the shots or pills we take. Exercise, food, sleep, management of stress is also our medicine. Take all your medicine. Know that you may not like all that you have to do as a diabetic, but without doing that, you will suffer energy-wise; you will have mood problems; you will cause much greater problems than the shots you may not like, the pills you may not like, the blood test you don’t like. That is a small price to pay for good kidneys, good eyes, good liver, good freedom that you will have if you live as a healthy diabetic. It is not easy. Accept that. Embrace that. Work through that. Stay focused on the reward – the freedom of health.”
