GETTING A REALITY CHECK
Have you ever had unrealistic expectations of yourself when it comes to treating your diabetes? Do you feel that you "have to do everything just right" in order to stay on top of your diabetes? Have you set yourself up for failure by trying to restrict yourself too dramatically (e.g., "I will never eat dessert again") or by setting unrealistic goals (e.g., "I'm going to start my new exercise program by running five miles a day")? If this sounds like something you've been through, dLifeTV would like to hear your story. We’re especially eager to hear from the men out there who have dealt with this issue!
