Even though we are living with the “same” disease, the way we manage is different for each one of us. One size, or one management plan, does not fit all. (And one size doesn’t even fit for the same person every day … see also “insanity.”)
EXACTLY!!
Absolutely!!! I know we all know this . . . . . but I’ve noticed sometimes we seem to forget it.
Nope, one size does not fit all – Especially when it comes to managing diabetes!
But knowing what others do gives you ideas for your own care. I love hearing what works for others — everyone needs more tricks in their bag when what they are doing no longer works. What better resource is there than others with diabetes?
And that, my friends is the beauty of the DOC – We can see all the ways people are doing it, and adopt what works for us. Great to continually have new options presented!
One size diabetes doesn’t fit all but can I at least try on the shoes?
Even within the same family, it’s not one size fits all. My mom and I are both Type 2, but we react differently to various foods. I’m with Sara though – those shoes are cute!
