#250: She Had Confidence in Everything—Except Diabetes

In this episode, Dr. Mark talks with Meg, a registered dietitian who’s lived with type 1 diabetes for 26 years. For much of her life, Meg kept diabetes in the background—taking insulin, but never really accepting the condition or believing she could manage it well. She avoided her pump and CGM, skipped checks, and did everything she could to hide diabetes from others.

A hospitalization in 2016 changed everything.

With honesty and humor, Meg shares how that wake-up call helped her take ownership of her T1D—and how, step by step, she rebuilt her confidence and transformed her daily life. From embracing diabetes tech to becoming a dietitian who now helps others do the same, Meg’s story is one of resilience and rediscovery.

If you’ve ever felt like diabetes is the only part of your life you can’t get a handle on, this episode will hit home.
