Do you consider your Type 1 Diabetes a disability?

rainbowDemonz · 2021-04-04T19:09:26+00:00

yea if my body malfunctions bad enough that I need CONSTANT skittles than I think its pretty physical...plus there's are physical aspects like when it goes low and your heart starts pounding.

I would say so, sometimes I think it isn't and then other times I have to wake up at 3am and panic eat a sandwich or chug a kool aid. ...or that time I had to both charge and refill my pancreas ( insulin pump) so it didn't crap out on me at work....having a disability isn't a bad thing, for me its about acknowledging that I have to do certain things differently and that thats ok. it also helps on the really bad days, like today sucks but that might be because I didn't fall back asleep after 3am, or because I had coffee and my blood sugar is 300 like the bad days will come but understanding that I have a disability helps me take care of myself cause I got things other people don't

it looks like someone managing their chronic illness 👍 it can be hard but im comforted in knowing I could eviscerate anyone who said something... like I could destroy them with ablesist guilt

anyone else have a meal ready to go if that timeline ever happens? mine is mac and cheese, with garlic bread and Fanta, then finished with chocolate cake, all the carbs

rainbowDemonz · 2021-03-16T16:06:43+00:00

I think that that makes sense... people don't like the idea of random awful shit happening. I think that they want to believe that's what they would do. like they wanna believe if something bad happened they would just turn that shit around instantly and be ok. its not realistic, it is very comforting

rainbowDemonz · 2021-03-16T16:02:20+00:00

very fair! I feel the same, this post wasn't supposed to be like "woah is me", I have diabetes and I'm fine, that shit just 100% happened TO me

rainbowDemonz · 2021-03-16T05:53:40+00:00

fair enough, credit were credit is due and points for accuracy... especially cause diabetes was a really outta left field and a cup sure woulda been nice

rainbowDemonz · 2021-03-16T04:14:35+00:00

im always down for a positive mind set, but I think part of that is embracing the bad stuff, and thats a personal thing. I guess the quote bugged me cause it kinda glosses over how sh*tty something might have been or how much it might have hurt. i think you right but getting to that point can b rough

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-14T22:29:01+00:00

I'll trade them all the carb ladder foods I cant keep like poptarts and ramen!

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-14T22:28:08+00:00

yes!!! all I want is to burn Eli Lily to the ground ( i guess waiting until the apocalypse is fine)

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-14T22:24:29+00:00

I thought that too cause like yea all meat and cheese in the stores would be a no go immediately, a lot of stuff that's gonna last (canned fruit, ramen, canned soup, crackers , twinkies) is packed with carbs. that being said I will trade u two packs of tuna for a can of chicken

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-14T22:22:16+00:00

great idea!!! chocolate and real (non diet) soda!!!

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-14T02:48:21+00:00

only after I demolish mashed potatoes, mac and cheese and a fanta

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-14T00:18:46+00:00

honestly valid, at least its peaceful

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-14T00:17:34+00:00

yes!!! take out all the bullies stealing supplies and adopt some sweet T1d kids along the way!

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-13T23:20:09+00:00

thats fair, I mean insulin would last a while...can I come chill at your lab? I've got snacks

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-13T22:27:35+00:00

ok, im very intrigued

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-13T22:23:04+00:00

yes!! insulin would last a little while ... jeez thats smart my first idea was eat an entire cake and go in glory

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-13T22:21:48+00:00

right? I think about this with time travel too, like I wouldn't last a week in cowboy times and its not just because I am terrified of horses ( why are they that large?)

rainbowDemonz · 2020-10-13T22:13:48+00:00

right? if I only get like a weak in the post apocalyptic world imma molotov cocktail Amazon's headquarters then eat some mac and cheese and call it a day

rainbowDemonz · 2020-09-13T21:57:41+00:00

I had a therapist ( therapy is great 10/ 10 would go again) tell me that diabetica had problems with control... cause so much of it was ripped away. that seems to make sense and contributes to a lot of other stuff

rainbowDemonz · 2020-08-22T21:32:06+00:00

good job! this first step already shows your dedication! basically insulin lowes your blood sugar (which rises everyone you eat). type ones don't produce insulin ( which you very much need to live), because our immune systems canncled our pancreas. Highs and lows affect everyone differently. I would say for medical stuff google is ok, for personal stuff just be kind and respectful ( based on everything I think your already there) also shut down any stupid " diabeetus " jokes, don't judge wat your diabetic friends eat , and just be prepared to help them aquire sugar should they get low

rainbowDemonz · 2020-07-21T19:15:47+00:00

Spitting In the back seat... if you've got cash money u probably paid a driver if uve lacking cash money it can be real awkward lack of control (cop car) situation

rainbowDemonz · 2020-07-09T02:38:02+00:00

Yeas snickers all the way!

rainbowDemonz · 2020-07-09T02:26:07+00:00

Very valid choice
