Over the last few weeks our Healthshare diabetes community has been discussing likes, dislikes and challenges we face every day throughout winter. The good news is that spring is not too far away but as winter is still upon us we thought it would be helpful to share our community's insights with you. I like the cold, I actually like the cold weather, I love the bracing winds and you know bit of snow doesn't bother me but some days you just get up and you think do you Today I'm just going to work on the computer. At home, it's family that keeps you going, you know. I know for a fact that with me, physical activity does help. And so I have to, even though I may feel really tired because of high blood glucose levels, I'm quite happy to push myself to, because I know after about 10 minutes or so, I will begin to feel better. A new way, truthful, honest and unfiltered. hear from podiatrists, surgeons, diabetologists, patients and patient associations. The Healthshare Diabetes Community Winter Webinar, a new way, stepping out of winter.

What qualities help you overcome the challenges you face (which ones are concerning to you at this time)?

Winter is full of ups, many festivals both religious and non-religious are during these months and we overindulge. We get invited to parties and our lives are often in flux. This affects us all differently and sets up challenges that we need to adjust to, which adds to the anxieties and concerns when you have a medical condition like diabetes, hear what some of these worries are for our health-shared community. Whatever your worries, there is someone who has been there before and hearing their story can give you some peace of mind. Overindulgence is part of the human frailty and something we all have battles with, because it brings with it feelings of guilt, annoyance, and sometimes depression. Alcohol is sometimes one of those excesses at this time of year. It is important to understand how much it effects your diabetes and how to manage and treat yourself. The health-shared diabetes community shares with you their stories and you can join the conversation.

How do you motivate yourself to face the challenges around Winter, living with Diabetes?

Many of us struggle to stay motivated in the Winter months. It is hard when the days are short and dark, with miserable weather. It is often mentally and physically difficult to even get started on things you want to do. Our health-shared communities also shared how they face and overcome those challenges. Having the knowledge is a goldmine of motivation to face your challenges. We all experience the lows both physically and emotionally, and the dark, cold winter weather doesn’t help. Our community members all have different ways to motivate themselves. Join the conversation at Health-shared community and interact with different members in the community. Having confidence in your to selfcare comes from understanding the challenge you face.
