Living with a Health Condition That Never Clocks Out - How Faith Sustains Life with Type 1
“This is my life. This is outside of my control. I have to accept it–even the difficulty and the suffering of it.”
Our host, Kelly Meehan, is joined once again by special guest Natalie Black to dive into her story of resilience living with type 1 diabetes, as well as her practical advice for not simply living but thriving day-to-day with chronic disease.
Listen in as Natalie shares her poignant journey of adapting to life with type 1 diabetes from the age of nine, describing the early warning signs and that pivotal moment at the pediatrician's office when she learned the truth of what was happening to her.
But beyond the suffering, Natalie also celebrates the victories that come with embracing vulnerability and confiding in loved ones, as she lives her daily reality as a type 1 diabetic.
She also shares what she’s done to support her physical and mental well-being, including the importance of regular exercise, a balanced diet–perhaps above all–surrendering fully and completely to God.
