Living Well With Diabetes on World Diabetes Day
The most important thing I know about diabetes is that living well with this disease has nothing to do with doing it all perfectly. People seem to assume I must have perfect blood sugars all the time because I'm 23 years old, or because I'm a personal trainer and yoga teacher therefore I spend a lot of time exercising.
