Hmm, I really thought that if I can link the photo’s or subjects to Instagram then anyone can see it but Instagram is not playing nice. You will have to log in to see the post. Not too worry for those who do not have Instagram, for you I will type it out. Okay, copyContinue reading “Instagram Diary: Diabetes Awareness Month”

A Day in the Life (of a Diabetic)
A day in the life of a Diabetic differs from person to person. Not one Diabetic’s day is the same. We all have our own routine and things that needs to get done, but what we all have in common is the pricks, scans and injections. There are so many different factors that will haveContinue reading “A Day in the Life (of a Diabetic)”
The Diabetes Dictionary
Diabetics speak their own language and I am convinced you have heard abbreviations, acronyms or words used that you have no idea what we are speaking about. Do not fear, I have found the person who is going to guide you through our language. Meet Lurina, or as we know her in the community, TheContinue reading “The Diabetes Dictionary”
T1D and T2D – The Differences

After I found my tribe earlier this year (read about it here), I asked that if there is an event or somewhere where I can become more involved with the Diabetic community, count me inContinue reading “AMA (Ask Me Anything) Diabetes Event-30/09/21”
Finding My Tribe – Diabetic Meet Up
I have not been part of a Diabetes community for quite some time. My parents used to take me to meetings and Diabetic camps, but it kind of died in Primary School. This really made me feel so alone. I had some pen pals who I exchanged letters with through the years but I lostContinue reading “Finding My Tribe – Diabetic Meet Up”
