Ep 65 - Building Trust in Daily Diabetes Decisions, with Kaycee Parker


Listen Later

Today, we welcome back Kaycee Parker for our ongoing series highlighting topics from her book, Devotions on Diabetes. Kaycee, who has been managing type 1 diabetes since she was 12, is a dedicated wife, an amazing mom of two, and holds a journalism degree.

In this episode, we'll explore Day 27 of Devotions on Diabetes. If you don't have a copy, visit the link in the show notes to purchase one. Kaycee will share her journey with choosing a pump and the closed-loop technology, learning how to trust herself when deciding this pump system did not fit her needs at the time. and we also shared tips and trusting our decisions, like choosing insulin delivery system that works best for you and our decisions on how to best treat low blood sugars depending on the circumstances and our own experience.

We'll also delve into making decisions aligned with God’s will. Kaycee reflects on Psalms 20:7, emphasizing where we place our trust—be it family, healthcare teams, or God. She highlights the importance of trusting in the Lord, as stated in Psalms 33:4.

Kaycee shares additional verses for encouragement: Proverbs 3:5, Isaiah 41:10, and 2 Timothy 2:13.

We close with a reflection on where we place our trust, tuning out the noise demanding our attention, and shifting our perspective to trust in God and those He puts in our lives to guide our decisions.

Don't miss this episode for a heartfelt discussion on faith and practical diabetes management. Reach out to Kaycee and me with your feedback. I'm sure you'll enjoy another episode with Kaycee Parker as much as I do recording it!
