In this powerful listener story, Meghan shares her unfiltered experience of Type 1 diabetes burnout — the slow, soul-sapping kind that sneaks in when you're too tired to fight it anymore. From perfect numbers to full-on rebellion, forgotten boluses, CGM breakdowns and a breakup with a man who thought T1D was like Slimming World (yep, he really said that)… Meghan takes us on a raw, emotional, and often hilarious journey back to herself.
Whether you're in the thick of burnout or clawing your way out, this episode is your sign that you're not alone, and that healing can start in the weirdest of ways.
What we cover:
The truth behind Type 1 diabetes burnout (and how it creeps in)
How perfectionism can backfire in diabetes management
Relationship challenges and diabetes misunderstandings
Hypo episodes and unexpected animal interventions
Rebuilding confidence and care, one step at a time
