Dear People alongside fulling surgical physical care for Pancreases:

Kelly Kunik hither - How goes it?

Yes, the rumors are true, I possess got type 1 diabetes.

I know I don't "look similar I possess got diabetes," but this is what diabetes looks like.

You may non possess got received the memo, but I desire you lot to know that diabetes doesn't possess got a expect or an historic catamenia bracket.

Diabetes doesn't discriminate yesteryear race, sex or economics.

Having diabetes is NOT a choice.

And diabetes is no ones fault.

I didn't educate diabetes because my woman bring upward gave me every bit good much saccharide or lacked inwards the Parenting Skills department, 

and I didn't educate diabetes because I was lazy in addition to ate every bit good many peanut butter cups.

I developed diabetes because I possess got an autoimmune affliction in addition to my trunk attacked the constituent of the pancreas that makes insulin.

Simply put: Insulin converts nutrient into unloose energy in addition to every unmarried somebody on the planet needs insulin to live. You brand yours, I inject mine.

There are many dissimilar types of diabetes - But let's acquire 1 thing straight, regardless of the type - Nobody wants or deserves their diabetes - So lets bust that bullshit diabetes myth, NOW.

Having diabetes doesn't brand me frail or lazy or incompetent.

On the contrary, Because of diabetes I am indeed 32 flavors in addition to and thus some.

And because of diabetes I piece of occupation damn difficult 365 days a twelvemonth alongside no fourth dimension off for vacations or proficient guide inwards fellowship to alive a peachy life.

Having diabetes agency that I am a multi-tasker yesteryear necessity in addition to non yesteryear choice.

Living alongside diabetes agency that I must ever environs myself alongside the tools to accept proficient attention of myself, last it at home, at work, inwards the car, on the beach, a engagement or on vacation.

Living alongside diabetes has made me a Diabetes Savant - And requires me to continually larn most my disease, last technologically savvy, in addition to curlicue alongside the diabetes punches - whether I desire to or not.

Living alongside diabetes agency that I volition run across people who blame me for my broken pancreas in addition to who orbit me that if I simply turn over everything white on my plate, I'd last off the dreaded insulin inwards xxx days.

I possess got tidings for those people- The "dreaded insulin" is my elixir of life - And similar you: I require it to live.

Insulin is non a luxury especial (though you'd think yesteryear it's absorbent price) in addition to taking insulin does non hateful I lack dependent - It simply agency I acquire to alive approximately other day.

So when you lot blame me, or anyone else living alongside diabetes for acquiring their diabetes, last prepared to last schooled. BIG TIME.

Having diabetes requires me to constantly think on my feet in addition to last prepared - Boy Scouts possess got nothing on me.
Having diabetes is piece of occupation - But that doesn't hateful I'm incapable of piece of occupation or success, both personally in addition to professionally.

Having diabetes does non hateful I can't possess got children or possess got a peachy life.

Having diabetes does hateful that I've learned to pick myself upward yesteryear my bootstraps no affair what, in addition to diabetes has taught me to laugh at things that continually drive me crazy in addition to turn through the all life's shit no affair how tired I am of living alongside diabetes.

WHY? thus that I tin acquire to the flowers in addition to all the other fantastical things that life has to offer.
Having Diabetes has made me stronger than many because having diabetes requires strength, empathy in addition to tenacity 24 X 7.

Having diabetes has made every somebody living alongside diabetes both resilient in addition to filled alongside resilience.

Finally, 

I NEED you lot to know in addition to recall this:  
The ONLY thing I can't practise alongside diabetes IS MAKE INSULIN - Everything else is GAME ON.
