By Jonathan Brown, I was a diabetes scientist for 25 years. Good question! What most people do, unfortunately, is become very fearful and self-blaming, and then retreat into denial until something really bad happens (that probably could have been prevented). So # 1 and #2 are… 1. Relax! Diabetes is not a death sentence. Actually, for most people with good medical care, diabetes diagnosis is nothing more than small upward change in a lab value. It is a warning sign. It is the “complications” of diabetes that you want to avoid. And with modern medicines, you can reduce your risk of these complications to the level of someone your age without diabetes, maybe even better. 2.

The Universe's grand plan for you. You're a powerful being, but... We’re halfway through the first month of 2018, How are your resolutions holding up? If you keep telling yourself that the New Year hasn't "officially" started... That you just need a little more time to clear your head after such a challenging and intense 2017... That THIS will be the week you regroup, get back on track and start setting powerfully-aligned intentions for 2018 (because the last couple weeks didn't count)... You’re not alone.
