The next post in "Sex, Chronic Illness, and Mental Health: the Series" asks "is diabetes sexy?"
Giving a Diabetes App a Chance
I’ll be frank. I don’t log. I’m not good at logging. I barely bother. I also still avoid technology that isn't my pump or CGM when it comes to my health (my anxiety makes it all a little complicated- but I have been working on it!). Maybe... occasionally...

This also needs a disclaimer- please remember I am NOT a medical professional. … Continue reading Running a 1/2 Marathon with T1D (and other things)
