@KevOnStage I mean you have so many doppelgängers you might as well lol! 😂

Yeah, there’s like a million good reasons to have anxiety with type 1 diabetes.

Running out of insulin.
Running out of CGM sensors.
Running out of test strips.
Severe low and can’t get to food.
Severe high and can’t get to insulin.
Stomach bug that sends you into DKA.
Trying to make your blood sugar work with the plans non-diabetics have for meals or exercise.
Insurance company denying coverage for insulin or pump supplies or CGM sensors or all of the above!
The cost of all this stuff that keeps us alive!
The people who lecture us every time we eat anything.
The people who lecture us every time our blood sugar isn’t perfect.
The diabetics who criticize other diabetics.
The non-diabetics who keep asking if you’re gonna lose your feet and die like their grandma did.
The fear of going to sleep at night and hoping your blood sugar doesn’t crash.
Going to sleep at night and hoping your pump doesn’t fail.

Okay, I’m tired. What else gives you anxiety with type 1 diabetes?

You’re definitely not alone.

The ADHD experience is having a growing collection of empty notebooks, pristine water bottles, and untouched to-do apps, each one a monument to good intentions.

Black employees at Google make $20K less on average than their white coworkers, a leaked spreadsheet obtained by the Insider reveals.

The data also show Black Googlers make less in bonuses and equity than their white colleagues.

@Type1journey Yes, exactly. I have been lucky to have a really great endo/ diabetes care team but the dietitians are hit or miss for me. This new lady was a miss lol. I need not ever see her again tbh 🙃😅

[Quanisha Jackson @quanisha112]

At my endo appointment. Just sat with the WORST dietitian I’ve ever met. Very judgmental, is trying to tell ME how to use MY pump, and when she saw my a1C she was so super shocked that is was good #doc #T1Diabetes

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Let me be very clear about something: I didn’t choose my limitations, my chronic illnesses chose them for me. I didn’t get bored one day and decide I wanted to make my entire life harder. My health changed and I had to adapt.
