As a Diabetes Wellbeing Coach, I see many patients make similar mistakes when it comes to managing their condition on a day-to-day basis. Here are the 7 most common mistakes I see, and how you can avoid them

Living with diabetes can be a challenging journey, but it doesn’t have to be a lonely one. As a Diabetes Wellbeing Coach, I’ve met many patients who struggle with managing their condition on a day-to-day basis. Despite the challenges, I’ve also seen incredible stories of resilience, courage, and determination.

I remember meeting a patient who had been diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago. She was struggling with her diagnosis and feeling overwhelmed by the many lifestyle changes she needed to make. She found it challenging to keep track of her blood sugar levels, stick to a healthy diet, and stay motivated to exercise regularly. She felt like her life had been turned upside down and that diabetes had taken over her life.

As her Diabetes Wellbeing Coach, I helped her develop a personalized treatment plan that worked for her. We focused on small, achievable goals that helped her build confidence and momentum. We celebrated every small win along the way, from a better understanding of how her body responded to food to finding an exercise routine that she enjoyed. With time and perseverance, she gained control over her diabetes and started living life on her terms.

However, I’ve also seen patients who struggle to manage their diabetes due to common mistakes that could have been avoided. 

Here are the 7 most common mistakes that I see, and how you can avoid them:

1. Not monitoring blood sugar levels regularly: It’s important to check your blood sugar levels regularly to make sure they’re within a healthy range. Without monitoring, it’s difficult to know if your treatment plan is working and if adjustments need to be made.

2. Skipping or delaying meals: When you have diabetes, it’s important to eat regular meals and snacks to keep your blood sugar levels stable. Skipping or delaying meals can lead to low blood sugar levels, which can be dangerous.

3. Not exercising regularly: Exercise is an important part of managing diabetes as it can help control blood sugar levels and improve overall health. Not getting enough physical activity can make it harder to manage your diabetes.

4. Not taking medications as prescribed: It’s important to take your medications as prescribed by your doctor. Not doing so can lead to poor blood sugar control and increase the risk of complications.

5. Not eating a healthy diet: Eating a healthy diet is an essential part of managing diabetes. This means choosing foods that are low in sugar and saturated fat, and high in fiber, vitamins and minerals.

6. Smoking and drinking alcohol: Both smoking and drinking alcohol can be harmful to people with diabetes, as they increase the risk of complications such as heart disease and nerve damage.

7. Not visiting the doctor regularly: Regular check-ups with your doctor are important for managing diabetes. Your doctor can monitor your condition, adjust your treatment plan if needed and check for any complications.

While these mistakes may seem minor, they can have a significant impact on your diabetes management and overall health. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can improve your chances of living a healthy life with diabetes.

In conclusion, managing diabetes can be a lifelong commitment, but it doesn’t have to be a lonely journey. As a Diabetes Wellbeing Coach, I’m here to help you navigate the challenges and celebrate the wins along the way. Remember to consult your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns about managing your diabetes. Together, we can develop a personalized treatment plan that works for you and helps you live your best life. Don’t let diabetes hold you back – take control of your health and live life on your terms!
