Thrivabetic: Thriving with Diabetes
#17 How to Deal with Uncertainty and Loss of Control with Diabetes and Life
Show Notes

 This week Kate discusses the extreme emphasis that is put on diabetics to have complete control and manage blood sugar effectively. When there is a loss of control for a person with diabetes, the stakes can be high (hospitalization, coma, complications, death) or at least appear that way. Does this lead to becoming a control freak in diabetes and in life? For Kate, it seemed to have that effect and in this episode, she talks about how art helped find a balance between controlling what she could and letting go of what she couldn't.
