Hypoglycemia is the closest I have come to hell on earth. It feels to me like I am dying and slipping away. Sweat drips down my body. My hands shake. My vision blurs. My heart races in my chest. My thoughts don’t make sense. I am aware I am not making sense, but powerless to do anything about it, but eat and wait.
Diabetes Coaches help people with diabetes to learn new coping skills required to deal with these challenges.
I am officially a Diabetes Coach and am coaching people who live with diabetes to journey inward and find their peace.
