Thrivabetic: Thriving with Diabetes
Why does your blood sugar have to spike to 300 after sitting at 50 for what felt like an eternity? And why are people still asking if you ate too much sugar when you were diagnosed? 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.

#30 Can a Negative Relationship to Diabetes be Healed?
On this week’s solo episode, Kate sits down to talk about her current mental state with diabetes and her thoughts on “healing”. She discusses changing how we view the term healing and what it actually means to feel better about diabetes. Sometimes we need to look back and see the small progress we’ve made each day and call that a win. We will never rid ourselves of anger, grief, frustration, sadness, loneliness, etc. We’re only human, after all.
