Family out there 💙 I know I can be honest with you 💕 I’m so happy to be able to actually feel comfortable to only have my @dexcom showing and not having the catheter on! 🥰 I can finally be someone “normal” and take a swim in the ocean 🙏 (on the second picture you can see the mark from where it once was. And yes, I asked a women to take the picture haha)
I wish you all have an awesome Friday and an amazing weekend 💕 love to you all out there!
Friends 💙 Let’s talk about injections! Have you ever been in the situation, just like me, when you think in your head “Did I take my shot or not?”
•
Now I have been using this really smart product and this has been such a helpful little thing for me! Because worrying takes up too much mental capacity - and this timer helps, a lot!!!
•
It’s just a cap, that tells you when you last took your injection. How smart? I now have a smart pen! The thing I really love about this timer is that I can now focus on other things that I love (except Diabetes 😘)

Feeling insecure sometimes? Yes, me to!
•
The good news is you’re not alone. Insecurity is universal with or without diabetes
•
We all doubt ourselves from time to time and I know that diabetes isn’t helping. But I’m here for you and to be honest with you, I don’t have the best confidence. But it’s getting better!
•
When I was a younger, I refused to be a person in the spotlight. I didn’t like the feeling of knowing people were looking at me. Or, later on, I didn’t even tell my previous dates that I had diabetes. Not that I was ashamed of the fact that I had a chronically disease - I didn’t have the confidence to let another person see who I was.
•
It’s not easy to break a pattern that’s not healthy. But it’s not impossible. One thing that has helped me is to always remember that comparing myself to others - is bullshit. We don’t have all the information on other people’s life’s, so it’s impossible to compare “apples to apples” or blood sugar curves to blood sugar curves 💕
Can’t we just decide that life as a diabetic does not have to be something negative 💕
•
And with that said. Yes, I manage my diabetes the best with injections today and actually, I love it! Knowledge is power, and the diagnosis itself gives you the ability to help control this disease to the best of YOUR ability. Not a day goes by that I’m not grateful for LIFE, and I get to share the hope with others that even on really hard days, we have each other and we’ve made it through before 💙🥰
