This years topic is 6 things you want people to know about diabetes.
1. I may be a type 2 but I deserve the same level of care as a type 1. I am not a diabetes second class citizen.
2. Yes I can have a piece of cake at a party. Thanks for caring but I am paying attention to what I put on my plate.
3. I do have insurance but diabetes is expensive. Even good insurance doesn't cover everything.
4. Humor me.. some days it feels like its a full time job of testing, logging,changing sites and figuring out why the numbers just don't make sense no matter what I do. Sometimes I just need to talk about it.
5. Yes! I do need another bag for my supplies. I have a bag packed for an afternoon shopping trip, long trip out of town and an emergency bag of everything that I can live out of for 2 weeks. I have a ton of stuff to carry and I love bags. Sooooo, yes I do need another bag.
6. A blood sugar level isn't a constant thing. It changes continuously for a lot of different reasons. Some are easy to figure out and some aren't.
