50+ years with Type 1 Diabetes. I don't write about the numbers; I write about the rage. The unedited truth of T1D and the relentless mental toll. This is the map out of the dark.

#diabetes burnout/distress is common. After living with it for over half a century, hands up, I have been there. Here is a guide for anyone who needs it. πŸ‘

You obviously don't wish to be educated. Fair enough.

Can anyone convince me that I'm wrong. #trump wants the Nobel Peace prize. Last week idiot suggested putting American military into American cities as training grounds for future war mongering. Racist, bully, dislike of women, etc. If so, fuck off to any future respect for the Nobel Peace prize?

Hiya, I am T1 since 1970. Spot on correct, we cannot control what our blood sugars can do due to other elements. Carb counting, yep, covered. Stress, weather, tired, illness the list as you mention is endless though the 'dawn phenomenon', yep, that one. Nothing like waking up to that.

normally people celebrate birthdays. I had my diabetes birthday in September. Date of diagnosis 1970. So much for the cure that's a few years away. Been over half a century let alone a couple of years. #diabetestype1 #diabetic for life it seems

Well, diagnosed T1 in 1970. Always knew my pancreas was not the best. When i read your words Their pancreas is crap," says Boyne. "It's not as bad as Type 1, but it's really crappy." Now i know it's worse than crap. Cheers πŸ‘

Meme of three upper class type one diabetic men looking down on people who complain of minor ailments.

The face of 50+ years of T1D hearing other non diabetics moaning about their minor complaints. If you feel this rage, you're not alone. What's the biggest non-physical toll diabetes takes on you? #T1D #Diabetes #ChronicLife #MentalHealth #Diaburnout
