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.

My views on Types of Diabetes.

Chris talks about how how he feels that both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes should both be taken seriously. He shares his learning on both Type 1 and Type 2 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.
