We are nearing the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, but we couldn't have missed this important topic! From small, day-to-day stressors and burdens to larger scale, chronic mental health issues, everyone needs to create their own path to balance and stability. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes bring additional challenges to already complicated lives, but in the midst of this we can strive to find moments of peace, glimmers of light, and hope through connection.
