Happy Diabetes Awareness month! As we reach the end, I have some thoughts to share. First, it's been really cool to see so much (more than ever before) on diabetes. But also, quite odd, and surprisingly a little sombre. Diabetes awareness month is pretty much the only time I ever see anything outside my own social sphere on diabetes. I often see lots of influencers, news articles, and many shades of blue.

It's been quite some time since I last posted a blog. The truth is I've been very busy and burnt out, with little space to dedicate to my usual fun, creative outlets. Things I used to love, like my guitar, are sitting in a centimetre of dust and my body feels like it is too. Last Friday I dug myself out for my PhD viva.
