"KNOWING about diabetes and UNDERSTANDING what it means to live with diabetes are two different things." --We love this from Rachel Zinman on blood sugar guilt, body image + self-acceptance. #livebeyond https://t.co/EXgVQ9MKFU

Being a person in recovery and a professional in the field requires a lot of introspection. But, certain priorities have to emerge:

1. Reducing the risk of death is #1; people can’t ever recover if they die

2. What worked for me doesnt mean it will work for others

@Rubberbandits I know you were sick but did you lose that stone? I downloaded the fitness pal app! Just started following you on Twitter - loving the podcast hugs - listened to about 10 of them so far! Thanks for your work.

Changing the way we talk about drugs helps break down stigma. It supports the people who use drugs as they make efforts to improve their health, by accessing treatment. Make a positive change. Help #endstigma and #stopoverdoses.
