Chronicle
A genre of writing characterized by short texts.
With simple language, it is influenced by everyday events.
A broken elevator.
The neighbor’s parrot that speaks “Portunhol”
A dentist appointment.
The daily and punctual whistle of the knife sharpener.
An everyday event, even trivial, turns into a story that can make you cry, feel emotional, or laugh.
Chronic. A lifelong health condition.
Like diabetes.
With continuous treatment, it is influenced by everyday events.
A lunch with dessert.
Wednesday night soccer.
A bike fall.
The daily and punctual chatter of the jewelry vendor.
The difference is that in this everyday life, no event is trivial.
Everything you do or fail to do influences the outcome of your story.
Sad, emotional, dramatic, funny, happy.
It doesn’t matter.
Those who have diabetes write, in the way they can, with a different kind of pen, the best possible version of the story.
By the way, story?
No.
Chronicle.

Chronicle
Crônica Mellitus was born in 2023 and is going out into the world with a clear mission: to change the way people see diabetes and the treatment of this condition.
Here, you will find real and emotional stories – true life chronicles that move and touch the heart. We will also tell you the fascinating history of insulin, all to inspire you and help you reshape and strengthen your journey.
Our first chronicle is from Adriana de Carvalho Santos, who has been living with type 1/LADA diabetes for 17 years. After facing many challenges to receive the correct diagnosis and finally accept insulin, today she shares her journey of overcoming and teaches us that it is possible to live well with the condition, turning difficulties into strength.
“Eu comecei a ver que eu precisava viver com a diabetes e não para a diabetes”
Adriana de Carvalho Santos, 17 anos de diabetes tipo 1/LADA, que teve muitas dificuldades em aceitar o tratamento, e, hoje, ela vive plenamente com a condição:
“I began to see that I needed to live with diabetes and not for diabetes”
“I began to see that I needed to live
with diabetes and not for diabetes”
meet Adriana.
Imagine a time when a type 1 diabetes diagnosis meant a sentence of hopelessness. Life expectancy was only 6 months to 2 years, and the treatment consisted of an extremely restrictive diet.
Before 1921, this was the harsh reality – until a groundbreaking discovery changed everything.
In Canada, a group of scientists pushed the boundaries of medicine, facing countless obstacles, frustrations, and pivotal moments. They achieved a feat that would save millions of lives, including those already threatened by the disease.
This moment of inspiration not only changed the past but continues to redefine the present and shape the future.
Watch the film and dive into this extraordinary story.
“I did everything to avoid insulin, but I came close to death several times.”
“The discovery of insulin marked a new era, bringing hope and quality of life to those with diabetes.”
“Living with my daughter’s diabetes was challenging, but with time and knowledge, we learned to accept and cope with the condition.”
“I think it’s always about looking ahead and believing in the best, having the hope that everything will work out and be okay.”
