Life Without Insulin

Hey there! I recently found out I have an unusually high susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (thanks mum), I decided something needed to change. So I started this blog to stay motivated and to share my story with others. I couldn't imagine a life without insulin.

Off Topic [Tuesday 2nd May 2017]

I've been trying really hard to keep up with the healthy eating and it is working, I feel so much better. But I'm not sure how long I can keep it up. This weekend I am going camping with some friends in the Lake District. It's going to be really cool, I've always loved camping and we're doing a run/camp thing where we run to our camping spot each day, should be running about twelve miles a day. This is the point where you think I am mad. I've started packing my rucksack and went shopping to get food but I quickly realised, how do you be healthy and full at the same time when you need 3000 calories a day? I guess it won't be too bad as I am doing a lot of exercise. Still wondering about what I could eat that's healthy. Just done some research, I found some protein bars that are really low in sugar. I bet they taste disgusting though. 25g of protein, I'm going to be ripped by next Monday. I also have my 1000 calorie ration packs. I think I ha...

Addicted To Sugar [Sunday 30th April 2017]

This May (see what I did there?) be harder than I thought, I now understand why people give up diets so quickly. I feel like I am going to die... I'm not a hypochondriac, honest, but the lack of sugar is making me feel terrible. I've got the shakes! I feel like a recovering alcoholic; soon I'll be at SA meetings (sugar anonymous) talking about my past. Not a nice thought, at all. Today is Sunday which means moaning about the shit on British TV and getting progressively tireder throughout the day without doing anything at all. So sorry this is going to be a pretty boring post, don't know what else to say. Ooh I did some pretty painful core exercises this morning and now it hurts when I laugh; good thing I don't laugh often. *The Sound Of Silence Plays* Sorry about the bad jokes, I did warn you :D blame the healthiness.

Gone Campin' [Friday 5th May 2017]

Happy one week anniversary everyone! I cannot believe how popular this blog is after just one week, I cannot thank you all enough for the support and motivation! I've packed my rucksack, ate a huge (but healthy) meal and made sure I have enough tea for the weekend. I don't know why, but I'm taking so much stuff. I've filled a 90L rucksack, if you're not sure how big that is, I can crouch and have the top flap pulled over and buckled shut. It is enormous. Most of it is spare clothes, the forecast is torrential rain which I am not looking forward to, it should be fun though . A lot of people are really annoying me at the moment and I can't wait to leave them and their stupid faces behind. I hope you guys are doing well. TGIF! Slowly I am getting used the healthy ways. I've started going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time usually eight hours late; this is the best idea I've ever had. It's so satisfying not being sleepy at school...
