Today has been a day. Anyone living with diabetes knows that sometimes you can do everything right but your sugars still go all to hell. Its exhausting. Low sugars feel kind of like being drunk. You get hungry and shaky and it’s hard to form a coherent thought or speak. High sugars are like hangovers. Nausea, excessive thirst, headache. This is just part of living with disease. It’s not always pretty. It’s usually not easy. But it is amazing. Diabetics do this every day while juggling all the stuff of normal life. This October will mark my 27th year of living as a diabetic. We are amazing. We are beautiful. And let’s be real, we are hardcore as fuck.
