Welcome at Diabetes Self-Management magazine May-June 2020 issue
Summer is getting underway, which means longer days and more time spent outdoors. You’ll find that our recipes (page 40) have been handpicked with this time of year in mind. From our selection of plantbased burgers to dishes that will inspire you to fire up the grill, you’ll be dining al fresco in style!
While all the time spent outside soaking up the rays can lead to a natural boost in mood, managing diabetes is hard work no matter the season, and you may need a little extra help maintaining your mental wellness. Whether you’re trying just a little too hard to achieve “perfect” blood sugar control (page 28), are looking for an empathetic peer to share in your diabetes dilemmas and victories (page 24), or are having difficulty overcoming a fear of needles to give yourself the best care possible (page 18), you will discover something in these pages that can help.
Maintaining memory is another crucial aspect of keeping our brains healthy. If you sometimes find yourself searching for lost keys or losing your train of thought mid-sentence, you may be concerned that it must indicate a serious issue. But the fact is, a lot of forgetfulness is just poor memory health. Get strategies to power up your recall in “Memory Fitness” (page 31).
Happy summer!
All the best,
Diane Fennell
