I'm Dana, I'm 22. Type 1 diabetic since 2002. I think this is all easier if we talk about it / here to connect, share, sometimes complain. This is what my diabetes looks like. Also: skiing, biking, stuff outside. Coffee. I want to hear from you!

Had a snack, went for a run, and now this is happening for reasons I cannot explain. Had to stop eating dinner half way through because I just keep trending up, after two big doses of insulin. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck this.

Today’s make-up pallette is inspired by Bayer Keto-Diastix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis because nothing says Type 1 Diabetes quite like pissing ketones.

Toast with avocado, feta, lox, & fried egg in front of the kitchen fire. Low carb + healthy fats in the morning make my blood sugar happy :):):)

Taking a little mental-health-afternoon to check in with myself / do a little reading & writing. Life (and diabetes) can be exhausting, so I'm giving myself a break today.

Logged my first ride of the spring season! Pre ride bg: 160 + Banana before for a little sugar boost = post ride bg: 174. It doesn't always work so well, but isn't it great when it does?

Heyy!! Do I need a specific glycometer to use the dexcom app? And also an iphone?
You do not need a specific glucometer, you just manually enter numbers to calibrate (from any meter).... Not sure about the android app, though. Good luck!

Suuuuper cute post-spin mirror selfie because I'm proud to be back on a (sort of) bike and proud of my hustle working on my thesis over spring break.

Just fun stuff like
When you work super hard for a 7.1 a1c and your eye doctor, meeting you for the first time, with no respect or understanding for your hustle, looks at you and says "you know it should really be below 7". 🙄
