Diary of a Reluctant Diabetic

Denial, anger, depression and shame - Type 2 diabetes can lay the ultimate guilt trip. That’s what CBC journalist and musician Emily Brass discovered when she was diagnosed. She also discovered that even though a whopping 1 in 3 Canadians has diabetes or pre-diabetes, nobody seems to talk about it! Forced to make big changes, Emily opens up about her personal struggles in a series of intimate diaries, seeking out other diabetics who help her get answers and smash the hurtful stereotypes about Type 2. Whether you’re living with diabetes, or have ever tried to make changes to get healthier, Emily’s journey will make you think differently about Type 2 and the people who live with it. This episode of The Doc Project is made in collaboration with CBC Manitoba’s original podcast series Type Taboo: Diary of a New Diabetic by Emily Brass and Bridget Forbes. Listen to the full series on CBC Listen or wherever you get your podcasts.
