Walking the Tightrope
Â
Living with Type 1 diabetes is like walking a tightrope every single day. Itâs an invisible battle fought with insulin pens, insulin pumps, glucose monitors, and the ever-present worry of highs and lows. But amidst the challenges, something remarkable emergesâthe unwavering strength of the human spirit and the unseen guardians who walk beside us.
Â
Â
My Own Journey with Angels
Â
For most of my life, I never really believed in angels. I saw them as little more than symbols, comforting to some but distant from my own reality. That changed the day my son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
Â
Like many parents, I was consumed with anxietyâworried about how he would cope, how he would manage without me, and whether he would have the support he needed at school. The weight of it all was overwhelming. In my desperation, I did something I had never done before: I asked for help from the angelic realm. I prayedâprayed hardâfor the angels to send my son the support he needed.
Â
And my prayers were answered. He was given the most dedicated carer, someone who looked after him with love and attention, and he thrived. It felt like a gift, something beyond coincidence.
Â
Since then, I have turned to the angels many times. When the burden of this condition feels too heavy, I call on Archangel Michael to bring strength and protection, not just for my son but for our entire family. It gives me a sense of peace and stops me from feeling like I have to carry this alone. Every day, I ask the angels to watch over my son, to guide him through the challenges, and to help me find the resilience I need.
Â
I know many people will dismiss this as nonsense. I used to think the same way. But if youâre struggling, I encourage you to open your mind and give it a try. You might just be surprised by what happens when you ask for help.

The Guardians We Never Knew We Had
Â
If you or a loved one lives with Type 1 diabetes, you know itâs more than a medical conditionâitâs a life-altering journey that demands resilience, patience, and faith. Yet, in the midst of this daily balancing act, have you ever noticed the quiet moments of grace?
Â
The stranger who offers their last piece of candy when your blood sugar crashes. The friend who learns how to use glucagon just in case. The nurse who holds your hand on a tough day. These moments arenât coincidences; they are reminders that we are never truly alone.
Â
And sometimes, the greatest guardian is within ourselves. Every time you push through a difficult hypo, change your sensor despite sore skin, or refuse to let diabetes define youâthatâs your inner strength, your own guardian angel at work.
Â
Â
The Archangels Watching Over Us
Â
Throughout history and spirituality, archangels have been seen as powerful guides and protectors. While not everyone may believe in angels, we can all connect to the universal energies of courage, healing, wisdom, and love. Each of these archangels represents a unique energy, and I have infused their essence into the designs of my overlay patchesâso that the wearer can channel their healing power every day.
Â
- Archangel Michael â The warrior and protector, offering courage in the face of fear and adversity.
- Archangel Raphael â The healer, bringing comfort and support for physical and emotional well-being.
- Archangel Jophiel â The angel of wisdom and beauty, helping to bring light to even the darkest moments.
- Archangel Gabriel â The messenger, inspiring hope and guiding us through challenges.
- Archangel Uriel â The light of truth, illuminating clarity and inner wisdom.
- Archangel Zadkiel â The angel of mercy, reminding us to show kindness to ourselves and others.
- Archangel Chamuel â The angel of love and inner peace, helping us find strength through self-compassion and emotional balance.
Â
Whether seen as celestial beings or symbolic representations of our inner power, these guardians remind us that even in our hardest moments, we are supported.
Â
Â
Healing in the Smallest Ways
Â
Diabetes devicesâCGMs, insulin pumps, patchesâare lifelines. But they can also feel like constant reminders of the condition we navigate daily. Thatâs why I created a range of overlay patches designed not just for function, but for healing.
Â
Each design has been carefully crafted to channel the energy of a specific archangel, allowing the wearer to connect with their strength, protection, and guidance. The colors, symbols, and messages are intentionalâcreated to bring comfort, encouragement, and a sense of empowerment. These patches do more than secure a deviceâthey embrace the journey.
Â
Â
More Than a PatchâA Reminder of Strength
Â
Wearing one of these patches isnât just about keeping your device in place. Itâs a quiet declaration:
Â
âYes, I live with diabetes, but I do so with courage and grace.â
Â
Itâs a small act of self-care in a journey that often demands so much.
Â
To every person fighting this battleâwhether newly diagnosed, a seasoned warrior, or a caregiver standing by someone you loveâyou are never alone. You are surrounded by support, seen and unseen, and your strength is nothing short of extraordinary.
Â
So, letâs wear our devices proudly. Letâs add a little beauty to the journey. And letâs remind each other that in this world of highs and lows, we are always supported.
Â
Share this with someone who needs a reminder that they are strong, loved, and guided every step of the way. đ
