November. It’s Diabetes Awareness Month, today is D-blog day, November 14th is World Diabetes Day, and this month also happens to be my diaversery (anniversary of my diagnosis).
The month started off bad... hours and hours of back and forth with insurance and the mail-in pharmacy about getting my insulin to me. (After crying to one person, I actually had to threaten that without insulin I would die, so they needed to figure something out.) SO frustrating! Anyway, insulin finally arrived before I ran out of it, fortunately.
It’s during those moments I hate this disease. Crying on the phone, hoping my kids don’t run into the room and see me in tears. Trying to keep it together while inside I feel so helpless, frustrated, scared, and just angry. This isn’t how I want to spend my day or my life, so I try not to let myself stay there for long. But from time to time it is how I feel.
My week with diabetes got better. Sunday Luke, the kids, and I went to the San Diego JDRF walk. We walked with the UCSD Diabetes and Pregnancy Program group which consisted of two other moms with diabetes and my amazing nurse who helped me through all three of my pregnancies. It is just a postitive, hopeful, and uplifting event. And pushing all three of my babies felt like sweet success.
