Texting My Pancreas

Creative and funny online comics by Kim Vlasnik, discovered via everyone’s pals at I Heart Guts.

From Kim’s bio page,

Living with diabetes comes with its own unique set of challenges: in addition to the physical things like injections or carb counting, we deal with emotions, anxieties, and fears that most people have the luxury of never knowing. Until I found the diabetes online community (DOC) in late 2009, I had no idea how much I needed the support it can offer. For me, living with diabetes feels much more bearable when I think of it as a team sport.

I began writing Texting My Pancreas in the summer of 2010, and it’s where I share my life with diabetes (and other shenanigans) – the good, the challenging, and the awkward. In addition to writing, I also create cartoons inspired by the commonalities shared by people with diabetes, as levity is my preferred method of dealing with all of this diabetes hullabaloo.
