Pink Makes Everything Pretty

I am not a Type 1 Diabetic. I am not a Type 2 Diabetic. I am a LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adulthood). It is completely different from the other 2 types and it is much more rare. The more I delve into the world of "The Beetus" the more educated/overwhelmed I become. Everything I read points a different direction! Instead of dipping my toe into the pool of diabetes information, I feel like I am being sprayed with a fire-hose...in the face...during a hurricane.

Today, I had more unsolicited advice from a non-diabetic. Someone found out I have just been diagnosed with The Beetus and said, "Doesn't cinnamon cure diabetes?" On the outside I did a polite smile, but on the inside I was like:

Someday there might be a cure for diabetes. Unfortunately, there is no cure for stupidity.

Now that I'm done ranting about that, it's time to focus on the positives of having The Beetus. You know you are a total girly-girl when you can't decide if you want a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) until you discover it comes in PINK. Gasp! PIIIIIIINK! I'll pretty much carry any accessory that comes in pink. Throw in some glitter (and oh yeah, the fact that it can save my life or whatever) and I'm sold!

In other news, I have a new friend crush. She has her own Facebook page and YouTube channel. Her name is "Diabetic Danica" and I am obsessed with all of her videos. She is super cute and perky and I feel like we would be BFFs if we ever met in real life. We both have The Beetus and we both love pink. How much more does one friendship need!?
