Type 1 In Midlife: Support for Women with Type 1 Diabetes Facing Perimenopause, Menopause, Hormonal Changes, Insulin Resistance, Weight Gain, and Blood Sugar Struggles

Ep 30 - The Power of Faith in Our Diabetes Journey with author Kaycee Parker


Listen Later

We're thrilled to reintroduce Kaycee Parker, who joined us in our inaugural episode. Having faced type 1 diabetes since age 12, Kaycee's path spans over three decades. Not only a devoted wife and loving mother of two, but she also holds a journalism degree. Since her previous appearance, her journey has transformed into a beacon of inspiration, showing us how faith can enrich our diabetes management journey.

Kaycee's website has undergone substantial updates to provide her followers with even more valuable content, becoming a resource hub, with faith as the theme of self-discovery, mental well-being, and recipes.

In this episode, Kaycee introduces a new Bible reading plan that aligns with the "identity" aspect of her book, "Devotions on Diabetes," a 30-day journal. "Identity" holds profound importance for Kaycee, transcending external factors and societal expectations. This rings especially true for women navigating challenges like T1D, where embracing one's identity becomes a powerful source of resilience.

We explore the tendency to prioritize material possessions over understanding our true selves and purposes. Kaycee's personal journey underscores the significance of adhering to core values and faith, rather than becoming ensnared by materialism. Our conversation includes my own faith journey, and together, we delve into the shared human experience of embracing authenticity and purpose.

Kaycee shares her excitement about new recipes she's been developing, which align with her goal of nurturing both body and soul. These recipes promote a balanced lifestyle that resonates with our true selves. We also discuss the practical resources Kaycee offers, driven by a combination of reader feedback, intuition, and organic writing evolution. Her faith emerges as a cornerstone, shaping her mission to empower others managing diabetes and guiding them toward direction and meaning.

As we conclude, Kaycee offers a glimpse into her upcoming projects, including more devotions for her blog and a Bible reading plan available on her website, http://www.devotionsondiabetes.com. Get ready to immerse yourself in this hope-filled conversation, enriched by Kaycee's insights that will inspire thought and empowerment. We hope you enjoy the show!
