Diabetes Management: Expectations vs. Reality

A metaphor about how managing diabetes isn't easy 

When diabetes kicks you in the face and says, “NOT TODAY!” 😣 That moment when your CGM falls off even with extra adhesive. When your pump stops working in the middle of the night and your BG skyrockets above 400mg/dL (22.2 mmol/L). 📈 When you expect a good A1c number, but your Endocrinologist tells you something way higher. 😤 The days (even weeks) your BG won’t come down with any amount of insulin. 💉 We’ve all been there. 🙋🏼‍♀️ You’re not alone! 👊🏻 Keep fighting - tomorrow is a new day! 🌅

My T1D Diagnosis Story | Going into DKA

I recently celebrated my 3rd "Diaversary" and shared my diagnosis on my Instagram stories. The amount of feedback I received was overwhelming. My DMs were full of so many people connecting with my story and becoming emotional as I did in the video. I edited together the IG stories into a YouTube video so others can easily find it.
