Hi! I’m Melissa,

I have been diabetic for 24, going on 25 years now, and I really do feel like I've been through it all. The early years where my parents managed my diabetes, the teenage rebellion, the DKAs, the eye scans...it's been some ride!

 

After years of trying and failing to really get my HBA1C under proper control, I have finally been put on the pump. The experience inspired me to start this blog; it was such a huge, life changing moment, but I wasn't aware of how life changing it would be until I went to have it fitted. I got home that day and thought, "I want to tell people about this, and I bet there are others who want people to hear what they have to say, too!".  

​

I want to hopefully help the diabetic community in the process of writing this. I want to bring a bit of fun, maybe a little bit of humour (emphasis on the little bit; I'm not that funny), and some hope to anyone out there who needs it right now.
