I want to sleep, but my blood sugar won’t let me
T1D culture is...
people going "OMG NO DONT YOU CANNOT EAT THAT YOURE DIABETIC" as soon as you grab something sweet, but not sayin anything when you eat literally anything else
This!
t1d culture is feeling self-conscious about being diabetic because of how people like to treat it as a joke or exclude diabetics from stuff so you feel like a bad person for having a disease you did nothing to get
t1d culture is seeing people just eating when they're hungry without thinking twice, going for seconds, buying themselves a treat when they feel like it, sometimes even not finishing their food if they feel full earlier than they expected. adding syrup to their coffee or honey to their tea, because they can.
and. just. watching. with fucking JEALOUSY. because i'll never eat worry free again. and i dread every family or friends meeting, because of course there will be food. and it will be a problem.
