I get to have a naked shower today and my excitement is immeasurable.

Also saying that to anyone that’s never worn a cgm or pump, makes you sound fucking insane! “No you see, I’m showering without my cgm on, so it’s like NAKED naked. Two levels of naked! It’s different, trust me. You only have one level of naked. This is double naked” 🙃

I’m honestly just glad to see the back of this week. It’s been the hardest Christmas to go through, I’m just relieved it’s over. It’s always a rough time of year for me but this year more than any, I think I just haven’t the fight in me to make the best of a sad time anymore…

I treat my friends like my family because truth be told I don’t have any. So when a whole holiday is built around spending time with your family. I’m always cast adrift. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to be with their blood. I guess I just wish I had some that actually cared…

I will 100% be deleting all of these when I emotionally shut back down later but for now I just wanted to get it off my chest with a brief moment of vulnerability. I hate this time of year & I wish I could avoid it but Christmas is forced on everyone & there’s no running from it

*Watching my blood sugar spike from eating half a peanut butter cup* “More like dia-booooo-ties, am I right?” No ones even around, idk why I even said that out loud.

Imagine hearing someone died rationing their daily oxygen intake because they couldn’t afford breathing anymore. Sounds like an incredibly dystopian concept right? But that’s exactly what some diabetics have to do rationing their insulin to survive. Makes my fucking blood boil

But I got a travel case with lots of pockets in it. Perfect size for carrying the ridiculous amount of diabetic things I need & I’m hyped on it cos it just makes my life a lot easier. It made me realise that a gift of making my life easier to handle is the best gift I can get

If you’re having a sad Christmas that means you’re going to have a happy 2023 right? RIGHT!?

Bought a new jacket, mostly wearing it to the gym, it’s bright orange but I like it. Keeps me toasty. First day wearing it and a lad shouts over “omg who killed Kenny” So I’ll probably be called Kenny for the rest of forever now, that’s cool.

Not much triggers me but there’s a certain rage that builds in me when I hear doctors, nurses or even random people that don’t have diabetes, call it “manageable.” Manageable means without difficulty and diabetes is the definition of difficult even on a good day

I think a lot of my guilt and feeling like a bad diabetic came from this “manageable” idea everyone kept throwing at me. I’d prefer if they said it’s tolerable. Yeah it 24/7 sucks but you can survive it if you endure it.

It’s been a good time for gigs. Managed to see Toro y Moi this year in Dublin & NY. Jungle in Istanbul, Tame Impala at EP & I’ll see Sylan Esso & Idles next summer. I missed live music so much during lockdowns, but I’m ticking all my favourites off one by one now. So hyped 🙌🏼

“You look tired today” Yeah, I haven’t had a good nights sleep since before I got diabetes over a decade ago, but thanks so much…

Hello diabetics, I have a question someone might be able to answer. So my endo is moving me to Levemir. I’m currently on 16 units of Tresiba a day. She wants me to do a 2 unit higher dose of Levemir in the morning but I can’t for the life of me remember what units she recommended

If I’m on 16 Tresiba, would it be 16 Levemir at night and 18 in the morning? Does that sound right? Is it pretty much a unit to unit swap when moving long acting? I’d obviously call her but they haven’t been answering so thought I’d just try figure it out
