Thank you, Pitt County Health Department, for hosting a mindfulness session for the Diabetes Support Group yesterday! We reflected on mindfulness perceptions, defined mindfulness, reviewed research about mindfulness in diabetes care, and practiced together; I read “Thank You, Body” from my book - one of my favorite practices. Such a fun group to connect; it was an inclusive and welcoming space and demonstrated how valuable community support is in coping with chronic disease.

“You are always the expert of your experiences to know what you need and how to get there. Gentle reminder that you have survived the most difficult days with T1D, the easiest days, and everything in-between. May you feel empowered to trust yourself and be present for all the days ahead.”

I always enjoy reading books also written by people with T1D, and it’s especially fun when is referenced. In Nick Kundrat’s Positively Type 1, he cleverly divides the book into chapters based on the positive qualities that people with T1D exhibit while living with chronic illness…such as organization, patience, adaptability, and self-awareness/mindfulness. This book included brief interviews of different people living with T1D who exemplified each of the positive traits and described their takeaways from life with diabetes.
