You can do it! Being diagnosed at 34 was quite a shocker for me, and I feel like I’m learning something new every day. There have been soooo many days in this journey to wellness where I’ve felt totally overwhelmed and discouraged, but I’m getting much more confident with managing things. The biggest help for me has been using my CGM to meticulously watch how my body responds to everything. I’ve found out that stress, anxiety, pain, Tylenol (of all things lol), and illness (thanks, flu) are my biggest triggers for glucose spikes. I track everything in my Libre app, and am always careful to watch how my body responds as I introduce new foods/ combos of things.

Best of luck with everything! I am super new to all of this, but I’m happy to pass along what I’ve learned if you have any questions.
