Hack or Tip of the Week

An oldie but a goodie...

Write your 2021 diabetes goals and make them visible. Rewrite them every day.

If you can see them somewhere every day, it's easier to keep them top of mind as long as you don't let them become part of the scenery.

How did your 2020 diabetes goals go? What are you planning to accomplish in 2021? Make a plan, because if you don't, you're planning to fail.
