“When 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.”
“If you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. Hypos at night, every single day. I got a new job in April. You get yourself back in pieces.”
“Please 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.”
“In 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.”
