I’ve been thinking for a long time about whether to share this part of my life.
I live with Type 2 diabetes and digestive conditions that affect my daily routine more than most people realize. Some days are manageable. Other days are quiet battles that don’t always show on the outside.
I’m a nurse, and this is my sixth year living with diabetes. Even with medical knowledge, navigating chronic illness from the inside has been a humbling, ongoing learning experience.
I’m starting this space not because I have everything figured out, but because I don’t. I want a place to be honest about the ups, the downs, the frustrations, and the small wins that come with managing a chronic condition.
If you’re on a similar journey, I hope this reminds you that you’re not alone. And if you’re not, thank you for listening.
