Though each of us has a dissimilar diabetes type, nosotros all part many of the same diabetes gifts.

Each of us, regardless of our diabetes type, has institute our hearts, our courage, our home, too our brains inwards the Magical Land of the DOC

The start assignment of the Second Annual D Blog Week is to write well-nigh a dissimilar type of perspectives amidst the ginormous lay out of diabetes blogs/bloggers out there. Blog authors run the gambit from Former children amongst diabetes who spider web log equally adults amongst diabetes, newly diagnosed adult type 1's , LADA/ Type 1.5's, type 2s, parents of children amongst diabetes, spouses, yous get upward the type of diabetes too I guarantee there's many a spider web log well-nigh it. 

For unopen to argue when I read well-nigh this item assignment topic, I kept thinking well-nigh the imagery & lessons taught inwards the movie, The Wizard of Oz - For many reasons.

All of us direct keep moments when nosotros long for a ameliorate world, a globe where our diabetes "troubles melt similar lemon drops." And yes, I'm aware of the lemon drib reference is slightly ironical.

All of us direct keep "the diabetes monkey on our backs," too spell our diabetes monkey doesn't direct keep wings or interesting outfits, they notwithstanding drive us crazy!

In Diabetes Land, "Lions too tigers too bears," sometimes are represented by: https://elforocultural.blogspot.com//search?q=d-blog-week-admiring-our-differences

Each type of diabetes, survive it type 1, type 1.5, type 2, or type three represents a "Diabetes Equus caballus of a dissimilar color." FYI: There's a strong contingency that those horses are actually unicorns (diacorns? ) but I digress.

Each of us gets to survive Glenda from fourth dimension to time, allowing others to run across themselves the agency others run across them - And that is a beautiful affair

But the existent lesson of the Movie is well-nigh the ability that lies inside each i of us.

At the terminate of the movie, Dorothy too companionship received for their courage, brains, a view too a home. And unbeknownst to them, each already possessed the things they never persuasion they had.

And each of those things reminded me of every unmarried i of us inwards the DOC.

WHY? Because whether nosotros know it our not, much similar Dorthy & company, nosotros possess all of those real same gifts.

HEART

D Parents too siblings direct keep heart, because they lay their children/siblings start too create produce the skillful diabetes fight, 365 days a year.

D Spouses direct keep view because they convey the whole "sickness too inwards health" vow VERY seriously too dearest their spouses too their spouses pancreas'.

Type 2's direct keep to direct keep view because they boot the bucket through diabetes discrimination on a daily footing too having view is what allows them to run across the skillful inwards others inwards guild to run across past times the negativity too focus on diabetes.

LADA/ Type 1.5's 's require the gift of view inwards guild to convey a novel too dissimilar agency of life too run amongst it.

Type 1's must direct keep view because many direct keep grown upward amongst type 1. Growing upward amongst a chronic illness has the potential to unopen off your view from the world. Type 1s hearts are broad opened upward - And that's a wonderful thing.

COURAGE

D Parents too  siblings direct keep courage, because it's damn scary to survive a D parent. It's scary too hard to state no to your kid when all yous desire to produce is state yes. And fifty-fifty though the destination of every d bring upward is to eventually manus of the diabetes reins to their kid when they boot the bucket an adult, It's scary to laid upward your kid to eventually convey over the reins of their diabetes administration too it's fifty-fifty scarier to lookout them produce it.

I direct keep the unique perspective of likewise beingness a d sibling - too I'm hither to tell yous - it tin survive real scary, but it teaches yous to dearest too convey aid of the people that yous love.

D Spouses direct keep courage because it takes courage to dearest too it takes courage to sometimes survive the i that has to survive leaned on.

Type 2's direct keep courage because it takes existent courage to bargain amongst beingness blamed for something that's non your fault, fifty-fifty though many who lack brains, intend it is. Type 2s teach continually learn me that their diabetes struggles are only equally trying equally my own.

LADA/Type 1.5's direct keep courage to survive the someone amongst a novel category of diabetes, that many don't know fifty-fifty exist.

The bloggers who grew upward (or who are growing upward with) type 1 direct keep courage. It takes courage to survive a kid amongst diabetes. It takes courage to run across how your illness affects your family, too it takes courage to grow upward too alive a groovy life amongst your diabetes.

BRAINS

Dparents direct keep brains - because they direct keep to intend non solely for their needs, but their child's. They direct keep to know carb counts too basal rates, too they direct keep to continually intend of new ways to encourage & prepare their children with diabetes. D parents likewise must primary the linguistic communication of diabetes when most humans direct keep given upward on learning a novel language.

D spouses direct keep brains because they larn everything well-nigh diabetes they tin too thus they tin assistance their spouses.And Type 1, type 1.5 too type 2's direct keep brains because brains are a MUST inwards guild to bargain amongst diabetes math & to acquire a travelling pocket on their diabetes. We are continually beingness bombarded amongst diabetes facts, figures, too calculations that would brand a typical someone sans diabetes heads spin. But nosotros produce it, too scroll amongst it, too comprise those diabetes facts into our every solar daytime diabetes reality.

YEP, each of us has a Diabetes Degree inwards Thinkology!

So basically, nosotros are all are different, diabetically speaking. But each of us direct keep incredible hearts, brains, courage too are living examples of those qualities.

And finally, each of us has institute our HOME.

All of us, regardless of our type has institute a domicile inwards the DOC, without always having to click our heals three times. All nosotros direct keep to produce is log inwards too log on!
