Type One Diabetes - Tumblr Posts
Low blood sugar is kind of funny to think about sometimes, it’s almost like a curse. You get to ignore your chronic illness for a little bit and eat without worrying about insulin or carbs. But at the same time your body is slowly shutting down, your brain is starving and you are in a confused, sweaty daze. So while you are enjoying a small moment without the stress of diabetes, you are also actively dying.
Kind of a weird way to look at it I guess

I don't know if it's just me but I find nostalgia in most of my needs ,
My pen its similar to the little bottle and syringe I used to cry over and grew into being able to us it myself
My hearing aids , they are colorful and beautiful and reflect my personality soooooo much
My glasses are a way to see the word for as long as it will let me
So no hate on the new ways to handle the needs but the nostalgia helps make my situation lovable or normal
