<\/p>\n
I have reached a horrifying age: everyone I know is talking about marriage, buying houses, and having babies. The shift has happened over the past year or so. My friends began to move in with their significant others, a few got engaged, and a few got married. I expected this day to come, but what I didn\u2019t expect was how much of it would involve my friends in the diabetes community. When a person with diabetes finds a great partner they gain much more than love and happiness. They gain a comrade in their never-ending diabetes management.<\/p>\n
I often see my friends\u2019 social media posts about how thankful they are for their spouses or significant others, and how they\u2019d never be able to manage their diabetes care without them. This got me thinking that it\u2019s time to hear the voice (or read the status updates or tweets) of a single person with diabetes. So here you have it:<\/p>\n
Why can\u2019t the cat bring me glucose tablets? #UseYourPaws<\/strong><\/p>\n Lantus. No, that\u2019s not the new Toyota SUV. It\u2019s the insulin I needed to inject three hours ago. #SetAlarm<\/strong><\/p>\n That moment you mistake your buzzing CGM for the alarm clock and throw it at the wall. #NoOneHereToStopMe<\/strong><\/p>\n Why can\u2019t the cat pour me a glass of orange juice? #Can’tCryOverSpilledJuice<\/strong><\/p>\n I sleep with a different brand of glucose tablets every night. #Don\u2019tJudge.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mom, please<\/em> nag me about my diabetes. #defeated<\/strong><\/p>\n Purring counts as emotional support. #CatTherapy<\/strong><\/p>\n #Armyof1<\/strong><\/p>\n A true friend is someone who calls and wakes you five times during the night. #HowLowCanYouGo<\/strong><\/p>\n Alone, but not lonely. I always have diabetes with me! #MakingTheBestOfIt<\/strong><\/p>\n Cheers to all you other single people out there with diabetes, I feel as though we don\u2019t get as much credit as we deserve. Here\u2019s to every #single one of us!<\/p>\n #SingleWithDiabetesAndRockingIt #ButHeyKittyLearnToHelpMe<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Single with diabetes.
