And Life Goes On

I just can’t believe that in the last 51 years, I’ve never taken a “diabetes vacation.” I have many patients who have had insulin pumps and have gone to injections. So what is the disadvantage of going on vacation from diabetes? Well, a short time period is normal, but when it starts to affect your daily diabetes care, that’s when something needs to be changed. Diabetics are 2-3x more likely to have depression, so talking with a therapist would be the right choice of action. I’ve done this many times, so I can definitely recommend it.

Until the next time we meet, have a great evening!
