About Me

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to my website! This is a place for online community regarding the successes and struggles of diabetes. My name is Marlee and I have been a type 1 diabetic since I was 7 years old. I was born and raised in the midwest, and am currently working in a library. I graduated college with an English Degree, and still spend my time freelance writing on the side. Over the years, I have had an idea to create a blog showcasing what it is like living with diabetes. The things most people don’t know we deal with all day, everyday.

I am not one to live my life in the doom and gloom of this disease, but it is important to understand how to take care of yourself and how serious it can be if you don’t. So I will mostly be talking about my lifetime of experience, while hoping others out there will educate me on their experiences. I want those living with diabetes to find a community that understands them, but I also want those who just want to learn more, find answers and tips to help the people around them. And if you fit into neither of those cateogories and are just interested in my life, I say WELCOME! I hope you walk a way learning something new!

I am planning on shedding light on certain issues we face as diabetics, as well as, sharing many memes and funny stories, because without that, things become very heavy very quickly. So, if you are interested in those things, follow my instagram account @dayandnightdiabetic, for all your meme and humor needs. I will also post whenever I write a new blog, so you can stay up to date!

Lastly, please reach out with comments or questions either on here or instagram! I will try and help answer as much as I can, and give you any information I have learned. I am here to help you and hopefully, help myself, so we can become better diabetics all around!

See you soon!
