the conversation we needed from day one of our diabetes diagnosis, but nobody told us any of these things about actually living with it. tini and carson get into the stuff that doesn't show up in a pamphlet — body image, carb counting messing with your head, and how easily diabetes management can blur into disordered eating without you even clocking it.
this is part two of "things we wish we knew at diagnosis" — lifestyle edition. we're talking grief, rebuilding trust with your own body, health anxiety, therapy, and why compartmentalizing diabetes is sometimes the only way through. also: why the right community can change everything, and why it's okay to walk away from spaces that don't serve you.
quick heads up — this one touches on disordered eating and mental health, so take care of yourself listening.
it does get easier. we promise.
diabesties, pull up a chair.
