Walk a day in my shoes

It goes without being said, that my life has changed forever. Since being diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic, my simple daily activities have transformed dramatically. I can no longer chomp down that delicious burger I was craving all day without paying the price almost immediately afterwards. Being a diabetic means planning, and lots of it. If you can get that down, you can handle anything diabetes throws your way! 

As I created this post, I couldn't help but laugh, then shake my head, then laugh some more. My "new life" is anything but the life I dreamt of having, but at the end of the day, it's the life I've been given, & thats a lot more than some people can say. Sometimes it's difficult to get across to others, just how crazy my daily routine truly is.. So I kept it simple this time. From the second I wake up, to the second I crawl back into bed at night//
