Thanks for sharing all these. I have no idea. I have a friend have problem with insulin but I never understand what’s going on with her when I was young. Now I know. And totally understand that it’s a bit weird to share so much personal information on your blog. But it’s really inspiring and probably can help other people to understand more about T1D or at least be considerate.

Wow.. you are so brave to share this. Thank you.

I have been struggling with several invisible illnesses since I was 12 years old, and know firsthand how hard it can be. People can be so judgmental, ignorant and downright nasty about these things.

Your post inspired me so much – still debating whether or not I can be brave enough to post my own 30 things.

I never really think of my stuff as interesting, probably because it’s boring and mundane to me :P

At the end of the day there really isn’t anything to do but get on with it!!

I’ve only received support and rapport with people when I’ve admitted my own mental illnesses! I really encourage everyone to come out and talk about their own experiences. I think making it taboo causes an extra layer of problems that doesn’t help us at all!
