Summary: The author offers their heartfelt sympathies to Daniel Darkes, who has unfortunately rejoined the diabetes community after years without it.
Dear Daniel,
I cannot imagine the pain you must have felt, and probably still do, after being re-diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. You got to touch the miracle of healing and live life with energy and passion but that was then stripped from you. You knew, probably when you saw the symptoms creeping back up on you, that your future had changed direction. I am sorry for your loss and pain.
But I’m still left wondering… I still feel that you hold the key for so many of us. You are the only person I know of who has been diagnosed twice. And whilst I wouldn’t wish this diagnosis on anyone, let alone twice, I feel you hold great value still for our community. How did your life, or your daily practices, change between releasing your Type 1 Diabetes and regaining it again? What changed? What similarities can you see between the first time your body created diabetes and the second time it did? What was your emotional life like both times? I feel that you still hold the key to the switch for turning it off, like you did before. The real challenge in this is to lean in close enough to really see what was there. To witness the subtleties that were actually profound. To again meet yourself in that place where healing came naturally to your body. To the time when your body no longer needed to promote diabetes in your cells to manage the circumstances of your life.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the medical doctors are now drawing a line under your healing. They’re now probably thinking that it was just a blip, something that just happened and now it all makes sense again. I can’t get onboard with that. Something important happened, something that can change the way we understand healing, if only we were looking.
Daniel, if you ever feel like exploring and digging into what this is all truly about. What the true meaning of your healing and regression are, please reach out. I’d love to hear from you.
