Diabetes Awareness
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and to celebrate I am going to share some of my favorite resources where you can learn more about diabetes.
This is a great resource for diabetic patients at any stage of their journey. It offers free community support, a section where patients can seek professional advice, and frequent livestreams. While I was wearing a CGM and seeking to really put myself in the shoes of a diabetic patient I learned a lot through this app. I was able to ask questions on the community forum, and read responses from other people in the community.
Melissa Slemp- A Diabetes Health Coach
I started following Melissa on Instragram a couple months ago, she offers a lot of educational posts and shares her personal experiences as a Type 1 diabetic. She served as a great resource as I was learning about CGM, and making dietary changes to keep my blood sugar stable.
I’ve been following along with Levels since I was part of their Beta testing, and while the program is focused on improving metabolic health there are a ton of educational blog posts that can help with diabetes education.
