From people who came through it
“Please be gentle with yourself, I wasn't, and it made everything harder, I pace everything now so if I do a lot Monday, tuesday is a rest day, no arguing, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
Miguel N · been through diabetes“A note for the next person. I was in the same place this time last year. Back then it was family telling me what I can eat at weddings. I got a new job in April. You get yourself back in pieces.”
lampfrost86 · been through diabetes“Hi, you. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. I remember type 2 and the shame people put on it like it was yesterday. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.”
Sebastián R. · been through diabetes“When I was first diagnosed, I felt like my body had betrayed me. I was angry. I still am some days. But you learn to adapt. The pump, the hypos, the family comments. It is a lot. But you find your people. I found a diabetes nurse who listens. I found friends online who get it. You will too. Just keep going. And do not let anyone tell you what to eat at a wedding. You know your body.”
