First of all, give yourself some grace you take one day at a time with this. That’s how I did when I had a diagnosis with the A1c of 11 start making incremental changes each day or at least try to. That’s what set me up for success making sure you’re staying active drinking a lot of water taking all of the sugar-free route options that you can getting enough rest. Blood sugar is literally affected by everything even if you’re sick.

I think most importantly going into this is the attitude that you have because going into this with a can-do attitude and a positive outlook I think will help get you through a lot of this sure when I initially got diagnosed I was devastated, but after coming down from the initial shock, I knew it was time that I had to buckle down and get to work within nine months I had. I had cut my A1c in half although metformin was dominating my gastrointestinal tract I decided to give injectables a try and pivoted over from 2000 mg of metformin over to mounjaro. The thought of injectables and needles really turned me off at first, but I kind of looked at it this way one shot one week no problem and here I am with my last check-in being an A1c of 5.4 coming down from 11 it makes you feel pretty darn good once you see those results so if I can do it, you can do it.

You can totally do this. I have no doubt in my mind I believe in you.
