I am You – Stories to Connect

This week is all about taking a break from diabetes.  In my early years, I did that….. a lot!  I thought I could party like a rock star and ignore the silent things happening inside my body.

But diabetes is a wicked companion who will not be ignored.  And oh, how I have tried.  And paid a heavy price.  Dehydration, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, headache and hyperglycemia.  Yuck!

What I have learned is that I must deal with “her” a each day the best I can  and NEVER worry about what shenanigans she might pull tomorrow.  She demands attention, this little child of mine.   Yet today is MINE and although she shares my body, my thoughts, dreams, values, beliefs and visions are my own.  I take time away from diabetes in my adult mind and attitude.  A mental spring break from all the worry.   It feels nice…..
