@amillionlittlepages Saturday (11/14) was World Diabetes Day 🌍 and the month of November is Diabetes Awareness Month, so I figured better late than never for sharing a #mondaysbluesstack of my some hopefuls as well as a big piece of who I am! I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes over 12 years ago when I was fifteen years old, and I’m attached to two robot parts 24/7/365 as a result! 💪🏼 Studies have shown that, on average, individuals living with Type 1 Diabetes make 180 extra decisions each day. Should I take X amount of insulin to cover the carbs in what I’m about to eat? Should I reduce the amount of insulin I’m receiving while I workout to avoid going low - and increase it afterwards to avoid spiking high? Will I need to adjust my overnight settings to hopefully avoid Dexcom alarms waking me up? Do I change my pump now while I have a few minutes to spare, or wait until it expires at midnight? Is it a good idea to chug some juice to avoid an impending low? 180 extra decisions. Thoughts like these are on a constant loop in my head, and are the driving factor behind when/what I eat, how productive I am at work, when/if I workout, how enjoyable I am to be around when social, when/how much I sleep . . . behind everything I do. That’s why on World Diabetes Day, I celebrate the men and women who have taken this diagnosis and these 180 extra daily decisions and, rather than allow them to completely consume their day-to-day, have instead become stronger because of them. This day celebrates and brings attention those who live, day in and day out, with the constant weight of responsibility, the lows, the highs, the guilt, the fear, the anxiety, and the countless alarms, site changes, and finger pricks. Life with Type 1 can be heavy, but it can also spark resilience, determination, and confidence. And for that, I celebrate this day and continue to drive towards a cure 💙✨ While I try to reserve this space for mostly bookish thoughts and conversations, I’ve been toying with showing everyone “diabetes in real time” via my stories one day - is this something y’all are interested in?! Technology is fascinating and makes my daily life a lot more manageable 🙌🏼

About the Book



"When someone asks you to spend your life with him, it shouldn't come as a surprise--or happen in front of 45,000 people. When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game with her actor boyfriend, his man bun, and his bros, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't the hard part--they've only been dating for five months, and he can't even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans. At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik's rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He's even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik's social media blows up--in a bad way. Nik knows that in the wilds of LA, a handsome doctor like Carlos can't be looking for anything serious, so she embarks on an epic rebound with him, filled with food, fun, and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, one of them has to be smart enough to put on the brakes"--
