Our tips will help you to find a balance, so that managing diabetes needn’t come at the expense of your happiness.
Make room for your comforts
It can sometimes feel like you can’t enjoy fun treats or “cheat” meals when you have diabetes.
But while healthy eating is a great way to manage your diabetes, treating yourself is important too. In fact, it’s an essential part of your wellbeing.
The good news is that nowadays it’s easier than ever to treat yourself. You can find plenty of “healthy” versions of popular treats, and you can balance out unhealthy foods with healthier eating during the rest of your week.
If you’re not sure how best to enjoy treats without negatively affecting your diabetes, talk to your healthcare team.
Learn from others
If you think about your diabetes like a battle you have to constantly be fighting, it can take a toll on your mental health.
Try instead to embrace your condition by reaching out to other people in the same position as you and learning how they manage their wellbeing. Feeling part of a community can help you to feel supported and offers you knowledge and perspectives you couldn’t find elsewhere.
You could try joining a diabetes forum, attending webinars, or following famous personalities with diabetes to see how they handle it while living their best lives. Talking to others who inspire and support you is a good way to reframe your mindset and feel more at ease.
Get the right tools to help
Keeping track of your diabetes can be stressful. That’s why it’s important to find the right tools to help you monitor your levels, giving you more time and headspace to focus on your wellbeing.
The FreeStyle Libre system can help you keep track of your diabetes continuously, giving you an understanding of how your behaviour and eating habits affect your condition.
With a deeper understanding of how your diabetes affects you, you’ll be free to dedicate more time and energy to taking care of other needs.
