hey so uh. three years ago i was rationing my insulin, homeless, without a car, denied for SSI 3x. last year i dropped my a1c from 11.9 to 8.7 all by myself—no cgm, just a shitty broken medtronic pump. this year i’ve stayed under 7.6 all year. i’m really shocked right now
last week i was complaining bc my a1c went up .3 points & i felt defeated & like i was backtracking. this popped up in my memories & reminded me just how fucking far i’ve come & that i did this all entirely myself, for myself. i now have SSI & medicaid, a car, t:slim & dexcom...
it wasn’t an easy battle at all and still isn’t. but this made me so grateful to my younger self. who was scared shitless, defeated, angry, broken, lost, but fought through anyways. who saw a better future for myself & worked tirelessly at it despite the road blocks.
thank you self. for being who you are. for the effort, tears, endurance, sweat, blood (literally), & strength that you put into us. i am so proud of myself & where i’ve come. even if it’s not exactly where i want to be, it’s not where i was before, & that alone is enough.
