I'm not quite sure what led me to start this blog. Well - let me back up. I'll let you in on what I was feeling before I decided to start it. I was tired of feeling defeated by diabetes and went to see my doctor about it. And it occurred to me that there were others out there that might be feeling defeated as well and were tired of those who minimize our condition and what it takes to control it.
Also, there might be some folks out there that know and love people with this disease - but don't know much about it. Or they may know the logical, medical information but not the emotion that can go along with it.
There are some diabetics that are able to snap right into shape after diagnosis in maintaining a healthy blood glucose level. I am infinitely proud of them because it takes will and self-control. But there are also some of us who have a few challenges (okay, a lot) - and maybe need to hear someone else vocalizing what they are feeling. And that's okay. This here thing is a journey.
I will celebrate in this blog. I will laugh, I will surely cry, I might curse (reformed pottymouth), and I will release. And I will talk about any and everything I need to - as I am Val before I am a diabetic. My only rule in this blog is that I cannot lie to myself. This is my safe place.
Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your stay.
