8. Jenn: Unlearning the "Shoulds" of a Diabetes Diagnosis

Jenn joins us in this episode to talk about their diagnosis with type 2 diabetes. Jenn is a dietitian and future diabetes educator and explores the idea of learning about diabetes as a clinician vs learning to have diabetes as a human.

This is the first of a two part series with Jenn. We focus in this episode on her personal experience. Join us next episode for part 2 were we talk more in depth about diabetes management and nutrition.

Here we cover:

How values, identities, and privileges play into experiences as a person with diabetes
Learning and unlearning messages and shame about what diabetes "should" look like and what being a professional "should" look like
The message of "I should know better" when it comes to getting diabetes as a health professional
How a diabetes diagnosis can re-trigger old eating disorder behaviors and thoughts
How anti-fatness can show up in diabetes care
How and why food groups (especially carbs) have been vilified over time
