Diabetes isn’t easy. Diabetes isn’t fun. My name is Mary and I have Type 1

Like this cutie little button, designed by yours truly? You want one? Easy!
This year, to raise money for JDRF, I’ll be sending one of these little guys to every person who donates to my page. Link below!

Make sure you include your name and mailing address when donating!
If it goes well, I might make other diabuddies for you all! Pens, meters, etc…give me a reason!
…if it ain’t got that swing!
I dance a lot. If you can’t find me at any given time, it’s probably because I’m twirling somewhere. When you’re a follow in swing dance, you have to be a “zen master.” Attuned to my partner’s cues, my mind goes blank. If I think too hard about what my body is doing, I stiffen and the dance falls apart. Yet, I’m still completely focused, aware, and ready in motion.
It’s a lot like that with diabetes, too. If I think too hard and become neurotic about my BG, things go wrong. I overcorrect, under eat, and dip too low. If I’m not aware at all, well then…no one likes DKA.
Like dancing, diabetes relies on communication between you and your body. And yeah, sometimes you trip and fall or accidentally punch your partner in the face, but that’s okay. It happens!
Plus, dance (or any physical activity) is great for BG control and looking sexy. Representing that pump life!
Some details of my outfit today
Have you ever felt guilty for not talking about your diabetes with your loved ones?
Have you ever felt like they just wouldn’t understand if you talked about it?
You should talk about it anyway.
Another London photo from my trip in June.

Here’s one from London where I managed to get one the famous red buses in the shot. That trip was two months ago and I’m still digging through 360 photos!

From a day trip with the boys to the Seattle waterfront earlier this summer. They’re so patient with their 360 photo obsessed father.
