I don't want to talk about it.

It is November.

November is Diabetes awareness month.

Last year I spent the entire month posting facts every day about the disease that our family and many of our friends deal with on a daily basis. (you can read last years posts under the Facts about T1 Diabetes tab at the top of my blog)

This year, you wouldn't even know diabetes was such a huge part of our lives. Not because it has gone anywhere. Not because I don't think about the stupid disease all.the.time. Because I do, of course. I spend every waking moment, and some sleeping ones too (weird dreams, so not fair to dream about diabetes).

The thing is, I just don't want to talk about it.

I am tired of this disease.

My Superhero is tired of this disease.

I don't want to talk about the fact that his last A1C was higher than it has been in a year and a half.

I don't want to talk about the fact that I have let pump sites go as long as 8 days before changing them because I am so incredibly busy that I can't keep my days straight. And I only changed it then because we had our very first low cartridge warning.

Even though I know THIS is our month to educate and inform the public about a disease that can take my kid's life, or any of theirs for that matter, I don't want to talk about it.

Major Diabetes burnout going on here.

And I don't want to talk about it.
