Beat da 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 are 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

So I was just curious if you all work out…… what kind of workouts do you do and what kind of foods do you eat if you get low during so it doesn’t throw the point of working out completely out of wack?! 

I have had to lower my lantus a few times the last two weeks since I have actually been working out almost everyday since then. I am starting to see while staying on schedule with working out if you’re doing it regularly is important. 


I will be doing 4 walks this year…….

two being the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. 


If you’d like to donate to my team please let me know =)

So it’s almost the spring so that means walks/runs/races and all these charity events are back.

Which ones are you competing in or raising awareness or money for this year?
I need to start getting my team stuff organized and back together for the fall events.
Even if you can’t walk/run/race/ or donate you can still raise awareness for all of it.








I am on the KCMO event. My team is Mutated Pancreas Society. This will be the 9th year! =D Super stoked.


oh ok…

so on wednesday i am turning 21 and then the weekend i will be drinking. 

what are some tips on drinking (a lot) ive already drank before…

but tips for when you’re diabetic. 

plus what are your favorite mixed drinks….

I need more ideas besides jello shots to have vodka with that takes away most or all the taste of vodka.

I kind of got my diabetes tattoo colored in and a little bit fixed because if ya’ll saw it, it was bad. 

=) 

Hey all im almost to 300! Thatvis so awesome.

Im getting a lot of hypov episodes still and even with the endocronologist changes it still is crazy. Waiting to hear about my humacloban and a1c. Plus my cholesterol.
Do any of you diabetics also have cholesterol problems?

So i know that diabetes will be the death of me.

Now whether that’s from it driving me to the point i give up or because of side effects and complications it’s a whole other story.

I’m just tired of everything i do having to be thought out. Good things being interrupted by a disease that i had no control over getting. It’s unfair. Some of the pain are suffering is physically viewable but i know way too damn well most the pain isn’t seen, is invisible. Emotional ride that is just invisible to everyone else.

I just want to be done. Completely done.


:-\

And being a girl…. Its lovely sometimes….
Sorry guys…..
I always go low during this time of the month.

Which means NOM NOMS

I WROTE A SONG….

*clears throat*

Shred my uterus into pieces
I am a baby port
Menstruation, frustration,
Never enough medication.

Yeah that’s all i got so far.

My endo check up is Monday…

I was 8.8, then to a 10.6 was my last. I’m getting worse. I hope its better this time.

Ok so I forgot on my discharge papers from the hospital that I wrote this. I brought it in because the page before it has my list of meds. Anyways, I gave it to the doctot he turned the page and saw this. He laughed, didn’t know the reference but laughed. Yes, I’m quite embracing diabetes right now. Haha. :)
