I didn’t get to choose. My immune system attacked itself, and I had no option or say in this. I spend every day struggling to stay healthy, because my life depends on it. Without insulin, I’ll die. Insulin isn’t a cure, either, its a life support. Until a cure is found, I’ll spend every day watching my blood sugars 24/7, counting carbs, injecting insulin, pricking my fingers with needles, and thin

king about this life-threatening disease 24/7. Every day. For the rest of my life. And, even though I didn’t choose this life, I am strong enough to live it. My strength represents the incredibly difficult journey I’ve been on that will hopefully provide the faith and inspiration to others who are going through difficult issues of their own. The reason I’m posting this is because today is World Diabetes Day. Not a lot of people are aware of diabetes, and what it really is. So, as my followers and friends, I am asking you to help me spread awareness on this day! I HAVE DIABETES, DIABETES DOES NOT HAVE ME!

This girl was a type one diabetic who lost her life to a low blood sugar while she was sleep. It is a tragedy that such a young girl died from something we sometimes have very little to no control over. People don’t always believe diabetes is serious, but she is a prime example of how scary and dangerous it is. I’ve heard from just about everyone that when a diabetic goes low in their sleep they wake up and not to worry, and no one believed me that sometimes the low doesn’t wake us up. Now the world knows. Everyone should send up a prayer for Nicole Wilson in hopes that she is now in the arms of God and for her family, who I am sure are devastated that they lost their daughter to this disease. Please repost, hash tagging #singfornicole.

So, this is pretty shocking. 234 girls were abducted from their boarding school in Chibok in Nigeria on April 15th. Most of them are between the ages of 16 and 18. It is known that they were abducted by the terrorist group Boko Haram, and it is believed that the girls are being sold as wives, and are now involved in human traficking. It is even known roughly where they are being kept. There has been very little response from the Nigerian government, in fact even telling international media that a large number had been found when they hadn’t. The Nigerian army is also very inefficient at dealing with this kind of crisis. The Nigerian people have been holding mass protests and fundraising to send out private search parties into the jungle. Now there is a call for international governments to lend a hand, these girls have done nothing to deserve to suffer at the hands of a corrupt and unjust government.

As usual with third world affairs, I’ve seen very little about this on tumblr, and there’s been an international social media campaign to raise awareness about this. Can you imagine in 234 girls went missing from the UK, USA or Europe?! If you call yourself a feminist, then you have a duty to care about women’s rights internationally, and this a pretty big infringement of those rights.

Please spread the message about this, and go and find out about it! You can sign this petition to the Nigerian President or this one to the White House.. Or you could donate to a human rights organisation such as Amnesty International, who have even set up a tumblr to show support for the girls.

I’m just shocked at the lack of media coverage this is getting, and more people need to be aware of this!

SIGNAL BOOSTING THIS!!
