People with diabetes find it far easier to manage the condition when they do so with others, so reach out and involve willing friends and family in your journey. The healthy lifestyle changes you’ll be making are to everyone’s benefit, whether they have diabetes or not; people with diabetes often become valuable public health educators in their social circles.
Being part of a diabetes patient support group can also be invaluable.
Diabetes South Africa, for example, is an excellent starting point for finding a group, counsellor or diabetic clinic for help in understanding and managing your condition better, and for a wealth of information on diabetes generally.
