  1. Until the American Diabetes Association locates its spine, DO NOT DONATE TO THEM. Signed --A Diabetic

    "The boycott letter has already received hundreds of signatures, Steven Kahn, professor of medicine at the University of Washington, told Fierce, including “former presidents of the association, major prize winners, award winners of the association [and] people who are leaders in international diabetes.”

    Kahn was one of the five ADA members forcibly removed from the annual conference in New Orleans this year after distributing an editorial criticizing the Trump administration’s cuts to federal science spending. Kahn, who is also editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care, was lead author of that editorial."

  2. More eye examinations today. Left eye injection now tomorrow for the #diabetic #retinopathy with private laser on the cataracts next week followed by NHS laser 3 months later for the macular swelling. Progress at last. After next week I may have more than 50% of my vision back in my left eye!

  3. Here’s why it’s important that #autism is considered a disability. When I applied for both #PWD and the #DTC when I became an adult, only PWD approved me and the DTC rejected me, as they said being autistic is not a disability despite the fact it very much is a disability to me, as it can make communicating challenging for me. Fast forward 8 years later, and I was diagnosed as a type 1 #diabetic, which the DTC considers as automatic approval criteria, so I applied again and this time, I got approved. The thing is, while #diabetes can be a disability for many especially with difficult to control #glucose as well as the financial cost with all the supplies and #insulin needed to manage it, I’ve not found it anywhere near as disabling to me yet compared to being autistic. So if #type1diabetes automatically gets you on the DTC, why is being #autistic not considered a disability despite the fact it’s prevented me from getting a job to financially support myself? This is very much why I am against it when advocates claim autism isn’t a disability, or when people try to replace the term with something like “#diverseabilities”. Because a #disability is after all something that prevents you from doing something, and the term reflects that accurately. #disabled

  4. I had no room for tags

    Im getting so tired friends. Im trying to maintain a neutral mindset at least, opposed to negative or complaining. Its just genuinely so stressful when you don't know when, how, or IF any relief will come.

    It was supposed to be a rest day because tomorrow im out of the house
    Sigh
