This week, The Diabetic Mammy explores the quiet exhaustion that comes from making hundreds of diabetes decisions every single day. From carb counting to correction doses, diabetes never clocks off - and neither do we. But that mental overload can slowly wear us down, turning everyday decision fatigue into full-blown burnout.

In this episode, Catherine unpacks what decision fatigue feels like, how it leads to burnout and most importantly how to soften the load. Expect honesty, grace and gentle reminders that “good enough” is often exactly what we need.

💙 Takeaway: You’re not lazy, you’re human — and managing diabetes is already a full-time job.

The Diabetic Mammy is the heartfelt, no-nonsense podcast where type 1 diabetes meets motherhood, community, and a whole lot of real talk. Hosted by Catherine, a mammy navigating the highs and lows of type 1 diabetes, each episode blends personal insight with practical wisdom, offering support for parents, carers, and anyone living with or loving someone with diabetes. From tech transitions and hospital diagnoses to school lunches and stolen sleep, this podcast embraces the messy, meaningful moments that make up life with chronic illness. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or a seasoned warrior, The Diabetic Mammy is your space to feel seen, supported, and never alone.
