Support

To live with diabetes can be difficult and frustrating, and you know it well. Sometimes your blood sugar level my rise even if you have done everything properly. However if you stick to your diabetes management plan you will likely see a positive difference in A1C during your visit with your doctor.

These situations, as well as the normal daily diabetes management, can become overwhelming. It can be helpful to find somebody to talk with. Your healthcare team can be a support, and it is made up of many different specialists, but you may also want to try a support group to share your frustrations as well as your successes with other people. These people can understand your situation, because they live it themselves and it can be very helpful. You may find new tips thanks to meeting with other people that manage diabetes every day.

Ask your doctor if they are aware of a local support group you may join!
