Inspirational Quotes For Diabetics

Inspirational quotes have become a bit of a mainstay of my social content since starting On Diabetes. There’s no denying that diabetes can get you down and, as we all know, motivational quotes can actually be pretty good at making us feel better when we’re having a bad day.

These posts always get some positive engagement as well so I thought, why just keep them on the socials? I’m sure people that check out the blog but don’t do much on social media would want to see them to. So, that’s exactly what this page is about.

Don’t forget to bookmark it and pop back on over when you’re having a tough day seeing the silver lining of being a diabetic. I’ll keep updating it every time I share a new one and hopefully this will eventually become a huge repository of diabetic inspiration!

Despite your best efforts your blood sugars will not always be where you would like them to be or even where they should be based on what you’ve eaten or injected. Successful management of diabetes is as much about being able to roll with the punches and wake up the morning after a day of bad blood glucose ready to try again as it is making sure your BG is in range! So no matter what your meter has recently told you know that you are doing a great job. Keep bossing it!
The successful management of diabetes can sometimes feel like an unachievable task. There are days where you do everything right but yet your sugars go high or you fall into a brutal low. The worst possible thing you can do on these days, or any day in fact, is to give up. As long as you continue to try, you will never fail. So keep your chin up and keep pushing forward, you’ve got this ????
Since being diagnosed I can honestly say that I’ve grown so much as a person. Diabetes helps you learn so much about yourself, good and bad, and I believe ultimately makes you a better person!
It’s often very difficult to see any sort of silver lining when it comes to a Type One Diabetes diagnosis. However, discovering your ability to overcome adversity is certainly one of them. Before diagnosis would you have ever imagined being able to inject yourself multiple times a day, draw your own blood, correct life threatening lows, handle the mental challenges of diagnosis and basically replace the bodily function of one of your organs? Probably not. But you have that strength, and every day it gets that little bit stronger ??
Just a little reminder for all you #T1D warriors, whether you feel like you’re winning or losing right now, the fact that you’re still battling means that you can only be triumphant ?? ??
Successfully managing #diabetes is as much about a positive mental attitude as it is about positive lifestyle choices. Remember, you can do this. In fact, the only thing that can stop you doing this is you. So make it happen ??
Sometimes it can feel overwhelming dealing with the challenges that #diabetes throws your way but remember that diabetes is the river and it’s up to you if you sink or swim… ??‍♂️You’re smashing it, so keep swimming!
When dealing with diabetes it can be tempting, almost irresistible, to set your sights on some big achievements. This could be reaching a certain A1C for example. This is your mountain and, if you don’t take care of the little things, like your day to day wellbeing, you’ll never be able to climb it. It’s important to look after these pebbles, more so than the mountains, to ensure you’re able to live your diabetic life to the fullest ? ?
