Everyone everywhere is talking about mental stress and prioritizing sleep.

The Irony - the very people who need it the most are often the ones pushing their limits

In this hustle bustle and achieving milestones we are often forgetting the most important aspect of healthy boundaries, true wellbeing of people who work for us or of our own.

It’s time we ask ourselves and our near ones -
‘Are they doing okay’ !

‘Is there anything you need help with’ ?

‘What is it that is being a hurdle for them to help them care for themselves’ or take the necessary break !

‘I am here for you if you need anything’

Let’s figure out if we need a shoulder to lean on or be the support system of someone to ease their burden.
Let’s ease workplace burnout

The community of people with type 1 diabetes would appreciate if people/well meaning relatives and friends could stop giving advices but clarify the facts, creating awareness about the condition with the correct information would be the best way to support rather than treating them as ‘less fortunate’.

Disheartened by the recent multiple incidents of schools unable to support children with Type 1 Diabetes. A child with type 1 diabetes have their share of struggles of need for insulin multiple times a day and glucose pricks multiple times a day- even if they step up to the manage their diabetes well, the system pulls them down - the school is an institution that they spend maximum time in, a happy childhood and memories develop with friends, eating together but if this is snatched due to lack of school support, lack of awareness of people and an understanding of the need of insulin administration - what hope the child will have! The school system needs a proper education on health and wellbeing, knowing basics of care in children with type 1 diabetes. There are resources to seek, support groups to reach out to, if only we ask, we seek and are open minded- there would be hope and we can build a team - the parents, the school system, the T1D community, the doctor and the child at center.
