Every day we make many choices about what we choose to spend money on.  Those choices reflect what we deem valuable and worthy of our hear earned dollars.  When dealing with chronic illness like diabetes, there are additional financial burdens for supplies, medications, provider visits, food, gym memberships and more.  But how far up  your priority list does your diabetes management rank?  Has lack of money become a reason for not doing the things your truly believe in and want?  Whether it’s a better A1c, more fresh foods, to start a new hobby or change careers, make sure you really you are funding a life you want.   Do this exercise.  Look at your monthly budget and rank your spending.  Then look at those same items and rank their importance.  Do they match up?  If not, consider a change.
