#8 Women's Health and Diabetes with Mary (@mary.type1)
This week Kate and Mary talk about women's health and living with diabetes. We go into yeast infections, antibiotics, abnormal PAP results, menstrual cycles, birth control, and how this can all affect blood sugar and diabetes management. We discuss some of our personal experiences related to these topics and what we've done to overcome them. This is not medical advice, please consult your doctor to find a solution that works for you before making any changes.
