About Me

✋ Hey there, I’m Kenny– Welcome to My Type One Path

In December 2022, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
Was it a shock? Absolutely.
Was I prepared? Not even close.
Did I Google it? Eventually.
And now? I live with it, I learn from it, and I write about it — right here.

This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share my journey with T1D — the weird moments, the tough days, the things no one told me, and the occasional (okay, frequent) sarcastic rant about medical devices and blood sugar swings.

But let’s rewind a little…

📍 Who am I, really?

I’m a 39-year-old, my profession – flight attendant, from Frankfurt, with a love for good food, bad jokes, and honest conversations. Before diabetes, I thought health was something you either had or didn’t. After diabetes, I learned it’s more like a language — and I’m still learning the grammar.

Oh, and I drink beer — yes, with Type 1 Diabetes — and somehow survive to tell the tale.

🩺 Why This Blog?

Because when I was first diagnosed, I couldn’t find content that felt human. Everything was either way too medical or way too fluffy. So I decided to write the kind of thing I wish I had read when I was clueless, thirsty, and losing weight for “no reason.”

Here, you’ll find:

  • Real stories (the good, the bad, and the glucose-spiky)
  • T1D tips that actually make sense
  • Tools, charts, hacks and food fails
  • And maybe, just maybe — a reason to laugh in the middle of a sugar crash

🤝 Let’s Connect

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, living with T1D, or just trying to understand what your diabetic friend is going through — you’re in the right place. Drop a comment, send a message, or just read along quietly. I’m glad you’re here.
