We're Called Halfies

A/N!

Hey guys! 

Can you all believe it's exactly one year since my diagnosis? May 20th! I can't! I didn't even pick it until my parents told me. They weren't going to (because I'm on placement and that in itself is the biggest stress monster to deal with) but when they did, I did the only human response anyone could ever respond with.

I cried ;~; 

It's been such a difficult path to go on, especially at my age (I'm 19, very late to be diagnosed with type one diabetes), because I don't know anyone my age who is also a diabetic. It's also been a struggle to accept. I went eighteen years straight, absolutely fine and then get this shock diagnosis; especially since there is no history of it on either side of the family. I have been on this (I wouldn't call it a retreat, but that's the closest analogy I can think of) that taught me to "think like a pancreas" (y'all be greatful you don't have to. This maths is painful! and the ratios! oh the ratios!), but it's helped me control my diabetes and blood sugar levels so well!

An Average day for me before would be me at 17-20 units of sugar in my body (average person has 4 units) and that would make me so lathargetic and sick (it was like every other week, virus, flu, cold, you name it, I caught it). But I've now got it down to 9.3 (A new record!) which makes me feel so much better and healthier! 

So thank you guys for being awesome readers, because coming on here and seeing my baby get all these reads just makes my heart warm and inspires me to get even better with my sugars. 

Thank you and I love you all,
