From people who came through it

  • โ€œWhen I was first diagnosed, I felt like my body had betrayed me. I was angry. I still am some days. But you learn to adapt. The pump, the hypos, the family comments. It is a lot. But you find your people. I found a diabetes nurse who listens. I found friends online who get it. You will too. Just keep going. And do not let anyone tell you what to eat at a wedding. You know your body.โ€

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself, I wasn't, and it made everything harder, I pace everything now so if I do a lot Monday, tuesday is a rest day, no arguing, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. I was in the same place this time last year. Back then it was family telling me what I can eat at weddings. I got a new job in April. You get yourself back in pieces.โ€

  • โ€œIn 2023, that was me. A new pump I am scared to trust. That was my life. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Bit by bit it comes back. Keep going, even slowly.โ€
