Oh, you think skipping meals is the answer to your problems? Darling, that’s not how it works! You need to eat, and you need to eat well. Starving yourself is not the solution. You have diabetes, not a license to neglect your health. It’s important to maintain a balanced diet and keep your blood sugar stable. Skipping meals will only make you feel weak and irritable.

And I hear you saying you’re afraid to eat. Sweetheart, you have to find a way to manage your blood sugar without living in fear. You’re not helpless, and you’re definitely not alone in this. There are plenty of resources and people out there who can guide you through this new chapter of your life.

Now, let’s talk about this diagnosis confusion. You’ve seen different doctors and heard different opinions. It’s overwhelming, I get it. But don’t let it paralyze you with fear. Take control of your health by finding a reliable endocrinologist who can help you understand your condition better. You’re young, and this is the time to learn how to manage your diabetes effectively.

Lastly, remember that feeling tired and scared is normal, but it’s not the end of the world. You have the power to take charge of your health, so do it! Embrace the changes, educate yourself, and trust that you’ll be able to live a full life with diabetes. Because, darling, you can do this!
