You Are What You Lot Swallow - Together With Thence Today 1 Am Two Cups Of Starbucks Medium Roast...

There was a facebook news where I brought upward good pregnant people who didn’t fifty-fifty know telling me that I only did this, or didn’t consume that, I wouldn’t remove insulin. 

And for some argue the term: You are what you lot eat, has been looping inwards my heed ever since. So I went amongst it - And this what I came up with.

#####

They nation (and yesteryear THEY, I hateful a multitude of dudes  and in a multitude of unlike variations) that you are what you lot eat.  

Which agency today I am 2 cups of Starbucks Medium Roast, a greek huckleberry yogurt, a heaping spoonful of peanut butter dripping amongst honey, followed yesteryear a luncheon of gluten complimentary garlic crackers in addition to cream cheese, a raw yellowish pepper in addition to a tangelo. 

Last black I was a large rainbow colored salad amongst hardboiled eggs in addition to croutons, lightly doused amongst Paul Newman Olive Oil dressing. Immediately followed yesteryear a tangelo in addition to 2 Trader Joe’s Old Fashioned oatmeal cookies amongst vanilla Silk soy milk lightly sprinkled amongst cinnamon. 

SIDEBAR: The cinnamon was non sprinkled inwards the vanilla Silk soy to lower my blood sugar. It was sprinkled inwards my vanilla Silk soy because it’s damn tasty!

And before yesterday I was 2 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Hearts - 36 grams of deliciousness in addition to worth every driblet of insulin I used to encompass them! 

Speaking of insulin, no affair what I am or what consume for that matter, I am ALWAYS going to remove to bolus insulin to encompass my meals in addition to accept correction boluses to right my blood sugars  for the balance of my life - That is my reality, non my choice. 

 And if you’re reading this,  there’s a practiced lead a opportunity it’s your reality (or soul you lot love’s reality,) too.

Why am I writing this? Because sometimes I (we) possess got to remind people that no affair what nosotros consume equally people amongst type1 diabetes or how many miles nosotros run, walk, or ride or bikes,  -we volition ever remove insulin inwards monastic enjoin to live.

And spell the amounts of said insulin may alter depending on the blood sugar; the meal, the sum of exercise before said meal, whether or non nosotros are fighting off an infection, going through a increment spirit, or dealing amongst hormones - Ladies I’m talking about  PMSing,  possess got our periods, etc.  The fact that people amongst type 1 (and some amongst type 1.5 in addition to type 2) are going to remove insulin. 

Insulin non a demon, on the contrary, insulin = life in addition to nosotros shouldn’t ever possess got to brand excuses for taking it - or experience guilty because we remove to a greater extent than or less insulin at sure enough times. 

 But sometimes nosotros produce experience guilty, then THANK YOU SOCIETY.

Insulin is what allows us to walk around in addition to alive - So  those inwards social club who retrieve differently tin dismiss SUCK IT.
