Happy Diabetes Awareness Month! :)

June 1, 2012 is the date that I will NEVER forget. It is the day that changed my life forever. Seriously. For 18 years of my life I was "normal". Then for now a year and a half it has been different. I now have to check my blood sugar and make sure that it is 120. No it does not mean that I can't have sugar..I can eat whatever I want!! I just now have to give myself insulin for everything that I eat. It is a scary thought. To make sure that I have enough insulin for what I have to eat. Its a life or death situation. Like I have said in my blogs there has been many people in my life to support me and help me get through this. They are here for me so I don't have to worry about if I am going to live or not. I am so thankful for them in my life! So this is the month for spreading awareness for diabetes! I am more than excited to celebrate this awful disease and make it something positive. This is the month where we should think positive about diabetes, and celebrate that we are all strong survivors and that we can get through this. It's really weird to think that this month is not only for my sister, but now for me. I never thought in my life that this month would be something that I would celebrate for myself. But we will make this a fun month and spread awareness! WEAR YOUR BLUE! :)

This Week Has Been Crazy!

So this week has been so crazy!! There have been days where I have been really high and the next day I was really low and couldn't get my blood sugar to go up. It is very frustrating to have to deal with this while working everyday. I just wish I didn't have to deal with this, I wish we all didn't have to deal with this. While having a crazy week people have been there for me like crazy! So I would like to thank everyone who has been there for me!

First to my mom and dad, thank you for taking care of me this week when I have been home! You guys mean everything to me! I love you! So lucky to have you as my parents!

Then to my wonderful sister for having all these girl nights with me and taking care of me and letting me vent! I love you!

Then to my love of my life. I love you so much, thank you for putting up with me when I am moody. Thank you for holding my hand and standing there right by my side this whole week even though we aren't actually together in person! I love you so so much!

Then to my best friend who I have only been friends with for only a couple of months, Sammi. You mean so much to me! You would do anything for me and of course I would do anything for you! You are a true blessing in my life and I am so happy you are in my life(:

I have known this girl for 13 years of my life and I am so glad that we are best friends! Thank you for caring for me and always being there for me! So happy to have you in my life(:

Then to my best friend Ash, even though you were going through a hard time this week you were there for me and I am beyond blessed and thankful to have you in my life and to care for me even when you aren't feeling well either. love you!

And to everyone else who has helped me through everything this week you all mean the world to me! I love you all and I really am blessed to know you all!!

Tired of this

So for the past 3 to 4 days my blood sugars have been low and I am just tired of it. I know I can get through this, it's just hard because it messes with my moods and makes me so tired. It has been putting me in moods and I have been taking it out on people and I am sorry about that! haha but seriously it's just so frustrating when you can't it control anything when your blood sugar goes low and all you want to do is just yell at people and just sleep. (Does anyone feel that some way or is it just me??) But if you sleep then you worry about what if your blood sugar goes lower and you can't wake up. I have tried everything and not over correcting  with the foods I eat. I have no idea what is going on!! But hopefully this gets better and I wont be so moody!

New Life, New Idea

So my first year of college is over! I finished and got it over with! Throughout my first year of college I thought that I would end up being a teacher. My whole goal in life is to help others so being a teacher I would help kids. Well at the end of my first year in college I have thought of something that I would enjoy doing more. I have decided to change my major to organizational leadership. I have chosen this major because I have decided to help out with JDRF. When I blog people tell me that they look up to me and that I am their role model. So today was the day! I have changed my major and I am happier than ever! I know that this is the right thing to do with my life and I will continue to help other diabetics get through this! I can do this!

Helping Out

I know I thank a lot of people for being there for me, but I really do mean it when I say it! After writing some blogs about my life people will message me and they will tell me that I am like a role model to them or they look up to me. Having people say that to me means EVERYTHING to me! It's what I love to do! I love to make people think that they can get through this, I love how something that I post on my blog can really touch someone. Who would like that me venting to the world about my diabetes would really change someones life. After getting type one I feel like I really do have a place here in the world, and a reason as to why I have this, and I think it's because I can help people. I feel like I need to help people with this and tell them that they can get though it and that they need to take care of themselves. I want to be that person that can help and change someone life. I feel like that's why I am here. If there is anything that you need to talk about with your diabetes just talk to me! I would love to help you! I am here for everyone!

Stay Strong

On Saturday I got my first tattoo ever! My parents said that they were going to take me out to dinner but instead they took me to get my first tattoo. It hurt really bad and I was shaking like CRAZY! I ended up getting a tattoo that pretty much means a lot to me. I got the words "Stay Strong". Obviously it's about my diabetes, and how I need to stay strong now, and forever. I got it as a reminder of when I am having a hard time with it, and when it's ruining my day. I know it's just a tattoo, but this tattoo means everything to me. There are times when I just want to give up on everything because of this disease and I feel like sometimes I just put on this fake smile and say that I am doing okay, but I have to act that way. I have a younger sister with type one also and if she sees me giving up then she will. I just have to think to myself that I can do this, that I don't need to be depressed about this, I need to stay strong and live my life. I need to get through this and live everyday happy and not mad about this. Yes I am mad but I am not going to show it and I am going to be happy and act happy. I will be strong and I will stay strong. Just remember to everyone who is reading this Stay Strong. 

My Friends

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can't believe that it's already 2013. It's weird to say that! But anyway 2012 was really a huge year with me. Of course everyone knows about, in June of 2012 I got diagnosed with type one diabetes. It has changed my life like CRAZY! After getting this terrible disease I have really realized who my true friends are. After graduating high school and getting diagnosed with this I really have realized from all of that who my friends are. I have gained many new friends that don't care that I have this disease. They will randomly ask me questions about it and I enjoy that they are interested with what I go through. And then there are people who have said to me that they will always be there for me and then when I got this disease they just stop talking to me. Yeah I blog about staying positive but it's hard to ALWAYS be positive about it. Having my "friends" say that they would be there for me and then they aren't kind of says something about them. If any of my friends got this disease or any other disease I would be there for them 100%. But hey it's life. I now know who my true friends are, and I want to thank them for always being there for me. You know who you are! All of you guys are amazing in every way and Thank you for everything that you do for me! I love you all!
