How Your Diabetes Emotions Are Holding You Hostage

When you live with diabetes or care for someone with diabetes, you carry the weight of constantly being aware of your blood sugar and that can become incredibly exhausting! Sometimes, you may feel confident and in control, and other times, you may feel defeated. If you are experiencing difficult emotions such as burnout or frustrations around your diabetes, know that this is completely normal, but can be managed to protect your mental health and wellbeing.

I know you may want to throw your CGM across the room or even ignore your diabetes for a while, but instead, I want you to pause and take a deep breath. Diabetes is hard and can feel all-consuming, but I am here to guide and support you through your journey. 

In this episode of the Diabetes Psychologist Podcast, I explain how we can become hostage to the stories we tell ourselves about T1D when we are having a difficult time. I share tips on how to break free from the chains of T1D so you can get back to living your life.
