Insights from members of the Health-Shared Diabetes community related to Winter.

Winter is the season that you often either hate or love. What we do know is that it brings with it for our health-shared community reduced activity, more time indoors, certainly the cold weather and more community infections. It is the season of parties, overindulgence with food and alcohol but for many it causes seasonal affective disorder and low mood due to shorter and darker days. Health-shared wants to discuss all these topics in fortnightly sprints looking at Treatment options, having confidence in self-care and ownership of that care, when to turn to healthcare for treatment and addressing some of those lifestyle concerns such as smoking cessation and reducing alcohol intake.

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.
