Crumbling Pavlova

Whilst remaking the bed today, after a day of washing and general housework, I was reminded of why I started this blog 💙

When diagnosed quite late in life as a Type 1 diabetic I remember feeling confused and upset.  Perhaps more than anything though I was angry how much this chronic ilness prevented me from doing things as freely as I had before.

I was frustrated by having to plan and fuel every activity, both pleasurable and not so nice.  Today I had to stop and re-fuel several times as I was obviously a little too enthusiastic in my cleaning.  But you know what I didn’t beat myself up about it, I simply stopped and ate a jellybean or two until I felt ready again.

So for what its worth I would like to remind you that you are so much more than cleaning the bathroom. 

That can wait, diabetes can’t 💙💙💙
