29 years ago today, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 14 years old.
I will always remember my first two thoughts upon being told I must inject insulin for life to survive:
1) my life will never again be the same;
2) I need a cigarette ππ€£
The more things changeβ¦..

Getting to hang out with great friends hits different when you only get the opportunity every 3-4 years. And yeah, your eyes donβt deceive you. That pic shows 2 diabetics at Toothsomeβs Chocolate Emporium. Weβre shattering misconceptions and exhausting our insulin pumps.

Nash, a tuxedo cat, sits atop a white fridge while Hazel, a tortie, sits on a fuzzy mat on the kitchen table. Both are looking directly at the camera, apparently enjoying their relaxing Sunday
Happy Sunday!
