Raising my voice for diabetes

April 14th was "Raise Your Voice For Type 1 Diabetes Awareness Day". More information, and links to other people speaking up, can be found here: Six Until Me

I'm a day late, and better with pictures than words, and I think these speak for themselves:

This, do 4-6 times a day.

This, do every time you eat carbs.

They are meant to be uncomfortable to look at.

This is my life, and the life of any type 1 diabetic, every day. So if these make you wince or look away, just remember, we deal with it day in and day out. There's no looking away. It's a burden we carry silently in a struggle to maintain a "normal" lifestyle.
