MODY (Maturity-onset Diabetes of the Young)

“Living with diabetes is a journey, and I choose to make it a positive one.” - Rick M. Shivers

Living with diabetes is tough; however, we have the power to choose how we travel this road.

I'd like to see it be a positive experience where we learn, grow, and persevere from the challenges we face daily while we can also lean on a community that knows what we're going through.

I am not a victim of diabetes, I am a fighter and a survivor. – Tate Andrews

I wanted to remind you today we aren't victims of diabetes. We're survivors and fighters. Every day, we decide to manage our conditions as best as we can, seeking support and help as needed. We won't get ideal blood sugar numbers every day, but we'll keep trying. And that's how we fight and survive!

“One day at a time with diabetes.” - Michael Kiser

Managing diabetes is a very challenging task. Diabetes is a long-term disease. We have a lot to monitor, including our food intake, our medication dosages, how much physical activity we do, and managing stress, but you don't have to do all these things at once. Focus on one goal until you reach it, then move on to another. The best way to manage diabetes in the long run is to take things one day at a time.

“Don’t let yourself fall, you gotta pick yourself right up and strive to do better and be better! Think positive. Don’t let the Diabetes control you! You control the Diabetes! Be strong because someways might be tough but you are tougher!” – Tiffany Danczak

We will all experience some dark times on this diabetes journey, but I want to encourage you that no matter how hard things get, don’t let yourself fall! Pick yourself up and keep moving. Keep striving! With the right tools and a strong support system, you have what it takes to successfully manage this condition. Don’t give up, keep going 💙

Did you know that multitasking can slow you down? In fact, studies show that it can lead to more mistakes in the long run. Our brains work best when we focus on one task at a time. Make a list of all of your diabetes-related tasks for the day. Then, pace yourself by working on and crossing off each task off one at a time.

“Diabetes may slow me down at times, but it will never stop me.”- Brittany Steen

Diabetes may slow down some the plans we make or how we never navigate our day, but it will not stop us from living and thriving!

Always listen to your body before doing physical activity. If an exercise ever becomes too much to handle, dial it back.

If you need more of a challenge, add more minutes or different types of exercises to your routine.

If you feel any pain, stop and make sure to check in with your doctor.
