My Diabetic Heart

It’s the last day of Diabetes Awareness Month. I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the #MakeDiabetesVisible Photo Challenge and awareness campaign. It has really warmed my heart watching this idea grow over the last 30 days. Thank you all for sharing your diabetes life with the world. The good, the bad, and the completely ridiculous. Lots of love!

Stay tuned for a recap of the campaign and related shenanigans in the coming days.

The Diabetes Online Community is vast, bringing together people from all walks of life from all around the world. I’m quite thankful to have been able to meet so many, both online and in person, over the last 9 years. My life has been enriched by your presence in it.  Thank you and lots of love!

More members of my diabetes tribe.  Much love for all of them.

Continuing yesterday’s theme of people who make life with diabetes suck less.

Diabetes sucks. No doubt about it. But the friends I’ve made along the way have certainly made it suck less. These are just a few, there are so many more. I’m thankful for all of you. 💙 #MakeDiabetesVisible— with Bea Sparks, Sue Rericha, Christel Marchand Aprigliano, Asha Brown and Scott Johnson.

The mini version of my diabetes kit that goes everywhere with me. Meter, test strips, lancing device, glucose tabs, humalog pen, and pen needles. All fit into that little pouch. And, of course, my Dexcom.

A no-hitter on a holiday weekend in Kentucky with the family? I’ll take it!

Some times the numbers on the meter and CGM are close. Other times not so much.

The last 24 hours have been pretty rough.
