In this episode, Dr. Mark talks with Deeksha, a counseling psychologist from India who has been living with T1D for 25 years. This conversation dives into the unique challenges of managing T1D in India, a country where access to diabetes care, technology, and mental health support is limited.

Deeksha shares her personal journey, from being diagnosed at the age of four in a small town with limited resources to becoming a passionate advocate for mental health in diabetes care. She talks about the emotional toll of managing diabetes, the fear of complications, and the importance of balancing information and boundaries with tools like CGMs.
