gone into insulin shock or diabetic coma.

Diabetes is waking up in the middle of the floor covered in bruises and rug burn because you fell asleep after taking insulin but before eating the food that you took the insulin for, and your blood sugar crashed, causing you to fall off the couch and have a seizure.

Diabetes is having to decide whether there is enough insulin to last until you get paid or whether you will skip a meal or two so that you can take less insulin and save money on groceries.

Diabetes is not getting enough sleep because your blood sugar was too high, meaning that you got out of bed to go to the bathroom multiple times, or too low, meaning that you got out of bed to treat the low and then stayed awake to be sure it didn’t go low again.

Diabetes is going to a trendy eating place and discovering they don’t serve diet drinks because “aspartame is poison” and having them tell you to drink orange juice instead.

Diabetes is finding out that your kidneys or eyesight or digestive system or circulation is failing after you’ve lived with the disease for decades.

Diabetes is having people say “So lose weight and it will go away” or “Your kid got that because you fed them too much sugar”.

Diabetes is living every day with a disease that you know could shorten your lifespan while politicians blame people who have your disease for costing the health care system money, as if it’s your fault your immune system decided to attack you.

CALLING TYPE 1 DIABETES COMMUNITY

Hey there fellow type 1 diabetics/people with diabetes!! I’m starting a podcast (eek!) and I need your help!

The podcast is going to be called “Confessions of a Diabetic”, fitting, right? I’ve always wanted to start a podcast and what better time than now?? #quarantinelife

I want the podcast to be centered around type 1 diabetes 90% of the time and the other 10% filled with type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, other chronic illnesses etc. My dream is for this to be a conversation style podcast, I don’t want to be talking AT you, but WITH you. In order to kick off the podcast, I need some content for the first few episodes. This is where you come in!

Do you have a diabetes related question you always wanted answered?

Do you have a confession regarding your diabetes?

Are there specific topics you want to talk about and learn about?

Do you have a story related to your type 1?

Send me any or all of your questions, topics, confessions, etc! Simply message me on tumblr, reply to this post, or email me! [email protected]. I also launched an instagram (no content yet), and the username is, you guessed it, confessionsofadiabetic. Of course I will give you credit for your submission but if you want to remain anonymous, simply let me know in your response.

I have BIG aspirations for this podcast and I’m super excited to get this thing going!!! Please reblog to get this message out!

I just want her to love me the way I love her

But you can’t change people, you can only love them. And you can love someone hard but not hard enough to get them to love you back the way you deserve.
