We know that diabetes can affect you in unpredictable ways, making it hard to know how you’ll feel or what type of activity you should do.
That’s why it’s important to remember that small victories count!
It doesn’t matter if you try something new or just do that little bit more of something you already do. Each step you take to move more can help with managing your condition.
