5 Top Tips for Better Diabetesing

Just found myself absently wondering what I would say to myself if I could go back in time ‘Bill and Ted’ style and offer newly-diagnosed-me some hints and tips for better diabetes management, and a better relationship with my diabetes from future-me. What 5 hints and tips I might offer myself...

Welcome to the forum @tiptopjohn

Your current wobbles are completely understandable, but you are right to be encouraged by the experiences of other members. Diabetes is potentially serious, but it is also something that can usually be well managed, and it shouldn’t stop you from doing whatever you want - it’s just that some things might need a bit of extra prep and some lateral thinking 🙂

Thank You for your words of advice I just felt alone with no one to ask for advice and reading the internet you get all the horror stories

No need to feel alone. There are plenty of us here to talk things through with and get a better perspective on things. I know I would have been lost without the good people here when I was first diagnosed. Do drop in any time and ask about anything that is bothering you.
