Today marks 16 years with type 1 diabetes, Sweet Sixteen.

In honor of this day, here are 16 of my favorite sweets from the past year. Yes, I can eat that.

1.This birthday cupcake from my birthday last week.

2. This doughnut that looks like a pizza!

3.  My first visit to Chick-fil-A with a delicious cookies and cream milkshake.

4. Amazing doughnuts from a local bakery that I brought to my family’s Father’s  Day gathering yesterday.

5.  A bacon glazed mini doughnut. Can’t go wrong with bacon.

6. Bonuts (biscuit doughnuts) and a biscuit with chocolate gravy, peanut butter, banana jam, and pretzels from Biscuit Love in Nashville.
