The number one priority in your life should be taking care of your health, which means monitoring your meals, daily exercise, restful sleep and managing stress. Sometimes we get to busy with life's responsibilities and neglect taking care of ourselves. If you have ever taken a flight somewhere you should know the "airplane rule". When the oxyegen mask comes down, you should put the mask on you first before you can help someone else. As with our health, we should take good care of ourselves before we can help others. If you are diabetic or suffer from a mental health illness, there is help for you to learn how to be healthy.
Being diagnosed with Diabetes is not a death sentence. After hearing I have diabetes, I decided to learn as much as I could about the disease. I received special training to conduct Diabetes Talking Circles in the Native American Connumity. I have also served as a facilitator for the Healthy Living workshops for Diabetes and Chronic disease (Stanford model).
If you are interested in learning how to make positive changes to manage your diabetes, please join our Diabetes Talking Circle. Recieve a FREE Diabetes Talking Circle binder filled wilth vital and helpful information to ensure your success managing your diabetes care.
