16. I bet every day is a new adventure.

Type 1 diabetes is, as deaf people say, funnny No.
My son in law has it and after 35 years with it, finally got insurance and got a pump. But you are right, he always struggles with it. The sensor breaks or the cannula comes out. Ten things can go wrong at anytime. And living rural means no close pharmacy and everything by mail and insurance becomes more and more undependable the longer at Orange ass is in the oval Office. Keep fighting for your life Lucky. Maybe set an alarm on your phone on gummy nights. 🫶🏼
