Sick of Pricks-A type 2 diabetes podcast
Season 2, Episode 6: Everybody's Suddenly a Diabetes Expert
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Everybody suddenly has an opinion about diabetes.
Your coworker becomes a nutrition expert.
Your aunt has a miracle cure.
Some random guy on Facebook thinks cinnamon fixed everything.
And somehow your plate, your medications, your blood sugar, and your body become public discussion topics.
In this episode of Sick of Pricks, we’re talking about unsolicited advice, internet experts, food policing, medication judgment, and the emotional exhaustion of feeling constantly watched when you live with diabetes.
We’re also getting real about:
- why diabetes commentary hits so deeply
- the pressure to be the “perfect diabetic”
- constantly feeling like you have to explain yourself
- shame, judgment, and being perceived
- learning boundaries and protecting your peace
If you’ve ever been asked “should you be eating that?” while literally chewing your food…this one’s for you.
