26. Working with healthcare professionals

Throughout my journey, I prioritized regular check-ins with my doctor and a certified diabetes educator. These experts monitored my progress, adjusted recommendations, and ensured my approach was safe and effective. Having professional guidance also kept me accountable and up to date on the latest research. I found valuable resources through organizations like the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists. Partnering with healthcare professionals made a big difference in my long-term success.
