About this episode

This episode discusses the mental exhaustion and constant decision-making faced by individuals living with Type 1 Diabetes.

Living with Type 1 Diabetes isn’t just physical — it’s mental too. Imagine making hundreds of health decisions every single day… no breaks, no pauses, not even during sleep. From counting carbs to correcting blood sugar, it’s a constant balancing act that most people never see. The exhaustion is real. The burnout is real. And the strength it takes? Also very real. Be kind. Be understanding. And if you’re living with it — you’re doing better than you think. >> ENJO...
