NOVEMBER is National Diabetes month but today is
💙 National Diabetes Day 💙
This year hits different because I’m walking into it newly diagnosed with LADA — still learning, still adjusting, still trying to make sense of a diagnosis that flipped my world in ways I didn’t see coming.
I’m navigating this with a mama heart, a full household, a business, and a mind that already carries more than most people know. Some days I’m Googling symptoms between diapers and dinner. Some days I’m scared. Some days I feel strong. Most days… I’m all of it at once.
Being newly diagnosed means I’m rebuilding my routines, my confidence, and my sense of “normal.”
It means honoring the anxiety that comes with not knowing what tomorrow’s numbers will look like.
It means letting myself feel the frustration without judging myself for it.
It means learning a whole new language of my body — slowly, gently, imperfectly.
And doing all this while mothering? Whew.
There are moments I want to cry in the bathroom and moments I feel like a warrior.
Moments I question everything and moments I’m proud of how far I’ve already come.
My mental health has had to stretch and adjust right alongside my body.
But I’m choosing to believe in myself.
I’m choosing to learn.
I’m choosing to keep showing up — for me, for my babies, for the life I’m building.
Today, I honor the woman who’s still figuring it out.
The newly diagnosed mama doing her best.
The human behind the numbers.
The heart behind the healing. 💙✨
If you’re new to this too… you’re not alone. We’ll learn our way through this together.
