| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @hylozoists Thank you for that helpful and important reminder! #dsma |
 | thelongpointgirl 🇨🇦 @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed Shelley, I often lurk to learn and sometimes extroverts need to just be present, blue. #dsma |

| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Please continue to introduce yourselves. The topic for tonight is "changes." How do life changes affect your diabetes, and what wisdom about such can you share with others. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @nextwavet2d Hello, Bill! Thanks for joining in. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Oh, and my intro: This is @KellyRawlings moderating #dsma tonight. I join in because I need #dsma conversation and peers kinda like I need oxygen. #dsma |
 | Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed Hi! I'm Claire, I participate because I don't get to hang out with other PWD in real life. I'm in a purple phase right now, hair included. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana I have a number of colors I like, but no particular favorite. Burnt Sienna, Pthalo Blue, Cobalt Blue, all hi-viz when I'm cycling... #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana And of course, red #GoRedRider! (still need to register for my 2020 #TourdeCureNJ) #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q1. We know that major life changes—new job, new family member, loss of friend or family member, move to new home—can be a challenge to navigate. What's a major life change (or minor one) you've navigated w/ diabetes? #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d My favorite color is green, but my favorite crayon color is cornflower blue. Weird? #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @CharlotteABurns Hello, Charolotte! Glad you're here. #dsma |
| thelongpointgirl 🇨🇦 @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed #DSMA Q1. Life gets in the way of diabetes. Affects numbers, sometimes good, many times not. Best advice: hang on, ride the wave, then get back to your normal. |
 | Dee @dmsawy @DiabetesSocMed Dee from Philadelphia here. I usually have off on a Wednesday, so sometimes times catch a question when I’m checking Twitter, and my favorite color is red. #dsma |
| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma This is my first #dsma actually being on the east coast! I live in Colorado but am in MD after a Hill day with @DiabetesPAC yesterday. |
 | Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS Hi #dsma and Happy World Diabetes Day from Australia. I’m Renza and have lived with diabetes for 22 years. |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q1 I've just had a major life change of moving--to a new country. Gotta find new health care providers! #dsma |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @DiabetesSocMed A1. About a few months after I was diagnosed I decided to move back home. My mom came out to Denver and we were going to make a road trip out of it but had to cut it short because my sugars kept running high. Got home and back to normal. #dsma |
 | Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed Hey all! Patricia , T1D, pumper, Diabetes Coach, RN, Diabetes Evangelist, Fave color = RED #DSMA |
| Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS @DiabetesSocMed I think I’ll always say that planning for and being pregnant, and having a kid is the greatest challenge I’ve faced with diabetes. But worth every single minute! #DSMA |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @DiabetesSocMed Hello! #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @TheDiabetesDeal Glad to see you tonight, Patricia! #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed And I blog at https://t.co/PC4rrKd6OD #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @CharlotteABurns That's a lot of changes all at once! What have you learned from these experiences? #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @hylozoists Hello!!!! Love that meme and agree 100% #DSMA |
| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed Q1: I lost my Dad this year and was grateful every day for my insulin pump and set routine that let me just handle what I needed to without having to worry about blood sugar. 22 years of diabetes gave me the knowledge to just power through. #dsma |
| thelongpointgirl 🇨🇦 @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed #DSMA all close to the same time: dad died, a family members surgery didn’t go as planned, another family member had a significant health challenge and I had to write a 4 hr recertification exam. Last year sucked. Lol. |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed Many minor challenges require expert navigation with diabetes and this disorder is a relentless teacher, that keeps throwing lessons without any break. #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes This. Absolutely this! #DSMA #NDAM #WorldDiabetesDay #WorldKindnessDay2019 |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed Sorry for your loss. #dsma |
 | The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @DiabetesSocMed Leon, Sydney-Australia, T1D LADA, running a little late :) #dsma |
| Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS @DiabetesSocMed Pregnancy does fun (read: really crazy) things to diabetes. We didn’t have CGM here 15 years ago, so it was just learning to check, check, check and make lots of changes. Control what I could, and breathe through what in couldn’t! #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q2 If you're ever had a change in where you live, how was that challenging w/ diabetes, and what tips can you share? #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed A1 - #pregnancy!!! Twice!! Talk about feeling pressure to have perfect numbers. And I was working full time, travelling as a corp exec. And I was OLD (39 and 41). Yea for healthy babies and a1c that stayed 5.4-5.6 Nothing has been the same since!! #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @thelongptgirl Wow... lots of stuff to deal with at once #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @CharlotteABurns Love that reminder to find a stress reliever! #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q1. Biggest changes were the drastic lifestyle changes related to concurrent diagnoses of diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @Voicemomma @DiabetesPAC Thank you for your voice on the Hill! #DSMA |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @RenzaS @DiabetesSocMed Agree!!! #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q2. While I've not changed where I've LIVED since diagnosis (just ended up slowly migrating from my Mom's to my BF's address)... #dsma |
| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed Q2: I need my supplies to have a reliable home and to not have to dig around to find stuff. Moving makes that rough but I make supply location a priority. #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed Sorry for your loss 😔 #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q2. ...I have dealt with foods and food types being unavailable or difficult to find by the Other Half's family in VA #dsma |
| thelongpointgirl 🇨🇦 @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed #DSMA I just kept trying to keep my numbers as low as I could. They weren’t great but they weren’t horrible either. I just rode the wave and kept trying. |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @DiabetesSocMed A2. The challenge was difficult, but I was still so new I just wanted to make sure I got back to normal ranges. Tips I could share, stay active, especially if moving cross country. Make stops, get out and move and keep positive thoughts. #dsma |

| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed That is a lot! Sorry for you loss 😔 #DSMA |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed #dsma.Change is hard for those who refuse to adjust to the new reality. As type1's, accepting facts, and being flexible is the best way, rather than dissipating precious psychic energy in trying to change things.This I have learnt after struggling uselessly with the unchangeable |
 | Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced @DiabetesSocMed A2. Important to know where to go to find new HCPs, get supplies, and most importantly, keep lots of low glucose treatment nearby. The act of packing/unpacking is brutal on blood sugar and you may not have your kitchen set up or stocked yet. #dsma |

 | Macro 🇺🇦 Four @MacroFour @DiabetesSocMed @thelongptgirl In 2016, I was struggling due to T2 diabetes complications that affected my ability to work. A low carb diet brought my A1c down from 9% to 6% in 3 months. All my health issues resolved & that helped me cope with the serious fallout in my work life. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @sweetlyvoiced Yes, unpacking is as effective as a shopping trip to Target for lowering my BG. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed There's a type of denial that's "I'm sure they're wrong but I'll run the strict version anyway" #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @RenzaS @DiabetesSocMed I wore 3 watches to remind me to check and I did it all day 7a, 9a, 11a, 1p, 3p, 5p, 7p, 9p and 3 am before and while pregnant and then breast feeding. check check check is right! #DSMA |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced RT @DiabetesSocMed: @sweetlyvoiced Yes, unpacking is as effective as a shopping trip to Target for lowering my BG. #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed A2 - No change in place - just jobs #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed Doesn't work well for T1, but depending on the type of T2... #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed OK, Q3. Major change happens when we lose a friend, family member--whether death, disagreement, or simply drawing apart. Have any of these happened to you, and how have you coped? #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @TheDiabetesDeal That can be stressful as well, especially if it means changing insurance. Heck, even same-job insurance changes! #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed yes! The key is to expect change, then when it comes you are a "winner". Frustration is born when you expect things to stay the same (and they never do - diabetes or not!) #DSMA |
| thelongpointgirl 🇨🇦 @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed #DSMA If I got through the last year, I can get through most things life will throw at me. 3 months ago, broke my ankle. That’s where I found my diabetes difficult to deal with. That was just 1 more thing to deal with. Diabetes/mental health hard to deal with! |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @DiabetesSocMed A3. I did lose my step grand-mother. It was difficult at first, not necessarily my bg levels, but just mental. Like I had talked to her the week before and it was all so sudden. So it was more just shock for me. #dsma |
| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed Q3: I tried so hard to treat myself the way I would treat someone else who was going through it. With kindness and patience and no expectation of perfection. Didn't always manage it but it was a helpful focus point. #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed A3 - I realized a long time ago that grief was a part of #diabetes. I now understand how to navigate grief better. Step 1 - don't ignore it. Step 2 admit you deserve to have these bad feelings and then feel them and share them. Step 3 Choose to let it go. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @Voicemomma: @DiabetesSocMed Q3: @DiabetesSocMed Q3: I tried so hard to treat myself the way I would treat someone else who was going through it. With kindness and patience and no expectation of perfection. Didn't always manage it but it was a helpful focus point. #dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed It's a mindset that acknowledges that every adverse situation has a teaching, a learning which ultimately helps in self-growth. Instead of fighting to change situations fighting through changed situations gives us more power. #dsma. I guess this is an Eastern Concept. |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced RT @Voicemomma: @DiabetesSocMed Q3: @DiabetesSocMed Q3: I tried so hard to treat myself the way I would treat someone else who was going through it. With kindness and patience and no expectation of perfection. Didn't always manage it but it was a helpful focus point. #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed Thanks! Always good to be here - trying to multi-task and write a document....not very successful - #DSMA is too alluring! |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q4 What, if any, unexpected change has occurred that surprised you in terms of its impact on your diabetes, and how? #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed How hard it is to put yourself first!!! Babies and other seem to take precedence, but diabetes is a child of mine too! At least my other two are growing up! DM, not so much! Still a needy toddler! #DSMA |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @DiabetesSocMed I think it was a mutal feeling for everyone, so not out loud, but we all felt the same way. #dsma |
| thelongpointgirl 🇨🇦 @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed #DSMA It surprised me. I’m usually upbeat, still am but had a couple of meltdowns I didn’t expect. Husband is amazing, family dr is amazing. |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @tmana Yep - I had to forego a lot of medical coverage to start my coaching business. But finding it cheaper to pay cash than high premiums and deductibles! #crazy #DSMA |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed Ah yes. My mind knows, but my heart is hard of hearing! ha! #DSMA |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced @DiabetesSocMed A4. When I was about 13 and started dating a boy. I was all butterflies for a few weeks. The oddest thing was that my never-before-in-range glucose was suddenly fantastic. After the butterflies faded, I was back to my usual high A1c of my teen years. 🤷🏻♀️ #DSMA |
 | John @joltdude the lack of sleep, the multitude of complications, food becoming evil.... GI issues, etc.. it just doesnt stop #dsma |
| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed Q4: I'm testing a new pump system and learned today that the current settings cause major consequences for skipping breakfast, which i normally do with impunity. Good reminder to check in with what my daily routines are and if they make me feel good or not. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed Indeed. Each of us lives a classical hero tale, though most of us are unaware of it #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @Voicemomma: @DiabetesSocMed Q4: @DiabetesSocMed Q4: I'm testing a new pump system and learned today that the current settings cause major consequences for skipping breakfast, which i normally do with impunity. Good reminder to check in with what my daily routines are and if they make me feel good or not. #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed A4 - TMI???? Menopause! Good Lord - you gents are lucky! #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @TheDiabetesDeal Oh yeah. That. #dsma |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @DiabetesSocMed A4. A couple months my work schedule changed so I work very early now on Monday and Tuesday. At first it had a dramatic change where I would wake up in middle of night really low because I thought I needed more insulin before bed, but was a misreading. #dsma |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced @DiabetesSocMed A4. I would also answer “pregnancy.” Not everyone gets first trimester lows (I didn’t with either kid). Not everyone can go without insulin right after delivery. I needed to resume my basal immediately as I was ⬆️⬆️ after delivery with each. #DSMA |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed With each passing year of diabetes (34th year with diabetes) the body's response and its secretions (chemicals-hormones-enzymes) change timings, change intensity, change strength and these react in different ways with insulin. #dsma.A little awareness helps in managing diabetes. |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q4. That rebound weight gain wasn't as significant on my T2DM as it was on my blood pressure. #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed A4b - Changing insurance coverage and trying to find affordable solutions. I am winning, but it take a LOT. And I realize how much we just go with what our insurance plans tell us. Finding out, it may be less out of pocket to pash cash these days! #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @TheDiabetesDeal Havem #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed I ❤️ awareness!!! #DSMA |
| thelongpointgirl 🇨🇦 @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed #dsma they are all connected. I found it hard to stay organized but accepting help was so important. Not doing it alone. |
| John @joltdude Guys get their own share of d issues.....ED is one of them #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @TheDiabetesDeal Haven't really seen that, though my morning numbers have been creeping upwards #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @thomasgoffe So sorry for your loss 😔 #DSMA |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @thomasgoffe Wow! So sorry to hear. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @joltdude Well, diabetes brings us all the OTHER type of ED issues: Eating Disorders... or at least, Disordered Eating #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed My spreadsheet confirmed it! I just paid $10 for 50 test strips that cost over $50 with insurance (prior to deductible) #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q6. How might you speak kindly to yourself about navigating a major change (doesn't have to be diabetes)? #dsma |
| John @joltdude eating disorders and the food police... should you eat that..... #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @tmana @joltdude While doing healthcare IT software for Emergency Departments, I googled ED quite a bit, started getting adds for all sorts of other ED!!! 😂 #DSMA |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @DiabetesSocMed A6. These thing, too, shall pass #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @PracticalDeeb: @DiabetesSocMed A6. These thing, too, shall pass #dsma |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @DiabetesSocMed A5 I believe, and I just try to tell myself to see the bright side of where I'm going. #dsma |
| thelongpointgirl 🇨🇦 @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed #dsma q6 eventually this will get better, so Shelley, hang in there. What do I have control over? That’s where I can focus. Keep going back to this self talk otherwise I hang out in the negative self talk. |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @ryanryeguy89: @DiabetesSocMed A5 I believe, and I just try to tell myself to see the bright side of where I'm going. #dsma |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced @DiabetesSocMed A6. In navigating major change, I remind myself that change is inevitable and also that it will eventually plateau again. I don’t beat myself up about my diabetes self-care during it. I have nearly 30yrs ebb and flow that tells me I’ll find my way back from burnout again. #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed A6 - Thank you for asking this IMPORTANT question!! You give yourself permission to not be perfect and to not know everything. Then be curious about new possibilities. Curiosity has no judgement!!! #DSMA |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed Never let anyone or anything shake your faith in yourself. Keep reminding yourself that you are made up of sterner stuff, and can face any change. Keep away from those who try to put you down or make you feel inferior #dsma |
| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A6: Keep your head steady. Fear is not the enemy, let it pass over and through you. This is also a time for growth and learning. Other people are also going though this, you are not alone. Seek others out and learn from each other. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q6. Religious: (Deity) will not force you to handle more than you can. (Deity) is preparing you to help someone else down the road #dsma |
| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed It's been pointed out to me (because it's true) that I tend to speak of myself in unkind ways. I try to separate that, think of that negative voice as an evil bitch in my head and try, try to be as nice as I would be to someone I love. Work in progress. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed A6: oooh, good stuff here: Remind yourself the change/challenge is temporary. Positive self talk. Focus on what IS in your control... #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed That trait is called RESILIENCE!!! We all need more of it! #DSMA |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced RT @nextwavet2d: A6: A6: Keep your head steady. Fear is not the enemy, let it pass over and through you. This is also a time for growth and learning. Other people are also going though this, you are not alone. Seek others out and learn from each other. #dsma |

| Brenda Bell @tmana Q6. Hero: Every person is a Hero. Every Hero must overcome obstacles to reach his/her goal and become the person folk look up to #dsma |
 | mhaeberli @mhaeberli RT @nextwavet2d: A6: A6: Keep your head steady. Fear is not the enemy, let it pass over and through you. This is also a time for growth and learning. Other people are also going though this, you are not alone. Seek others out and learn from each other. #dsma |

| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed Ahhh - the inner "bitchy roommate" her purpose is to keep you safe and small and afraid. Thank her for her concern and then tell her "I got this girl". #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @nextwavet2d: A6: A6: Keep your head steady. Fear is not the enemy, let it pass over and through you. This is also a time for growth and learning.

| Brenda Bell @tmana Q6. For what it's worth, I fear that "speaking kindly to myself" will cause me to soften and forget my tasks and goals #dsma |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed I read a great book once as a vocalist / voice teacher that talked about your “five inner judges”. They might be that relative/ex/teacher/boss, etc, but one is usually your own voice. The author recommended shushing them when you’re mid-performance: “We can talk later.” #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @sweetlyvoiced: @DiabetesSocMed A6. In navigating major change, I remind myself that change is inevitable and also that it will eventually plateau again. I don’t beat myself up about my diabetes self-care during it. I have nearly 30yrs ebb and flow that tells me I’ll find my way back from burnout again. #dsma |
| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @TheDiabetesDeal @DiabetesSocMed Safe and small and afraid. So you've met her, too. Perfect words, that helps me. Thank you. #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @tmana Is that true? Or just fear? #DSMA |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed I’ve taken that “not while I’m trying to achieve this” shushing of my inner voice into battles against imposter syndrome, diabetes self-care, etc. Works for more than just the stage! #DSMA |
| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @sweetlyvoiced @DiabetesSocMed Oh, wow. I love that. Later. Not denial, just setting an appropriate time. 💙 #dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @mydiabeticheart @DiabetesSocMed @thomasgoffe Yes, the role of gut bacteria has never been given importance in any disease. Though it has been called the second brain, not much is discussed about it. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @TheDiabetesDeal Which, is irrelevant. Once I lose focus or get distracted, it's very difficult for me to get back on course. #dsma |
| John @joltdude lipstick on a pig is still a pig... #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed I know her well, although now I choose when and if I listen. She backs down when you tell her you hear her concern. Give it a try! #DSMA #diabetescoach tricks |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed Forced Learning to survive. #dsma is joyful. |
| thelongpointgirl 🇨🇦 @thelongptgirl @DiabetesSocMed #dsma Q7 the family member who’s surgery went bad had a second surgery that corrected the issues and I watched her move forward in her life! Yay! And she got a kitten that visits me often and it’s a nutty little creature. Sounds silly but it is joyful. |
| John @joltdude Having a chronic health condition is like laundry.. it never goes away ... might ligten up but its always there #dsma |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed And so I give appropriate credit. #DSMA This is the book: A Soprano on Her Head: Right-Side-Up Reflections on Life and Other Performances https://t.co/rlV9Of6Ij5 https://t.co/0qVprQAJg7 |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @tmana If you know now its fear, it gives you a place to hold on to when it happens. "this is just fear. I can chose to let it go" #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @thelongptgirl: @DiabetesSocMed #dsma Q7 the family member who’s surgery went bad had a second surgery that corrected the issues and I watched her move forward in her life!

| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @joltdude: Having a chronic health condition is like laundry.. it never goes away ... might ligten up but its always there #dsma |
| John @joltdude Not sure why but I dont see anything positive out of it... its just a constant stream of putting out one fire after another #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Agreed RT @joltdude: Having a chronic health condition is like laundry.. it never goes away ... might ligten up but its always there #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @T2DRemission @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed The voice has purpose - so you just need to acknowledge its roll in "your company", then as the CEO choose not to react to it. We have all worked with that person who has to point out all the "what ifs". Same thing if you can remember the reference in the moment. #DSMA |
| Ryan Dane 🇺🇦 @ryanryeguy89 @DiabetesSocMed A7. Almost missed it no #dsma hastag. I guess change that has brought me joy is now living on my own. Well I have a roommate, but he knows everything and it's great to be independent again. #dsma |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced Focusing on the elements you can control is another stage technique I used (and taught) as a vocal performer. You can’t change how others respond or the walls falling down around you, but can you manage what you are, how well you prepped, how hard you tried? #DSMA |

| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed Q7: Getting into advocacy. I feel powerless so often, walking into my Congressional Rep's office b/c I have important issues that need their attention helps me realize that my experience has given me expertise that few have and it feels great to share it and work for change #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana CT So many things masquerade as diabetes and not-diabetes. To quote and old dLife commercial, "Test! Don't Guess!" #dsma |
| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @DiabetesSocMed I missed Q7 ? But diabetes is the best gift I have ever received. It made me realize my life matters. That I want to live this life fully. That I am not a mistake. That my needs and purpose are valid. It was almost losing my life that made me realize what a gift it is! #DSMA |
| Claire Pegg @Voicemomma @DiabetesSocMed I'm so grateful for tonight's chat. I'm not alone. Need to remember that. You're all awesome. 💙 #dsma |

| Better Diabetes Life @BetterDiabetes @T2DRemission @tmana Yes! When we just "notice" it creates a bit of distance between us and "it" (fear/anxiety/negative emotions) #DSMA |

| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced Closing thoughts: Your emotions exist in response to a need that you have that is or isn’t being met. (Hat tip to @PancreasInGame.) Don’t beat yourself up for having needs or having a human response to them. #dsma |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama @thomasgoffe @joannerinker Yep. Here is the blog I wrote for @diabetessisters: https://t.co/oFxoTi8POH Hopefully another, kind of more detailed article for #HCP will be in an upcoming issue of AADE in Practice to get more providers asking questions and screening. #DSMA |
