A survey request

So I don't really know if anyone will see this, but hopefully this survey can get out :)

I'm currently completing my HSC (the highest secondary qualification in NSW, Australia) and as a part of this I am conducting research into how the media presents diabetes.

Blog readers (it seems I have a few), I need your help! If you are a diabetic, please follow this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q2D2GNV

If you are a non diabetic and haven't completed this survey (either in paper or digital format), please follow this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QCMC95X

Thank you! Back to regular posts on Thursday :)

Diabetes Blog Week 2016: Message Monday

Today kicks off the seventh annual Diabetes Blog Week. Thanks as always to the lovely Karen at bittersweetdiabetes.com for hosting this event. I’ll be doing the 5-day post schedule rather than 7 this year. Day One is Message Monday " Lets kick off the week by talking about why we are here, in the diabetes blog space. What is the most important diabetes awareness message to you? Why is that message important for you, and what are you trying to accomplish by sharing it on your blog? ” Interesting topic. My blog is sometimes a laugh, sometimes educational, and sometimes a massive rant-fest. But I think there’s still a common theme through all of it. No one deserves a chronic illness. No one deserves to be told they brought it on themselves. No one deserves to have such an enormous part of their life judged, minimised, or made into a joke. Like so many others I’ve heard everything you can think of about Type 1. It’s like people have no filter. “Guess you should h...

D Blog Week 2017: Diabetes and the Unexpected

"Diabetes can sometimes seem to play by a rulebook that makes no sense, tossing out unexpected challenges at random.  What are your best tips for being prepared when the unexpected happens?  Or, take this topic another way and tell us about some good things diabetes has brought into your, or your loved one’s, life that you never could have expected?" Happy DBlog Week! Thank you once again to Karen at Bittersweet Diabetes for running the show. I can't believe I've made it to my 5th blog week, it seems like just yesterday I started my blog in 2013, right before blog week. I was so nervous entering it as a brand new blogger. But here we are, 5 years later and I can call many of my fellow bloggers my friends.  On to the topic. I've decided to tackle this topic using the second interpretation- what good has diabetes brought to my life?  I saw this topic and went back to my old blog posts to see what I've said in the past about silver l...

D Blog Week 2017: What Brings Me Down

"Today let’s revist a  prompt from 2014  - May is  Mental Health Month  so now seems like a great time to explore the emotional side of living with, or caring for someone with, diabetes. What things can make dealing with diabetes an emotional issue for you and / or your loved one, and how do you cope?" Diabetes Blog Week was the first time I spoke properly about mental health on my blog. You can read that post here. I was absolutely terrified about posting that.   I'm quite proud of 2015 Bec, but looking back it makes me laugh. Mostly because I was insistent that I hadn't experienced burnout or depression. Oh the denial.  So it feels like coming full circle back to this prompt.  Diabetes is by nature an emotional experience. Shifts in blood sugar change your mood. Sleep deprivation changes your mood.  T1 is a chronic condition. It never goes away. It never gets better. Sometimes it gets worse. That is the shitty nature of a chronic condi...
