Being a better you

When having diabetes, it isn’t easy, some people can accept it and do treatments. While other have a hard time accepting the fact that they need to change their lifestyle for the better. You can never be a perfect you, but you can become better and improve. Diabetes can sometimes give patients anxiety, stress, depression or anger because of the blood sugar. And few people will develop eating disorders or anger issues because of it. Just like taking care of the body, you need to take care of the mind, create a better environment for yourself. Start some changes in life for your own good, and I’m saying this to everyone, sick or healthy, young and old, we need to change. A couple of people have the fear of hypoglycemia or a very low level of blood sugar, may cause significant worry. Diabetes distress can also be affected by external factors like family and societal support and health care services. It is estimated that 33 to 50 percent of people with diabetes will experience diabetes distress at some point. While diabetes distress cannot typically be treated with medication, experts say that improving diabetes management to reduce stress, talk therapy and support groups can be helpful. You should surround yourself with people you trust, care and love. Be a better you :).
