My older brother Christopher passed away twenty years ago at the age of sixteen from hypoglycemia. There were no CGMs back then. Diagnosed as type1 at age five, he suffered from hypoglycemia unawareness. I was diagnosed at age 12.When I suffer diabetes burnout and just don’t feel able to take care of myself, I think of him and keep going. He may not be here to keep fighting, but I can. Project Blue November’s first Instagram challenge was “Family”, so I posted this photo yesterday. Now I am sharing here as a reminder that type1 is still very much a monster that can take a life. It can crush a spirit. But we can keep fighting, not only for ourselves but for those who didn’t make it. -- source link
