We've all met or known people in our lives who have diabetes. Diabetes is a long-lasting health condition that affects how the body turns food into energy. The food you eat is broken down into sugar and turns into glucose. It is then released into the bloodstream. When the blood sugar goes up, the pancreas is signaled to release insulin, but when you have diabetes, your body cannot make or use insulin well. It then leads to long-term health conditions and, eventually, death. As debilitating as this disease is, there is something we can do about it. One way to combat this disease is to know what it is all about and what we can do to prevent it.

In this episode, we are joined by Kimberly Ellis. She is a Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in diabetes education and management, chronic disease prevention & management.

There are misconceptions about nursing that many people don't understand. As nurses, we struggle with many things, and as part of the healthcare system, we are expected to be at a particular place in the hierarchy. We are often looked down and are expected to "do as we're told" rather than a colleague. While this isn't always the case, it is happening in many hospital settings. How can we change these misconceptions? What can nurses do to help each other?

In today's episode, we welcome our guest, Theresa Brown. She is a nurse turned author of the New York Times bestsellers Critical Care, The Shift, and Healing: When a Nurse Becomes the Patient. She also shared her experiences as a nurse and patient after being diagnosed with cancer.

An empowered nurse is confident. They are highly effective and reliable in and out of their workplace. However, not all nurses are the same. Sadly, some of us are only there for the money, not to make a difference in our jobs and patients' lives.
