This week TR&L take a deep dive into what it means to be accountable to your health as a person with a chronic condition. Especially for People With Diabetes (PWD), accountability is the foundation for staying healthy or for becoming healthier. It is your responsibility to look after your body. Have a listen to learn exactly what that means for every step along the road map of good/better health. Having a chronic condition, like diabetes is a 24/7/365 chore that regardless how much you want to ignore it will only get worse if you turn your back on it!

Being healthy (or getting and staying healthy) is a life long challenge.  If you want your life to be LONG you have to CHOOSE to be on a healthy path.  Make small changes every day, then every week and before you know it you will have taken the healthy road towards living a healthier life.

Please join us on this episode to learn about accountability.
