Juvenile Diabetes Type 1

In my state, cases of respiratory illnesses have been skyrocketing! For several weeks, my mom, who’s a nurse, has been constantly talking about the shortage of pediatric and adult beds because of severe respiratory illnesses.

Diabetes doesn't take breaks, so make sure you continue to manage it as well as you can!

- Eat smaller portions
- Eat and drink responsibly
- Don’t skip meals
- Take insulin and/or oral medication at regular times
- If you’re able to, take walks, dance or play fun movement games with family and friends
- Manage stress by avoiding heated discussions and taking small breaks when needed

As always, if you have any questions or just need to vent, our community is here for you 💙

This week, many of us will celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends. You might be asked about your condition and want to know more about it.

Don't be ashamed of sharing your story. The story you share might give them the inspiration they need to look after their own health or encourage them to commit to their own chronic illness journey. ❤️

From CDC: Make sure you pack twice as much medicine as you think you'll need. Ask your pharmacist to print extra labels for plastic bags so you can carry medicines in their original pharmacy bottles.
