TODAY - DAY 13 - Injecting in my bum? The first fears of injecting yourself. AND alarms in the middle of the night getting into your dreams...

Hi, I'm John and I've set myself one simple challenge: 30 days to finally get a grip... before diabetes gets a grip on me.  A short daily podcast, reflecting my 24 hours and my 10 years of stories.

This is just me trying to keep myself accountable. Saying it out loud - so I can't ignore it anymore. And hopefully making a few friends along the way too.

If you've ever looked around and thought everyone else seems to have diabetes completely sorted, come and have a look at my mess.

It's not perfect diabetes. But it is honest diabetes.

If any of this sounds like you, hit subscribe and come along for the ride. Maybe we can remind each other that we're not nearly as alone, as we sometimes think.

Hi, I'm John.

Last year I lost my job. I've just turned 50. My back's a mess.

And my HbA1c isn't where I want it to be.

I've had Type 1 diabetes for ten years and if I'm honest, I've mostly just been winging it.

Lately I've felt like I'm slipping into a bit of a spiral. I'm clearly at a crunch point.

So I've set myself one simple challenge: 30 days to finally get a grip... before diabetes gets a grip on me.  A short daily podcast, reflecting my 24 hours and my 10 years of stories.

And just so you know, I'm not selling you anything.   There's already enough diabetes content trying to sell you a course, a programme or the "right" way to do it. It gets exhausting.

This is just me trying to keep myself accountable. Saying it out loud - so I can't ignore it anymore. And hopefully making a few friends along the way too.

If you're feeling burnt out by Type 1 diabetes, fed up with trying to be perfect, or simply feel like you're making it up as you go along, you're not alone.

I'm John, and I'm Type 1 Diabetic. And I've been winging it for too long.

Time to get a grip...

For 30 days, I'm keeping an honest daily diary of life with Type 1 diabetes. Can it help? Have a listen to my little idea...
