From people who came through it
“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.”

Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
