Do you ever feel like a superhero?

lol so im flipping the script here from the usual talk about burnout to ask something completely different: do you ever feel like an actual superhero ...or maybe a wizard? I mean, think about it. We calculate how much insulin our bodies need (even if we don’t always nail it perfectly) and we literally keep ourselves alive every single day.

We’re walking a very tightrope between life and death, and we own that balance. People train for marathons, swim across oceans, climb mountains, or even race in Nascar and some of them have diabetes too. The level of control and dedication it takes to do what we do every single day is wild. It’s like being an Olympic athlete, but with an even higher stakes game, because it’s not just about excelling; it’s about survival and thriving at the same time.

And when you take a sec to step back to think about it, 100 years ago, this would have been a death sentence for all of us. But now, we have the tools and technology to live lives that get closer to “normal” every single day. Honestly, it’s pretty amazing to think we’re essentially walking, talking cyborgs lol

Just a random thought, but yeah.....pretty cool when you think about it that way. 🤷‍♂️

PS: I want off this ride too, but at least I can still do the things I love and live a long happy life if I choose to. Mindset is key!! stay strong dia-warriors
