Scott's Diabetes
Helping you see your strength
Today makes 38 (!!) years of living with type 1 diabetes. While diabetes itself is nothing to celebrate, each year I make a point to acknowledge and celebrate (even if just internally) all of the hard work I do to take good care of myself. It’s never easy, and diabetes is always a lot of effort. But I’m kicking ass and enjoying a magnificently blessed life. Thank you for being a part of my journey!

Happy diaversary, Scott!!!
I also have type 1 diabetes I have had it almost 2 years and it shocked me to see that you have had it so long and made me realize that i’m going to have it for the rest of my life. I kind of struggle with having diabetes. But it’s nice to see that you manage yours very well!
Hi Allison! Thanks for stopping by! Truth be told, we all kind of struggle with having diabetes – but that’s because it’s a pain in the ass trying to be a human pancreas! But we all somehow find a way to create a balance in our lives (it ebbs & flows, for sure), and I have no doubt that you will, too. We’re all here with you, and I hope it helps to know that you’re not alone. It does for me. It also helps me a lot to know that the little things I struggle with are completely normal… Read more »
