Today is my 23rd anniversary of being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I have nothing positive to say about it. What are you supposed to do on your diabetes anniversary? I see people celebrate them all the time.

Keep up the good work, try to improve what you can and have hopes for a cure sooner or later.

The positive is that you're still here. You survived another year with a disease that a little over a hundred years ago was an outright death sentence. You've not only survived another whole year, you also have access to incredible technology and modern biologically engineered versions of insulin that allow you a kind of flexibility to exist that was unthinkable just a few years before I was born in the mid to late 80s.

It still sucks. Nothing about diabetes is great, We're not celebrating having a disease that kills us if left untreated.

But only focusing on how it sucks doesn't actually make your life any better. Ignoring all the ways you've achieved actual good living with something shitty like this doesn't help you at all. If you're in a position where you're acknowledging how much i

Dont lose hope, look up the story of dr bernstein he was type 1 and diagnosed in 1946 where glucose monitoring was a hard thing. he lived till the age 90.

Celebrate LIFE!
