Andi's Diabetes Health Check Confession: A Journey of Truth and Empowerment

by IBD Medical on September 24, 2024

We understand that living with and managing diabetes is no easy feat, which is why we want to share a reminder for you to set aside time in your busy life schedule for your health and wellbeing.

Have a listen to Andi Balog, who's living with type 1 from Australia. In the form of a confession cam, she is sharing her truth about the health check decision she's personally made to empower herself in the best way possible. Have a listen!

  

Extra Resource for Women's Health:

Women's health is all encompassing and goes beyond just your diabetes diagnosis. To help share resources and educational tools, check out this women's health poster guide for what health check you need and the general thumb rule for when you should be going in for these health checks! 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.

I have only been regularly seeing a endocrinologist for the last few years as I have had Diabetes for the last 59 years. And in earlier years when I did see them I had more problems through lack of empathy from Endocrinologists resulting in regular Hypo’s etc so I sort of managed it my self for a long while.. I also use to smoke and drink alcohol etc for many years but have in the last 5 years stopped all of that etc.. I have been extremely lucky and only problem was having Cataracts done back in 2018. I started to use the Dexcom G6 in which mostly for a life saver when I go to sleep and to easily keep track of my BSL during the day, but still do blood checks also as the Dexcom can some times be unreliable to me and Blood tests .. I am now nearing 62 years and always hoped there would be a cure for long term Diabetes Type 1 just to have some idea of living without it.. And was told that the Pharmaceutical Companies make way to much Money from us Diabetic’s suffering from this disease and that is terrible for all of us
