The seasons are changing, and for me it is a time for new beginnings. I look forward to these changes and know that blessings are ahead for me.

Happy Fall Season from Red Sugar Life!

 

Welcome To RedSugar.Life! I’m Luna, creator and author of RedSugar.Life™ / Red Sugar Life™ and I suffer from Type 1 diabetes with insulin resistance. See more on my ABOUT ME page.

So what does ‘Red Sugar Life’ mean? Well, Red Sugar Life™ is a term I created as a way for me to describe MY LIFE as a Type 1.5 diabetic.  In short, Type 1.5 diabetes means I am a type 1 diabetic but I also battle insulin resistance. With type 1.5 diabetes (also known as mixed-type diabetes) pretty much my whole life is governed by my constant battle to keep my blood sugar levels within a normal range for me due to insulin resistance and other factors, as well as battling all of the issues that come with having a genetic autoimmune disease.

Yes, Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Type 1 diabetes is NOT preventable nor curable and its cause has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle, or weight. It’s like a job I can never clock out of, no matter how tired of it I may be or how hard I work. It’s exhausting!

I needed a space for me to be able to speak about MY reality as a diabetic, so I created one. RedSugar.Life is my space for me to talk about some of my unique experiences and struggles as a diabetic and my point of view. I also write about some aspects of my life as a Type 1.5 Diabetic, as well as share information about my diabetes, lifestyle, wellness, and other related topics of my choosing. No two diabetics are the same, and my personal experience as a Type 1/Type 1.5 diabetic is unique.

Enjoy reading,
