http://www.LoveDiabetes.com - Many of us feel a need to explain our blood sugar when it's not a "good" number. Sometimes we can, and sometimes we can't. Regardless of the outcome — don't let your blood sugar be the bad banana of your emotional wellbeing. A blood sugar is a blood sugar. Like a tank of gas, or a potted plant — you check it and react accordingly. A blood sugar should be treated no differently. For those of you mental masters who've perfected the art of disengaging blood sugar and emotions — please share your secret! Support "Allies Voice" and subscribe for FREE at AlliesVoice.com.

such a good video, a breath of fresh air and no guilt about the numbers. Still trying hard, and still falling. Things are good.

This video really hit home. I have to learn not to get emotional about a bad number and letting in control me instead I control it.

I agree about the numbers beins a roller coaster.I have decided what goes up has to come down,sometimes you have to go to insulin or new meds.whatever you have to to get it down.

Another bullseye! This is great. I think it gets so overlooked and what a concept…no one is perfect, why should I think I have to be. Wow, that lifts a lot of guilt. thanks
