Diabetes

“You just have to remembered that wherever you are at your lowest it will always get better.”- Victor Garber

We have had or will have some very difficult times on this journey. It is hard for us to see the positive while we are going through these times, but there is a glimmer of hope that things will get better.

Your glimmer of hope may come from encouragement, seeking help or deciding to stay committed.

Even at your lowest, things will improve. Keep moving forward one step at a time.

It's so easy to say to ourselves that if only a particular person wasn't bothering us, then and ONLY then would we be happy. And while this certainly does make a lot of sense, there, unfortunately, will always be a person, a problem, or a circumstance that is challenging us. Don't postpone your own peace just because there are problems in this world. If you wait for everything to be just right before you give yourself permission to love yourself or find peace, you will be waiting your entire life. I know you're going through a lot, we all are, but who has the courage to let themselves find peace right now and ultimately love themselves, right now?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Speaking of thanks for all, I was hoping we could acknowledge everyone who comments below. I know it seems like a small gesture, but many people here have never opened up to anyone before and being open and honest with strangers can be quite scary. So, if we could show our gratitude by giving their comment a simple reply or heart, I’m sure they would really appreciate your team support. What do you say?

Unsure if I have reactive hypoglycemia or just hypoglycemia, doctors don't listen just brush me off, think I'm a hypochondriac. All diabetes blood test come out negative. This blood sugar level is after a snack 1 hour after .

Today, I want to re-share a quick resource from the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialist on Non-Insulin Diabetes Medication Cost-Saving Resources.

This is a list of drug manufacturers and organizations that provide cost-saving programsthat help people access diabetes medication.

Remember that this is not a permanent solution, but one way to help people with diabetes afford lifesaving medications.

It is also important to keep in mind that some companies may have changed eligibility requirements or the program itself since this publication. For updates, visit their websites or contact them directly.

“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”- Jane Goodall

A friend of mine made an empowering statement this morning: We humans have been given the power to make decisions.

We have the ability to make decisions. Regardless of what life throws at us, we have the ability to change the outcome. Whatever we decide to do in a situation makes a difference, whether good or bad.

The same applies to our health journeys. The way we approach this condition can make a difference in our outlook on life.

Have you been having difficulty managing diabetes?

Are you newly diagnosed and want to better understand your diagnosis?

Are you finding yourself on the verge of diabetes distress or depression?

Are you just tired of it all?

How can you change the outcome of your situation? What kind of difference do you want to make in this area?

Take some time today to reflect and then come up with a plan to make this happen.

You can turn to this community for support whenever you need it. Don’t hesitate to reach out to the community with a post or DM me💙
