There's More to the Story: a blog about LIFE, chronic illness, and Mental Health

I’m the loud and relentless "patient" voice and advocate they warned you about. I happen to have type 1 diabetes, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues, asthma, allergies, lactose intolerance (and more), but there’s more to story.

Happy Birthday to the loves of my life, Lilo & Stitch. 💜 🐾 To the snuggle bugs always posing for me and always watching me. but mostly importantly. Always there for me. Can’t believe you’re 3- but you’re still kittens to me! Here’s to being cat toy snobs- just like how I’m a beer snob- today and every day! (and thanks for waking me up last night when my CGM didn’t to discover I had been “HIGH” for hours so I could correct). #LiloAndStitchTheTorties #catmom #catsnotkids #t1d

Camp taught me a lot about living with the betes’, life, what family should be, and so much more. But most importantly it provided the foundation for my light at the end of the tunnel mindset during the teen years. I wanted to feel just as happy as I did at camp but all year round. I wanted to feel I could be myself and be accepted by people in my life like at camp- scars, mistakes, history, quirks, and all. Because of camp I knew it was possible- that I could- be in a better place mentally... a better setting with people who loved me for me... make better decisions... -to make sure that I felt like I did at camp. (Spoiler I did start to in college!). I hate #diabetes so much and what it does to the people I love. But I love @thecampkudzu and the amazing family in my life as a result. #campkudzu #campkudzuturns20 #diabetescamp #t1d
