I'm Not "Me" Today

“There are days where I wake up and immediately know...I’m not “me” today. These mornings usually follow a night of high and low blood sugars, but sometimes they come unexpectedly.”

But, Diabetes.

“I should be focusing on my two exams tomorrow and three coming up next week. I should be getting my things together for that 6am wake up call that I will receive much earlier than I would like.

But, diabetes.”

Another One Bites the Dust: My Celiacs Diagnosis Story

“As time has passed I can’t say that I don’t still find myself occasionally thinking these same thoughts and asking these same questions. However, I am slowly coming to terms with this new lifestyle that I have to live while also learning to accept myself again for all that I am and all that I am not.”

When The Going Gets Tough...

When I started this blog I was feeling refreshed, empowered, and fearless. I was so hopeful that I could use this to be a light and encourage others who were going through any type of invisible (or visible) battle to keep fighting.

But then the going got tough.

Hi, I'm High.

I urge you to be more understanding if someone is acting in a way that you don’t feel is appropriate. You do not always know what they are going through.

Disney with Diabetes

“Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. “ - Walt Disney

After the Retreat...

“The relationships that I formed this week will always and forever hold a special place in my heart. I feel empowered. I feel recharged. I feel passionate about advocating for diabetes. I feel whole.”
