โA 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
โIf you're scared right now, I get it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was numb feet. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back. xโ
โWhen 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
โHi, you. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. I remember type 2 and the shame people put on it like it was yesterday. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.โ
