#41 Why is community so important for diabetics? with Tini @ragebolusbabe
Community has been a huge part of growing confidence and finding acceptance for diabetes for both Kate and Tini. On this episode we get to talk all about the various ways community has improved our mental and emotional wellbeing. We touch on "hot diabetic summer" and how were prepping for our devices to be out in the open with the warmer weather. Tini also tells me all about "Hot Diabetic Club", a community she created to offer resources and ways to connect with other diabetics.
