If you live with diabetes, can you still love your body? Or do you resent it for betraying you or fear it’s breaking down? Do you ignore your body except for your lab numbers, or do you give it loving attention?

In our society, you aren’t supposed to pay attention to your body, except to how it looks. We take the inner workings of our bodies for granted. A chronic illness like diabetes comes along and can damage our relationship with our bodies.

A body that is not loved and not attended to is much more likely to break down.

An unwell body can cause anxiety and grief, so it’s easier to ignore it. If you make the effort to love your body, though, you may start to feel better. Your glucose control may improve, too.

Remember, your body is what makes it possible for you to experience life. When this one’s done, it may be a long time before you get another one. Love your body fiercely, like a mother tiger loves her cubs. Be good to it.
