Goals for Diabetics

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

It seems since diabetes entered our lives 9 years ago, we’ve been flooded with goals. Count every carb. Eat less refined sugars. Eat more whole grains. Test more. Lower the 14-day average. Keep the A1c below 7.

And that’s just the beginning. There’s also a host of other essentials that go hand-in-hand with finding out you have diabetes. Make sure you get your eyes checked. Don’t miss your regular dental exams. Watch your feet for cuts or scrapes that aren’t healing.

Sometimes it can be exhausting. And it’s so much to do, it simply isn’t possible to be perfect. That can lead to feeling like you’re a constant failure.

So my advice for this week: Celebrate every small victory. If you have a blood sugar test that’s right in your target range, CELEBRATE! If you choose to munch on a carrot stick instead of a cookie, CELEBRATE! If you get out of bed and get in 30 minutes of any kind of exercise, CELEBRATE! Pat your self on your diabetic back for heaven’s sake. Take a bow and enjoy the moment. You’re doing great. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
