Podcast Episode Recommendation from: The Diabetic Mammy, "Advocacy our own way"

This was a soothing and refreshing reminder of how many of us are advocates and we many not even realize it.

Find it on @TheDiabeticMammy on Instagram & Facebook.

There's a cold weather snap coming our way 🥶
At least some of us can keep our gloves on when checking our glucose levels. 😁

So i did this #TedX talk in October in Tralee -a different way of communicating for me- it was a nerve-wracking but fascinating experience, & met some wonderfully diverse speakers on the day. Hope it gets more notice for the Irish 🇮🇪 revolutionary women #tedxtralee #speirgorm youtu.be/FLRIKMiJ5Qc?...

Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes: The “4Ts”

I always remember the “4Ts” when talking about diabetes symptoms:
👉 Tiredness • Thirst • Toilet • Thinner 👈

The “4Ts” matter for both Type 1 and Type 2, though they can show up slower in Type 2

The multistage chart for type 1 diabetes. Please note that if you only test positive for 1 autoantibody you are unlikely to progress to later stage type 1. There is a lot of misinformation on social media about this aspect.

Think insulin resistance is a type 2 thing? It isn't. Type 1s are also insulin resistant, relative to non-diabetics. Previous studies suggest the cause is insulin running around the body, compared to non-diabetics where most of it gets cleared by the liver.

Diabetes Awareness & Myth-busting: Eating Sugar DOES NOT cause diabetes. Any type of diabetes.

Diabetes is a complex medical condition, and there is no single known cause.
