Sweet.

Hi! My name is Max and I have type 1 diabetes. It's been 4 years so far. Using an Omnipod pump and a Freestyle Libre. Feel free to ask me anything!

My personal take on this meme

[dandelionwyn-o]

Found this (uncredited) on Reddit. I will never relate to why people go out of their way to crop out usernames, but I very much relate to this post.

I’m kept alive by a synthetic liquid.

By the laws of nature I should be dead.

So… that’s fun to think about

Listen. Listen. I am all here for a positive attitude when facing diabetes. I think it’s great if you can stare at a defective part of your body and be like, yeah. I got this. That’s amazing. I’m proud of you.

But I’m also here for people dealing with burnout.

I’m here for the people who don’t want to bleed for meals, who don’t want to be a ‘cyborg’ because of a pump or a ‘dia-badass’. I’m here for the people who are scared of going to the doctors because they don’t want to face their numbers.

I’m here for the people who are just so, so tired of dealing with themselves, but just keep going because they have too. I am so fucking proud of you. I am so, incredibly proud of you.

It’s okay to not be okay with how your body works. I promise it really is okay. This isn’t fun, it’s draining as all hell and it’s okay to admit that.

It sucks sometimes to have positivity shoved down your throat and going through the diabetes tags on tumblr can be a lot like that.

I just wanted to remind people that there is a lot of ugly in being diabetic and sometimes it doesn’t seem like it. No matter what type of you are, I am so proud of you for surviving.

Diabetic dichotomy

*when i feel like drinking* me: don’t tell me what i can and can’t do. don’t judge me, you don’t know anything about my disease. it’s dangerous? ~eye roll~ please. watch me drunk eat a cookie too. hell, maybe some pizza. i’d rather live my life on my terms than let this disease control me

*when i don’t feel like drinking* me: yeah, ya know, i’m diabetic so i really shouldn’t. i mean, it can really screw with my sugars and it’s pretty dangerous, some might even describe it as life threatening… so….

Found this over on Reddit; thought I’d bring it home. Shout out to @liv-abetic one of the first people I followed here.
