Change Change – Written by Rachel Zinman Yoga

I have had diabetes for 16 years. At the time of diagnosis, everything seemed so surreal. I had few symptoms, my blood sugar levels were pretty much within range, and it seemed like all I needed was a change in diet and exercise. Things are very different now. I take seven injections a day, need the average amount of insulin for someone my weight and age, and living on insulin is my new normal.

Now that life has returned to “normal,” I’ve been focusing on the axiom one day at a time. In some cases, even one day at a time may be too broad. Sometimes it’s one second at a time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not depressed or anxious…I’m just tired…tired of trying so hard to juggle all the balls in the air at once.
