My insecurities about living with T1D:
Living with T1D has been a really challenging part of my life, however I do have a lot of people who love me and help me. I've been through atleast three doctors in my nine years with type one and my first doctor was the doctor who delivered me at birth and has known me since I was little. All my doctors so far have been male. I don't really feel comfortable when it comes to having a male doctor because they have to ask me a lot of personal questions especially about that time of month, because that can also effect my blood sugar levels alot believe it or not. Luckily I'll be going to a female doctor from now on and that makes me feel so much better because I can talk more comfortably with a female doctor than with a male one. Within these nine years, I've had alot of ups and downs from getting use to having T1D to now, where I'm finally getting the control of things a little more.
My family always supports me and my friends always make sure I'm okay.
My boyfriend is one of my biggest supporters and he always helps me treat lows and makes sure I'm okay and healthy. Especially because he saw me have my first hypo, he has been a bit more paranoid but that shows he cares. He has always been there for me as well as my friends.
And one more thing is I follow alot of people all around the world eho have T1D and they inspire me to do my best always. I have a lot of respect for newbies and also for people who have had T1D for more years than me. You all are truly inspirational. I've also managed to make a T1D friend and we kinda bond over our lives with T1D now and I try to help her where I can.
One day I hope to be able to make my life with type one better by getting a insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor (cgm) which will make my life so much better.
Especially since next year will make 10 years with T1D.

Hope you all enjoyed reading my experience with T1D. My last chapter will probably be to thank you all for the support. And then I'll do more chapters on my 10th year with type one next year probably.
Love,
Karla. ♥️
