This week is Diabetes Blog week, and today's topic is "Why are we here?". Why do we blog about diabetes, how does blogging benefit us, and what message do we want to portray through blogging? The message I want to portray through blogging is how tough living with Type 1 Diabetes is.
For me personally, I blog about diabetes
because it helps me express my feelings towards diabetes, which I find
difficult to do in real life. Blogging gives me an outlet in which I can pour
all of my feelings and knowledge into, and share with the rest of the diabetes
online community, and my friends and family. A lot of people don't understand
how hard it is to live with Type 1 Diabetes, and I like letting people know
that it does put me under a lot of stress. You know what they say,
"You don't know what it's like unless
you've lived it", and I am trying to let those who are not living it know
what it's like.
The most important diabetes awareness
message I would like to put out there is how hard living with type 1 diabetes is,
and how much having it affects my everyday life. I often appear as if I am
getting along perfectly fine, as that is the front I put on around others.
Inside, my mind is always thinking about my Type 1, and how my next move will
affect it. My family and friends don't understand how much having high blood
sugar affects me, or how long after a hypo I feel the effects of it. I try to
let my readers know that it does affect me a lot, but treat me as normal as
possible, because there is nothing worse than getting opportunities denied
because of diabetes.
I blog because I hope that the
misconceptions about Type 1 Diabetes can be overturned, and people will
understand Type 1 Diabetes better. I blog because I want people to read about
diabetes, and be genuinely interested, so that if they meet a diabetic in the
future, they will understand them as well.
I want people to be more educated about
the implications of Type 1 Diabetes.
That's why I blog, and that is the message
I wish to portray through blogging.
Until Next Time,
