its the second anniversary of my type 1 diabetes diagnosis.

i know i dont NEED to write these out, who wants to relive bad experiences, right? i like writing these because i can reflect back on the two years ago today when i was in the hospital and see how much i've grown from then.

this happened way before i've gained new friends and followers, many are in the dark of what happened. short story, i was sick and now have a life long condition.

its extremely serious. everyone hears diabetes and goes "its all that sugar". in some cases but not all. well, now i NEED all that sugar to live.

two years ago, the week of halloween, i was extremely sick. i didn't know why. i thought i had gotten COVID at first but i realized it wasn't really a respiratory problem so the next conclusion was the flu.

unbeknownst to myself, my mother, and brother, i was dying for a whole week. my pancreas failed, shut down and i was dying. my bathroom floor would have been where i died if i never went to the hospital. on november 1st, i was told what was happening to me. i was in DKA and needed to go to the ER immediately.

i had no idea what DKA was. for those who don’t know, it stands for diabetic ketoacidosis. i was mostly throwing up, trying to rest (which i hadn't for an entire week/ ended up hallucinating on halloween night after everyone went to bed which i find highly ironic lol), and drinking up as much water i could.

my stay in the hospital was filled with agony, lessened from the medications and insulin they gave me. at that point, i also found out i had air in my chest due to a hole in my esophagus from throwing up constantly and violently. it was scary.

at some point, i knew i was gonna die. i was scared at first. my mom had me shower and i couldn't even move. i couldn't get up. i was so shaky and light (again, ironic since im a fat girl). when i was in the shower, i sobbed and sobbed over the past. my relationship with my father, my friends and my family. i couldn't take it.

when we got to the hospital, i accepted i was gonna die. i was so sure of it. and then i didn't. i survived and i am continuing to survive. no matter how high my blood sugar will spike from eating or when i'm fixing a low, i think back to that week and think about how proud i am.

there are points i want to give up. throw the towel in and throw away my insulin, my CGMS, my pumps, all of it. i want to give up all the time. i want to stop taking insulin and just be normal, like i used to be. now having this condition, i don't want to be normal anymore. it took me a long time to accept my diabetes, it's apart of me now and i've learned it up and down, side to side and in reverse.

no one understands diabetes like someone with diabetes and even then, everyone else's diabetes is different. somedays are bad, somedays are good.

i'm happy to be alive. i'm happy to be online and still making art, listening to new albums, reading comics, making new friends on tumblr and twitter, seeing my oomfs talk about huntress or just their interests in general.

i am SO happy to be here and experience my life past 17. i'm 19 now and got to experience halloween and fall again for the second time without dying. so thats cool :D

thank you for reading and being here along with me on my journey, my friends💜

This might be a long shot, but does anyone else who's on HRT and has diabetes go through a lot of... insulin sensitivity, I guess is the word?

I started my testosterone again last Thursday, and it seems I've been going low at least once a day, and I've been dropping fast. I've been on testosterone for almost a year before that, earlier this year, but I stopped because I was worried it was interfering with another medicine I was taking.

I'm using the Dexcom G6, and the InPen app (thiugh I'm using manual pens currently, and will be using the vial and syringes after that).

So my problems are, roughly:

Going low, and then continuing to drop while I'm eating and insulin is on board, but then once my number comes up, it goes up really fast....

but then, sometimes even if I eat and don't treat, it still goes really high, and that's more stressful to me... any advice would be welcome if you have it :) and I should email my doctor about this

I feel weirdly emotional about my first Dexcom sensor expiring. The little guy's been a literal electronic body part of mine 24/7 for the past three months. I think I'm gonna keep him in my memory box, because he's my first one of presumably dozens.

Got a delivery of g7 stuff instead of my usuall g6. I don’t even have a prescription for g7.

I don’t want a g7 because it doesn’t do the closed loop with omnipod 5, and I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT

It’s been two days now since Ive been trying to call this bullshit supplier company and I’m on hold for fucking hours

for anyone who uses the dexcom g6 system w an apple watch: is the home screen widget finally a normal font size? I’ve been keeping my phone on ios 16 for the past few months since 17’s release since it wasn’t compatible with the g6 app software and now 17.0 is but I want to be sure that major issue w the watch version is fixed before I update my phone
