Type 1 Diabetes - A Daily Challenge

I wonder if there's someone out there who has type 1 diabetes completely figured out? I definitely haven't. Days at a time everything runs smoothly making diabetes seem harmless. On other days, however, I feel like it's totally crushing me. The past couple of days have been tough. My bloodsugar ranged from mid 50s to way past 500mg/dl. No idea why. But somehow I made it through and my numbers have stabilized again.

Take it from me. If you have type 1 diabetes, some days will be hard. But never stop trying. You will get through the tough days and easier days are coming again.

By making diabetes a part of who I am and by just taking it one day at a time handling it has become so much easier and relaxed.

Can you eat sugar?

This question has been something that I have been asked numerous times, even today. Sugar is kind of essential to living whether you have diabetes or not, we all need some sort of sugar. Sugar is energy for the body. Just because I have diabetes doesn't mean I can't enjoy my sweets and trust me when I say I love sweets. I grew up on baking goodies that were super sugary. The trick is proportions and moderation. I know when people ask that they aren’t trying to single you out, but sometimes you can’t stop from feeling that. A lot of people don’t know a number of things about diabetes. For instance, one time in high school a friend tried giving me a chocolate kiss. Now they didn’t know about my diabetes until another friend said so. I took this time to educate them on the fact that it’s ok to have a little bit of something and just not to over do it.

Living with diabetes isn’t easy, but we take it one day, one blood test at a time. Hoping good BGs and a nice day.

"Hey! I didn't sleep yesterday either! And I'm not in a bad mood."

"But did you spend your night shaking and sweating on the floor, fearing for your life? Didn't think so, Karen. Didn't think so."

I’m so excited for this. This is for the beyond type 1 snail mail club.

After the daily afternoon thunderstorm came the reprieve of a cold but beautiful #sunset. Shooting timelapse photography was one of my main goals during the #windriverproject and it was always complicated by very dynamic weather! This was part of a 2 week #climbing expedition to the #windriverrange to explore new routes as an all-T1D team consisting of @blakemccordphoto @peachyspohn and myself. We all had slightly different experiences of the challenge and some close shaves; but it was worth the effort! (Watch the 🎥 linked in my bio) #type1diabetes #beyondtype1 #livebeyond

Happy 11 year Diaversary! I’m proud of you and you inspire me. Thanks for being my diabuddy and helping me out with my highs and lows. You make having diabetes so much better and a little bit fun. It’s been amazing to share the experience of living with type 1 diabetes with each other. I’m glad we get to share test strips, meters, lancets and pump sites. I love you and your uncool pancreas. 😘 #WDYL #beyondtype1 #ihavethesugars #notcoolpancreasnotcool #sweetpee (at BrokenPancreas)
