The Beast

I've had diabetes (lovingly referred to as The Beast) for 17 years now. For 17 years I've been placating The Beast and at times straight up ignoring The Beast. But as of late I've decided that The Beast must not win. For the first time in my life I'm acknowledging it's presence and respectfully saying go screw. This is my honest, sometimes brutal account of life with The Beast. Maybe you'll learn something here, maybe you'll share my pain or maybe you can teach me something. Because one thing I know for sure, this isn't something you can do alone. Taming The Beast takes a village.
