#117: What Do You Want From Your Diabetes?

In today’s episode Eoin and Graham go through more ways we can benefit our Diabetes management.


A question that Eoin asks himself (and his clients) is, “what do you want from your Diabetes?”


Identifying what you want, and what you expect from your management, gives you the ability to understand what’s required to get you there (and keep you there).


The ‘numbers’ that you see (TIR% and A1C) aren’t just numbers. What’s important is what those numbers mean to us; our energy, our focus, our time, our mood, our performance, and ultimately, our health.

    Part 2 of Eoin's chat with Jye Warren (@the_average_athlete_), who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 25 years old and has spent the last 11 years navigating the highs, lows, and relentless mental demands that come with living with this condition every single day.One of the biggest turning points in Jye’s journey came when his eyesight became impacted because of his diabetes. What started as a frightening wake up call quickly became a moment that forced him to confront the emotional weight, fear, uncertainty, and reality of living with a chronic condition that never truly switches off.In this conversation, we dive deep into how that experience affected him mentally and emotionally, the resilience it took to keep moving forward, and how it ultimately changed the way he approaches his health, mindset, and life.We also discuss the hidden mental load of Type 1 diabetes, burnout, identity, community, and why so many people living with diabetes feel pressure to appear like they are coping even when they are struggling internally.As always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.
