Archive/RSS/Ask

Coffee & Insulin i'm sarah. i'm a 19 year old college student who just happens to have type 1 diabetes. this will be an account of my highs, lows, and daily adventures with diabetes. and i'd love to make some friends, too.

oh, and coffee and insulin are two things I cannot live without.
sweeetestbitch asked: Hey (: I'm 17 and have type 1 too, did you gain a bunch of weight after being diagnosed? I was diagnosed maybe like 7 months ago and I have continued to gain without being able to loose. help?

well i lost 13 pounds in 2 weeks right before i was diagnosed, so i def. gained that back, but i didn’t gain TOO much more after that. i know that insulin can be related to weight gain though. maybe talk to your doctor about the side effects of the insulin you’re taking? sorry i cant be of more help

lovemetoinfinityandbeyond asked: Good morning!

I was wondering if you would mind taking a few minutes out of your day to watch a video I recently posted and that is very important to me. The video is of my youngest brother, Zachary, and me speaking about Type One Diabetes. Zac was diagnosed a year from today [February 25th, 2010] and we hope to spread the word to find a cure!

Please watch and reblog. You are helping more than you know.

Warmly,
Ashley ♥

it-happened-one-nut-deactivated asked: I just started following random blogs of other type one diabetics and I cannot believe I didn't think of this before and how many are on here!! How long have you had diabetes? I was diagnosed when I was 7, so just over 2 years.

i know, i started this blog and was amazed to see how many others there are! i was diagnosed when i was 14, so almost 6 years ago.

Just got an internship with JDRF for this summer <333333

moments to smile about

1. when you think your blood sugar is going to be high, but it turns out to be perfect

2. when the injection doesn’t hurt one bit

3. when someone admiringly says, “I can’t imagine dealing with all that. You’re brave.”

4. when you see a JDRF fundraiser, and all the people helping out

5. when your low A1c reflects all of your hard work

6. when you meet someone else with type one and feel that instant bonding connection

7. when tumblr suddenly becomes a type one diabetes networking site, and suddenly you don’t feel so alone
