Beat the Beetus

Name is Shelby. I am a type 1 diabetic. I have this blog to share my life as a diabetic. Help those that I can. Of any type.Though I will be able to relate to type 1 a lot more. I won't pretend to know something medically if I don't. I won't give straight out medical advice (very limited exceptions) because all of us our different with our bodies. I don't want to risk your life because something works for me. I will ask for advice and give advice. Gain support and give support. It's always nice to have people who can relate to you. <3 Feel free to ask me anything, suggest food and things that help motivate you to take better care of yourself.

I love you all! =D

Well, welcome to the diabetic world. It’s not going to be easy and not to be down but doesn’t really get easier as you go along. You do understand more and cope better. You learn what works and doesn’t. But key to it all (in my opinion) is just don’t procrastinate and do exactly what you’re supposed to. Checks, corrections, dosages, carb counting, and so on. It’s annoying at times, we all have been there and will be at the down times again. But don’t forget you have a huge community here that will help =) I wish you the best and hope none of this was coming off as a lecture. 

Cheers! =D
