Seasonal Transitions and Diabetes Management

For me, I think it's going to be about how you get into certain life patterns during different periods of the year and for some of them, like spring to summer, they don't tend to change a huge amount. Okay, some people go on holiday in spring and some in summer, but generally speaking it's quite a smooth transition. The transition between winter So in spring where suddenly you have, as I've said, a lot more potentially going on, different types of activity, out and about a bit more, so a bit more physical exertion is one of the more stark contrasts and I think it can take a bit of time to get your head around how that impacts on your diabetes. When you couple that with, certainly for me and perhaps for other diabetics, also finding sort of the beginning of the year is the time when you are getting your, perhaps increasing your self-discipline after a Christmas period, picking up good habits, it can be difficult to juggle all those things and maintain the good habits while also facing a significant change in your general lifestyle.
