[ #ocsky ] Harini 🍎🌿
I absolutely love the apple/strawberry-motif of her!!
#disabledartist #type1diabetes #characterdesign

The image contains a brown woman standing against a pink laced square background. She has red glasses, and green curly hair tied into pigtails, with a strawberry and cherry clip on either side at the top of her head. She has a glucose monitor on her left shoulder, a pink and yellow strawberry puffer jacket, and a plaid flow-y shirt with a small red bow in the center, and green spaghetti straps with strawberries dangling down to her waist. She has an apple purse at her hip that hangs off of her left shoulder, and jean capris with cherries at all around the bottoms of them. She has frilly white socks, and brown shoes with the designs of a caterpillar coming out of an apple on the left, and an apple core on the right TEXT: Harini, 24 years old, she/her, Baghdadi Jew /

Last night my dexcom alarm went off like a million times, and while I appreciate it AND it was correct that my blood sugar kept going low, today I woke up feeling like I had a bad hangover. Anyone else having one of those days? 🩵 #type1diabetes #bloodsugar

@evenicholls.bsky.social

Guess whose HbA1c (average blood glucose for the last 2-3 months) has gone from 86 at diagnosis in May to 48! (For folks using the other measurement system, it's gone from 10% to 6.5%.)

Really lovely endocrinologist, and she was very pleased with my progress.

#T1D #Type1Diabetes

Image description: a chart for HbA1c, showing risk rating of diabetic complications.

42-57 mmol/mol is in green for Low, with the comments, "Excellent diabetes control!" and, "You're doing great!"

57-76 is yellow for medium risk, with the comment, "Need a little help?"

76-86 is dark pink, with the comment, "It's time to make changes."

86-119 is red for high risk, with, "You're at risk for DKA. Let is help you now!!"

DKA stands for diabetic ketoacidosis, which is life-threatening and usually requires hospitalisation. I was lucky to get diagnosed before I developed DKA.

Do you have a little one in your life who is feeling alone because they have to use an insulin pump?

If so, you may wanna get them this book! It's written by a friend of mine. She channeled her childhood shame into an empowering story to help kids! How cool!
