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.

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
