I am Type 1 Diabetic

A lot of people don't know that type 1 and type 2 are completely different. Most people know someone who is type 2. And people say to me How can you be diabetic? You're not fat!
Actually type 1 diabetics are just 5% of all diabetics. We get it when we are children. Our pancreas doesn't make insulin. So we have to inject it. Or like me, we have to wear a pump that injects it.
It means testing blood glucose a lot. Many times I prick my finger and blood doesn't come out and I say It's like blood getting out of a stone!
Many times I just want to go to sleep and never wake up, but my life is too precious for that. Life is sacred.

My dad had type 2 and unfortunately a sweet tooth to compliment it.

I was spared I mean It's not like I don't enjoy Candy but It's not the same as someone with a deep craving for it.

I am more of a meat eatter.
Chickennnnnn babeh. I felt sorry for him on that issue.

@Blodyn Not quite, but feel if women had the upper hand things would be quite different. It's very evident which side of that divide minds their kids being sent to die in wars more.

@BetweenKittensandRiots I was just thinking the same things. We are far from perfect but wars would not happen as much. Although Margaret Thatcher sent people to war.

@Blodyn No shit. I'm not going to argue women aren't capable of being just as vile I know that one WELL it's just most of you chose not to be.
Take my own line of thinking too far and some chick who just has it out for you for no reason that make sense to you will assault you the way happened to me, I've got plenty of reasons to DISLIKE women it's jut I see the good in most of them and that they're not all like that.

There is a new development you might be interested in. A friend of mine wears a patch (There is a needle under it, permanently in his skin, but he does not have to prick himself every day. The needle is already in place, and he does not feel it.) He then has an app on his phone, and he can check his glucose by going to the app. (And if he ingests too much sugar at once, the phone will sound an alarm!)

And please.....wake up tomorrow. And every day! :)

@DrWatson Dear Dr Watson. You have been so kind to me, watching out for me. I am soon getting a new kind of pump. We change it every three days. And it can go in the water!
So I can forget it when I am on Lifeguard duty!

DrWatson · 70-79, M

@Blodyn That is fantastic! I hope that new pump works out for you.

Swimming was never my forte. In fact, there was one time when lifeguard actually dove in to get me when I panicked in deep water (I was pretty young). So I am very appreciative of lifeguards!

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@DrWatson Thank you. It's nice to know someone appreciates lifeguards! Kids don't. We blow a whistle at them every time they try to kill themselves. What spoilsports!

Yes, Angel, life is precious indeed, and you're precious to all of us. God bless!

@luv2fly352 Your post is so beautiful.

@Blodyn Thank you, Angel, and I love the way you keep us all updated on whatever it is you're doing whether it's school, the farm, etc.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

@luv2fly352 I pretty much live life in the fast lane! Like college finished for the summer. But I still have lifeguard duty. And summer school where we help out.
