TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

We often have ideas to help others with diabetes...such as but not limited to - see your doctor and diabetes educator(s); take your medications (insulin); exercise; eat a healthy diet; check your blood sugar (glucose) levels regularly; have a healthy and meaningful relationship with your God and family; be involved; manage your stress; and many others....

please add to the list without taking what someone else has said be original and have fun!

Now it's your turn....Go:__________________________________________________________________

That is very true, at times we seem to have too much time on our hands to think of the daily needs. We need to keep our minds occupited by thinking of ways to help not only ourselves but of those who have a very possitive attitude on life. There are more things to life than in fear of itself.

Sometimes, i think it's important to tell yourself, "never give up, never surrender!! am i gonna let some genetic code defeat me? NO!!" lol also, making lists is good for depression in general. so you can check off things and feel more positively about your accomplishments.

Remembering that not all of us are on insulin, my favorite ways of taking care of me and mine, is to not take life so seriously, laugh a lot, with others and at yourself; read much, fun reading and serious reading, have a hobby that takes you some place where the pressures of life are not, have one good friend that no matter what you can let your hair down, and loosen your belt.

1. Celebrate the small things. For example, getting up before 10am, or letting the dessert pass you by, or getting out for a walk. (Note: for some people these might be big things. If so, find your own small things)

2. Do something for someone else. This should not be a "should" - that will just add stress. But if you find yourself in a position to help someone, or if you'd really enjoy volunteering on a project - do it! And remember, anyone answering a post here is helping someone.
