“I was told I’d be dead in 10 years.
I stopped checking my sugars, stopped caring for myself, and felt embarrassed every time someone saw my devices.
I didn’t trust my own body… and that was the hardest part.”
In this episode, we unpack what it’s like to heal from that mindset:
How diabetes affects your self-esteem, your identity, your relationships, and the way you see your body.
And more importantly—how to flip the script and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
If diabetes ever made you feel ‘less,’ this conversation is exactly what your heart needs today.
