Diabetes Confession Cam: Meg's Story of Managing Life with Diabetes

by IBD Medical on September 23, 2024

Having diabetes is hard and often, we forget to be a bit kinder to ourselves and to strive for a balanced approach. This week on our confession cam series, we have the Magnificent Meg @insulinaddict_aus sharing her confession when it comes to what she does on holidays. Don't forget to give her some support in the comments below - she's one fierce lady!

Living with diabetes can be an isolating experience, but being part of a supportive community can make a significant difference. At Glucology, we believe that connecting with others who face similar challenges is essential for emotional wellbeing and long-term diabetes management. Sharing personal stories within the diabetes community not only fosters a sense of belonging but also provides valuable insights and practical advice. When people open up about their experiences, from managing blood sugar levels to coping with the mental load of diabetes, they offer hope and encouragement to others on the same journey.

These shared stories serve as powerful reminders that you’re not alone in dealing with the ups and downs of diabetes. They also highlight different approaches to managing the condition, from new habits to tools like blood glucose monitors, CGMs, and insulin pumps. Hearing how others navigate their diabetes management can inspire positive changes in your own routine, making it easier to stay motivated. By building a strong community, we can support one another, celebrate successes, and face challenges together, making life with diabetes more manageable.


About Glucology's Confession Cam:

Well done Meg!
I have been type 1 for 55 years and at the start I had to be very careful about what I ate . Even now that I have a pump I feel I have to restrict what I eat .
A wonderful idea of yours to have a “ day off” while still maintaining control via boluses.
Wishing you well .
