Diabetes Type 1

I've been chronically ill most of my life. And I've tried A LOT of different things to help or find answers.

But I'm tired.

Worn out.

Exhausted.

Grieved.

I wonder if it's time to stop working so hard to eke out a possibility of feeling better, and just let things be as they are. Live as I am, and let it be enough.

But I'm scared that that's giving up.

Or...is it giving in? Surrendering my denial that this is how it is?

I'd love to know what my Mighty family thinks of this.

“Diabetes is not a choice, but how I live with it is.” - Brett Andreas

Diabetes isn't a choice, but how you cope and manage it is completely in your hands. Having a healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, medication, if needed, and monitoring blood sugar levels can all improve someone's quality of life. The good news is that living with diabetes doesn't have to be a limitation, but rather an opportunity for you to make positive changes for your well-being.

“At first it will be scary, but you will get used to it. You will start to do braver things”- Anonymous

You may feel overwhelmed and scared when first diagnosed with diabetes, but with time and proper management, you will become more comfortable and confident in handling the condition. As you learn more about diabetes and how it affects your body, you may begin to take on more challenges and make bolder decisions, not letting the condition hold you back from living your life to the fullest.

“Do things at your own pace. Life is not a race.” - Anonymous

It's important to remember that managing diabetes is a lifelong journey and it's important to take things at your own pace.

Don't compare yourself to others or feel like you need to keep up with anyone else's progress. Everyone's journey with diabetes is unique and it's important to focus on your own health and well-being. So take your time, make small changes, and find what works best for you.
