In Episode 9 the idea of decision burden in type 1 diabetes was introduced.
In this episode, we go deeper. Because every number comes with a choice. And every choice carries weight.
On their own, these decisions seem small. Together, they are relentless.
Episode 44 explores the invisible toll of decision fatigue - the constant cognitive load, the pressure to get it right, and the quiet emotional thinning that follows. From everyday “should I bring backup?” moments to high-stakes insulin calls, we name the mental labour that so often goes unseen.
If your brain feels like it is always on, this one is for you.
We talk empathy, practical ways to ease the load, and why naming the burden matters.
You are not weak. You are carrying more than most can see.
🎧 Tune in for understanding, solidarity, and a little grace.
