F**k A Pancreas

Many people use the word “diabetes” in a phrase when making a joke. “That's straight-up diabetes” and “I’m going to become a diabetic after eating this” are both phrases I hear on a daily basis. What is unknown to non-diabetics is that there are two types of diabetes, most only think there is one which you get because the person is unhealthy or overweight. I am a type 1 diabetic not by choice, but because my body decided it did not want to be friends with my pancreas. I was born with this disease like many other individuals and this project shows the life of a diabetic with all its rough edges, the truth about how it feels to depend on technology.
