On those days when we struggle…whether it’s high blood sugar, low blood sugar, not feeling well, overwhelmed with all that we must do, or by feelings we can’t articulate, to not feel alone is the greatest help.

Find the courage to tell your friends and family what you need.  Even if it is just for them to be there.  I find it easier to ask for someone to “do” something for me – run an errand, do a chore, etc., then to ask someone to sit next to me in silence and support.  But that is really what I need.
