About this episode

The episode discusses the emotional challenges faced by Type 1 diabetics and the importance of mental health in managing the condition.

As Type 1 diabetics, doing nothing isn’t neutral — it’s decline. There is no maintenance mode. Every single day we choose to intervene. We choose to fight. But this isn’t just about insulin and numbers. It’s burnout. Anxiety. Fear. Exhaustion. The mental weight no one sees.
