I've been going through multiple situations over the past 30 days. #1 My eldest daughter got arrested at a public facility, #2 the year anniversary of my middle daughter's death quickly approaches, #3 Mother's Day is when my mother transitioned, #4 fighting for my life with these UNPROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CARE TEAMS, #5 I have 3 grandboys from my deceased daughter that are in foster care and they refuse family communications. There's so much more, but this is THE TOP 5 STRESSES.

Motivational Monday: You Still Can!

“Never let the things you cannot do prevent you from doing the things you can.” – John Wooden

The fact that you have diabetes may seem like a limitation, but it shouldn't hold you back. If you manage diabetes properly, you can still enjoy life with those you love, travel, and pursue your passions. Don’t let your condition hold you back from achieving your goals and enjoying life. Remember, you are capable of doing great things despite your diagnosis!

Introducing myself #fibromyalgiawarrior #Grief #Diabetes

Happy Earth Day everyone. I have been here just a few weeks now. My name is Dany (she/her/they), 58, married lesbian. I have insulin dependent type 2 diabetes (although in todays new understanding, I should have been type 1.5). Diabetes affects everything and is affected by everything, hmm sounds familiar since Fibromyalgia is the same. So I have lots of fun with that. So, I was 24-26 when I got the diagnosis for Diabetes. I only got the fibromyalgia diagnosis in January 2020, after having knee replacement surgery in January 2018. I had no idea that I had Fibromyalgia until the surgery turned it up full blast! Both my full blood sisters have it. But it wasn’t something we spoke about. I’m the oldest and went to live with dad, they stayed with mom. It was only in adulthood that I got to know them. And we lost one in 2009.

I would like to talk about Fibromyalgia and grief. 2020 was a bad yr for most of us, but I lost my dad, my best friend, the son I helped raise (previous relationship), then my mom in 2022. Plus I move 500 miles last June. I’m from Central Virginia and now I live 11 miles from Lake Ontario. Grief itself is a flair trigger and grief comes in waves, unexpected. Tracking my flairs becomes hard because it’s not always a traditional trigger. My blood sugar affects and it is affected by my pain. I have now tinnitus, which I have been able to correlate with my pain levels, the higher and intensity of my ear ringing, the higher my pain levels are.

So that’s a lot to unpack 😁

Quick Tip Thursday: Make a Backup Medicine Plan

There’s been a lot of talk about a nationwide shortages of many medications, including several diabetes medications.

If you can't get your prescriptions filled, contact your doctor to come up with a backup plan for keeping blood sugars in a healthy range. This eliminates unnecessary struggling with high blood sugar ranges for long periods of time and reduces diabetes complications risks.
