I hugged my husband the other day and accidentally collided with his phone in his pocket kind of hard. I thought, “Oh my gosh…his pod!”
…and then I remembered that _I’m_ the podder in the family…
Wow. 😬

I often forget I’m a diabetic. It’s probably why I can’t get my A1c under 7. 😆 🤔

I never forget that I am diabetic. But it doesn’t rule my life. Like, do you ever forget to breathe?
It’s like when I want to have a hot fudge sundae. I know I better take some extra insulin before I do, and watch my Bg closely for a few hours. But I still have the sundae.

I think the only time I’ve forgotten I was a diabetic is when I’ve had one too many glasses of wine 😁

I think of my life and T1D lifestyle as normal; it’s everyone else who is unusual 🤣 🤣
