I just joined and wanted to thank you for
addressing the issue of diabetes and it’s effect on your
emotions. I have it easy, Im only type 2, have been for
about 4 years. For myself, one of the hardest aspects
of diabetes is the way it has effected me
emotionaly, and how it has changed my personality. I have

Anyone who needs some support or just want’s to talk to
someone, drop me an e-mail “jayj58kc@…”. Thanks
again

frustrated … guilty … and scared. But I figured I had a
choice. I could let those feeling rule my life — or find
a way to stay positive and deal with my diabetes.
Here’s what’s working for me:<br
efforts like eating healthier or exercising into smaller
steps I know I can manage. Every time I take a step,
the big goal is more reachable.<br
constantly remind myself that many with diabetes live long,
healthy lives.<br
always understand how I feel, so when I have concerns, I
share them with my friends and family. It really
