A positive attitude can help you manage your diabetes, as well as your overall health. For Qiang, staying active and spending time with loved ones help her stay optimistic and focused on meeting her diabetes management goals each day.

“I’m in control of my diabetes and don’t have any worries. I can do whatever I want.”

Diabetes can affect you emotionally, as well as physically, which is why it’s important to have close relationships with people in your life who can provide support when needed. Qiang comes from a close-knit family that is always available to help her live a life that’s unlimited.
