While it's important to look ahead of what's to come in your journey, looking back to reflect on how far we've come can help shift our perspective and remind us to recognise our achievements. 

We've gotten a range of different answers from our community in the past in regards to what achievements they are proud of making since the beginning of their diabetes journey; from mastering self-love, to mastering being organised, mastering mindful healthy eating and even mastering bolusing! 

See what our community members have to say on this question:

“What’s something you’re proud that you’ve mastered since the beginning of your diabetes journey?”
