Is it really possible to thrive with such a physically and mentally draining disease? Kate, a 27 year old with Type 1 Diabetes since 10 years old, discusses her highs and lows living with a chronic illness. Along with this, she sits down with a variety of guests that give insight on topics such as mental health, traveling, exercise, diet, and life's big moments with diabetes.

#29 Dear Diabetes Doctors… Everything We Wish Our Endocrinologists Knew
This week Heather and I go off about our experiences at the endocrinologist… Obviously we’ve had some good experiences with endos but we have a lot to say about the bad ones. We talk about our worst times going to get our A1Cs checked, some horrible things that the doctors have said, anxiety around going to the ends, how to advocate for yourself, what we wish they knew, and more!
This episode is for entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice. We are just speaking from our personal experiences which may be completely different from your own. Consult your doctor before making any changes.
