First question, question one. Heading into summer, what are you looking forward to and what are you not looking forward to and why? I'm looking forward to, because of the school holidays, I'm looking forward to seeing my nieces, going to Devon, going to the beach, spending some time with my family. What I'm not looking forward to is the food, barbecues, lots of carbs and also ice lollies and ice creams. I don't think, I think it will be very very challenging to say no to all the nice food.

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.
