The Honest Diabetic

Having had Diabetes now for over 20 years, I have lots of stories, experiences, highs and lows to report, and write about. I have recently started a new blog is to talk about these openly and to make people realise that they are not the only ones facing challenges, and that this disease shouldn't stop you doing anything. 

Please go and find my blog at www.thehonestdiabetic.co.uk.

I’ve had Diabetes since I was 7, I am now 33 with a complete wealth of stories and experiences related to living with Diabetes for such a long time. I’ve had highs and lows and think that most people out there with Diabetes are the same, and those that are newer to the disease hopefully this blog will prepare you for some of challenges you may face. I think everyone would agree that there are challenges, however I have always had the mentality that my disease will not get in the way of me doing anything that I want to do. This should be the way everyone lives their life but this isn’t the case in many cases.

I will blog randomly about incidents, stories, happy times, sad times, scary times so that others can compare and contrast their lives with mine. I will write openly and honestly, as I know I have lied to myself in the past about my control, and now that I am better controlled than I ever have been before I see that there was no point to doing this, as how can people help you properly if you have told a white lie here or there.

I hope Diabetics can relate to my posts, and that you all realise that life with Diabetes is very difficult. We all manage to the best of our abilities and continue to do so every day of our lives.
