Ep 15 - Empowering Lives with Type 1 Diabetes: Overcoming Disordered Eating and Finding Acceptance with Jessica Dudzinski , BSN, RN, CDCES

In her second episode, we welcome Jessica Dudzinski back as she shares her personal journey with a topic she knows all too well. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes seventeen years ago, Jessica went through a challenging emotional journey, experiencing the stages of grieving outlined by Kubler Ross. She faced additional hurdles as a teenager, including disordered eating and accepting her diabetes, but found acceptance and overcame these struggles through her unwavering faith in God.

In this episode, we explore several thought-provoking topics. We discuss the prevalence of dieting, body image, and weight loss among women with type 1 diabetes. Jessica openly shares her own experience of recognizing and recovering from disordered eating. We shed light on the alarming statistics surrounding eating disorders in women with diabetes and address how prescribed diets can lead to rigidity and anxiety around food.

Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of carb-consciousness, dispelling misconceptions and highlighting the significance of consuming healthy carbohydrates. Jessica guides us in distinguishing between healthy habits and disordered eating, challenging cultural misconceptions about diabetes and its connection to eating disorders. We also provide valuable insights on seeking help and understanding the five stages of therapy.

Jessica's ultimate goal is to empower individuals emotionally and physically, enabling them to live long, happy, and healthy lives with type 1 diabetes. Through her personal experiences, she has gained invaluable knowledge and wisdom, which she now shares with others. Join us on this powerful episode as we embark on a transformative journey towards empowerment and acceptance.
