I don’t do anything. Most of the time I don’t even remember it. When I get a cure or better treatments I’ll have something to celebrate. This year marks 5 years since my diagnosis.
Whether or not any of you celebrate, & whether it’s a few years or many, you all deserve recognition for what you accomplish. When my daughter was dxd I searched for forums in hopes of gaining knowledge. I’m grateful to have found that, but I’m even more grateful for the hope I’ve found from all those who share their stories & lives. Congratulations, & thank you.

I also don’t really “celebrate” my diabetes anniversary and it will 47 years this fall. And birthdays are not a huge thing for me either but I must say every birthday I do a little bit of flipping diabetes off because we were told I would not make it past 30. And I have many years passed. So each year is another I get to stick it to my diabetes proving I can do anything and it can’t keep me down. So birthday this week turning 55, we’ll pass that 30 be lucky to make it to age!

5 years for me coming up on April 21. I was admitted to the hospital on that day with keto acidosis.
Congratulations for living well with the D! I was mis-diagnosed T2 in early August; Properly diagnosed T1 in September…This august it will be 3 years. For the past 2 years have made note of the day, but no real plan. Last year I mentioned to my brother it was my dia-versary…he groaned. With that said, if I decide to go beyond just recognizing the day, it will definitely be alone. Movie? Ice cream? Find a new book to read?
do whatever feels right! do all three, and while you’re at it, maybe go all out and change your lancet 
lol.
mine’s in September too!

I used to post here on diaversaries and recieved a lot of negative responses, so I stopped.
But I still feel a very high level of pride, especially when hitting landmark years. This Christmas will be my 55th.
Do what makes you feel good.
