Diabetes Awareness Month (Patreon)

Hey all! So November is officially Diabetes awareness month. I’ll be honest, before this year, I didn’t know a thing about diabetes besides knowing people who have it need to limit the amount of sugar they can eat. However, after being suddenly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes earlier this year and almost dying from the complications, I now know it’s so much more than that. I’ve tried to educate myself as much as I can about the disease and how it impacts me, and millions of others, every single day.

Truly, every day is a struggle — the constant checking of blood sugar levels, the anxiety of insulin supplies, and the hopelessness that comes with the thought you’ve lost control over your life and being at the mercy of the disease. Thankfully, there’s been huge advancements in medicine that has helped increase the quality of life those that suffer with diabetes. I encourage everyone who is interested to take the time to learn more about the differences of T1D and T2D, and learn how you can detect the early warning signs of the disease. 🫶 Stay healthy.
