We aren’t born with innate skills to masterfully negotiate life with a chronic illness, but we do adapt and learn. Hopefully, and especially if you are new at this, my life lessons will speed things up for you. Keep in mind that although my tips may sound easy, they were learned through years of brutal lessons, which I’m sure you have had your fair share of thus far. Hugs, we’re all in this together!

Resolution: The firm decision to do or not to do something.
Question:How can I have fun and make it through these holiday weeks with my mind, my BG, and my weight intact? SO. MANY. CARBS...
Answer: The holidays are such a special time of year. And while going through this season living with diabetes may seem like an added challenge, it doesn’t have to mean missing out on quality family time, festive parties, or your favorite foods!
