The name My Sweet Battle came to me a few years ago so I started a now-neglected Instagram page. Today I bought the URL and started a website which is how I am able to write this blog post.
This will be a space for sharing work and life stories all while also managing Type 1 Diabetes in the background. I didn't realize how hard I've been working on this behind the scenes until a few years ago, it's sort of like having another job. People with Type 1 Diabetes have to make over 100 more decisions in a day than a person who doesn't have this physical disability. That's quite the mental load.
I'm also creating My Sweet Battle partially to help others understand this condition. I am proud of all of the things I've accomplished while managing this disease but I'm also sad about some of the treatment I've received (and put up with) in mostly work situations but also in daily life situations.
I recently told someone I am in my tender badass era...I'm excited to see what comes out of this. I hope you like it.
