When Ignorance Meets Type 1 Diabetes

In this episode of the Your Diabetes Insider Podcast, we're diving into a recent frustrating experience I had that wasn't about blood sugars, but rather about ignorance and respect. 

Picture this: Amelia, Roscoe P (our service dog), and I set out for some ice cream, but things quickly took a turn when a fellow patron decided to challenge both our patience and understanding. From a lengthy wait to an unwarranted confrontation about my disability, I share a raw recount of how a seemingly simple outing turned into a teachable moment about diabetes and service dogs. Join me as I unpack this encounter, reflect on a similar incident from the past, and highlight the crucial need for greater awareness and empathy for those living with invisible disabilities!
