Diabetes Diagnosis: How I Turned My Life Around with Ozempic and Self-Advocacy


Listen Later

Ep. 80 I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes while in the hospital recovering from her back surgery. I remembered the promise I made to myself in 2013 when in the same hospital recovering from a suicide attempt: “I’m going to do whatever I need to not to be here again”. I began to wonder:

  1. How does being diabetic affect day-to-day life? 
  2. How does my sugar addiction impact my body’s ability to heal?
  3. Will my family & friends understand my health needs and support my choices? 
  4. In this episode of the Healthy Illness podcast, I, Kelly Marie will cover:

    1. What is diabetes?
    2.  How is it managed?
    3. What is Ozempic and is it best for me?
    4. How can I advocate for myself with my doctors and loved ones on my healing journey?
