My name is Jamie, I've decided to start a blog so I can share my story with others. I've lived with type 1 diabetes since I was 16 and I still don't have it all figured out. It is definitely a roll coaster trying to keep up with all the ups and downs of this disease. Not only do diabetics constantly have to keep up, we have to try to stay one step ahead. It's a never ending battle.
If you live with someone with diabetes or have diabetes yourself you know what I mean when I talk about the 'constant' of diabetes. There is never a decision in my life that diabetes does not have a part in deciding the outcome.
Living with diabetes is not all bad though. Sometimes it can be lonely, but I've discovered there is a large community out there of people that struggle with the same things I do everyday. A couple years ago I discovered tudiabetes, and it made me feel like I was apart of something so much bigger.
Regardless of the struggles I have with diabetes, I have an amazing life full of love and laughter. I'm a mother of a beautiful 2 year old girl named Layla. This little bundle of joy is my whole world! I'm married to my high school sweet heart who is by my side no matter what. Not only do I have a family that I'm very passionate about taking care of... I'm also a full time student and work part-time with children who have special needs.
My plan for this blog is to just put it all out on the table. I know I need to take better care of myself and I know others feels the same way I do. I'm hoping this blog will force me to hold myself accountable and really step up to the plate.
These two are why I want to push myself to be the best person I can possibly be. Staying on top of my diabetes is one of the biggest thing I can do to be at my best for them. They are also what makes my life with diabetes so amazingly sweet.
