Explain your type of diabetes in the most creative way possible. Wrong answers encouraged (sort of).

Type 1: My pancreas quit without notice.
Type 2: The insulin showed up. Nobody's answering the door.
LADA: Type 1, but it took the scenic route.
Gestational: A plus-one nobody invited to the pregnancy.
Prediabetes: My body sent a strongly worded email.

We'll go first! How would you explain yours?

💜 Before prediabetes or type 2 diabetes has a name, there’s often a stretch of not feeling right. A lot of women tell us they spent months here.

✨ If that’s you, you’re not being dramatic. What did you notice first?

Intimacy is part of living well with diabetes, and it deserves a real conversation.

✨ Are you taking a GLP-1 medication or thinking about one? You may have questions about your body, your confidence or your relationship. You’re not the only one.

🗓️ Join board-certified s*x therapist Dr. Janis Roszler for “Love in the Age of GLP-1s” on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 12 PM ET. Bring your questions, and leave feeling more informed.

The things that live in the bag: glucose tabs from 2023, a stale granola bar, a meter somewhere under everything, and three pens of which two work.

What's the thing you always have with you, and the thing you always forget?

Preparing for an appointment is its own skill, and most of us learned it the hard way.

Some of what women in our community do: writing down their top three questions the night before, bringing numbers on paper instead of describing them from memory, and saying plainly when something feels off.

Our October meetups are coming up, and this is exactly the kind of thing that comes up in those discussions. Sign up today and join us at our meetups: https://hubs.ly/Q04z7ZR60

You’re not the only one.

Our recent community survey revealed something powerful about women living with diabetes.

• 50%+ say diabetes strongly impacts their relationships
• 1 in 5 say they don’t have supportive friends
• Nearly 80% say the best support comes from someone who
understands diabetes

That’s why community matters.

Some days we’re prepared. Some days we’re Googling. Some days we’re trying to figure out what made our blood glucose do THAT—and some days we’re just completely overthinking about diabetes.

The truth is, there’s no one way to show up for diabetes every day.

Sometimes the hardest part of moving your body is feeling like you have to do so much for it to count.

A full workout. A perfect routine. More time. More energy. More motivation.
And when you’re already tired or feeling stuck, that can make starting feel even harder.

But movement doesn’t have to look like an hour at the gym to matter. Small, realistic choices can support your strength, balance, health, and confidence over time.

If you’ve been telling yourself, “I know I need to move more… I just don’t know where to start,” this conversation is for you. 💛

Join DiabetesSisters and exercise and diabetes expert Sheri R. Colberg, PhD for Meaningful Movement: Exercise for Diabetes Prevention & Healthy Aging.

📅 September 28 ⏰ 7 PM ET
✨ Free to attend!
