About

I want to talk about life with type one diabetes. 

Not how to manage hypos, not carb counting, not complications.

I want to talk about life. 

My name’s Justine, and I live with type one diabetes. I started this blog because it seems to me that, while lots of people have type one, and lots of people understand what the condition is and how it’s treated, there’s not that much discussion about the impact the condition can have on our daily lives. I’m not a doctor, I don’t have any expertise- just 14 years of life experience with the condition. I want to share some of my life stories, the lessons learned, the things I wish people without the condition understood, the things I wish I understood five or ten years ago, and the things I wish I understood right now. Ultimately, this isn’t a blog about a medical condition: it’s a blog about life.
