Who Needs Patience Anyway?

Hello friend! How are you? I hope you are feeling good and showing up and putting diabetes in its place every day.

Finger Sticks Hurt, But Do It Anyway!

I know this is not a fun topic to discuss. My diabetes butt kickers often have many reasons why they don’t test. This is why I take every opportunity to remind you to “Be well & Test often!” It is intentional.

Making Better Bad Decisions

Today I want to encourage you to make “Better Bad Decisions.”

I know that sounds crazy, right? Why would anyone want to make a bad decision let alone a better bad one? A better bad decision is simply making the best choice from a list of not so great options.

How Much Are You Willing To Pay?

Diabetes is HARD! It is unfair, inconvenient and it sucked the spontaneity (and fun) of eating out of our lives.

How Many Rounds Have You Been In The Ring With Diabetes?

Not finished with round one because you were just diagnosed? Are you on round 2, 3, 5,10 or 20? By rounds I'm referring to years.

Everyday you wake up diabetes is in the ring waiting for you. Diabetes doesn't take a day off or sleep in.

So, what's happening all the times you don't show up? You're getting hit just like this picture!

Every time your blood sugar is high...PUNCH
Every time you don't take your supplies with you...PUNCH
Every time you don't take your insulin or pills...PUNCH
Every time you eat a carb loaded, sugar infused and fat filled meals...PUNCH

When you end up in the hospital with blood sugar levels over 500, 600 or higher...the ref starts counting to see if it's going to be a KNOCKOUT!

1, 2, 3 ,4....but suddenly with a bloody face and bruised body you rise up and declare you're not a quitter and this fight isn't over...or is it?

How are you showing up in the ring? How many punches are you throwing by way of doing what you know you're supposed to do?

It's time out for acting like diabetes isn't real in our lives. It's time to get in that ring, stand strong, bob & weave and throw the punches of our lives.

You're WORTH FIGHTING FOR!

Post in the comments how many rounds you've been fighting and let me know one thing you're going to do to show up as a fighter in the ring.

Be well,
