Don't Be Discouraged

Diabetes is a progressive disease. This essentially means that as your body changes so will your treatment plan. Long term damage can result from lack of control. Even well controlled diabetes can progress over time. In type 2 diabetes the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or cells don't react properly. In type 1, no insulin is produced by the pancreas. Proper nutrition, physical exercise and prescribed medication can help battle the progression. Over time these will likely need to be adjusted. It can be a struggle but do not become discouraged. Plan healthy meals and snacks, try to maintain a healthy weight, stay active and continue to monitor blood sugar levels.😊👏👏👏
