Autumn is the season which probably poses the least amount of challenges in the sense that the weather is usually not as good as it is in summer but not as rough as it is in winter and that means you can kind of get a nice balance of activity, you're not from a diabetes perspective out and about all the time, there's still some time where you're in and around the house a bit more but you're not in a period where you're struggling to get out in any weather so it's one of the easier times to manage and I think it gives you it's a nice balancing period between the two more challenging periods of summer and 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.

My views on Types of Diabetes.

He talks about a relative who took his type 2 Diabetes lightly but felt that early care and attention to things like weight loss may be helpful in the longer term. Chris has also come across people with Gestational Diabetes as well as women with Type 1 Diabetes who were pregnant. He ends by talking about the benefits of good blood glucose control.
