I started a tumblr just so I could message you (i'll usually just look at tumblr by googling topics). Your blog is AMAZING. I've had type 1 diabetes for 11 years now & can relate so much to people not understanding, emotions from hormones, & feeling alone sometimes & I'm also from SD! Ha. THANK YOU for making a blog that not only talks about your diabetic life, but also shows your personality through non-diabetic posts as well. What other support resources besides tumblr do you use for your T1D?
first of all, im very happy you have a tumblr now, its an amazing world :) and that you love my blog! :) that means so much! as far as a support group…. well… i have about 4 other friends with type 1 and my brother and uncle are also type 1…so im fortunate in that, i have my brother… my brother is my biggest support system…. but there is this girl on youtube and facebook, her name is “Diabetic Danica” and she is great…she has videos on just about every problem we face and her facebook has alot of links to other support resources! :) thanks for checking out my blog!
senior year here i come
crazy moment today…. i ended my last day of Junior year…i can say without a doubt that this was the hardest year academically…. i remember coming on tumblr and talking about how much i didnt want to start this year… i remember talking about how hard my classes were….and it shocks me to say i made an “A” both semesters in my algebra II class…the class i spent most saturdays in the classroom studying for mondays test…the class that i spent an hour and a half everyday in just to get the extra points…. its hard to believe i passed my AP US History course… i survived that countless hours of homework he assigned on friday night….
ive served as class vice-president for the past 3 school years..this coming year i will now serve as the senior class president..and i cannot explain how excited i am to start this last chapter of high school….
i will now lay in my bed and let the fact that i survived my junior year and its over now…
one more year…
its abby normal: A Letter to Bill Cosby →

Today, I called the New York Post regarding this op-ed article written by Bill Cosby. In it, he blames apathy the increase in illnesses in people these days. Specifically he states:
“Juvenile Diabetes. Children are not being taken out of harm’s way. And there are many things that we also can do,…

I just sobbed for half an hour straight on my dad because I couldn’t put my cannula in and because its so unfair that I’m diabetic and I never did anything to deserve this and how fed up I am and how I just want to be normal for a day and how people take their health for granted, I feel so…
im at my point again...summer is much needed.
im at that point again in my life where i want to give up. everything and anything makes me upset…makes me angry. i feel so much resent i cant even describe it….not resent to strangers i dont know…but to people who are supposed to be the most important people of my life. my own mother. i dont know if i feel anger towards her because i feel that she plays no role in my diabetic life. i look at other mothers to diabetic teenagers and they are constantly so diligent about making sure their child isnt dying, isnt low….ive seen some mothers be able to sense a low or high in their child before they even sense it… i feel like my mom couldnt give two shits about my blood sugars… she’ll see im like 500 and im trying to get it to come down and she’ll laugh at me and tell me i need to be a better diabetic. Or when she comes up to me and has this patronizing tone with me when asking me a question, or when she sits her ass on the couch all day long while my dad and i do work all around the house and STILL complains to her friends that she is so exhausted from working all day long…. i dont know…maybe im just looking for those flaws because my junior year has drained me emotionally and physically…. im so done with this semester… i feel like im getting into a terrible depression and i dont know where else to voice this thought… which is why i come to tumblr…
i cant stop sleeping…. when im not doing work, i lay on my bed and just sleep… im always tired….always…and i so fucking tired of my mom pointing out how much of a grouch i am….i try to be happy and i try to be up beat but some people make it so fucking hard…. when my parents are away for the weekend…thats when im the happiest… and i know it sounds so typical for a teenager to say this….
i mean i love my parents both so much, and i appreciate the life they have provided for me… and i know that my world would be shattered if something happened to them… but if i could just escape from everyone for like a week….then i would be so much better….when i say escape, i mean…go off into the forest in a cabin, just me….and refocusing on the good in life…sorry for this rant…but i can honestly say…after writing this all out… i feel alot better…
