This is a complex and overwhelming disease but there are so many products today that are huge helps. We don’t get a break ever from this but when you do figure out what works for you and what foods won’t spike your blood sugar it’s a huge blessing. Just remember it’s not a text book disease and what works for one may not work for another at times. Every aspect of our lives affect our diabetes. Make sure you find a good endocrinologist bc there are a lot out there that suck. I wish you the best. You can do this. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, something that took me 39 years to figure out.

Yes, I have it. Just like diabetes… you can live with it, you just learn what works for you and “go for it.” If most specifics, let me know 😉
