In this brief episode of The Sugar Diaries with Bell, we’re breaking down some of the biggest misconceptions about type 1 diabetes—because there are a lot of them. From the idea that it’s caused by eating too much sugar to the assumption that it can be “reversed,” we’re setting the record straight and sharing what life with T1D actually looks like behind the scenes.

We dive into the everyday realities of managing blood sugars, the mental and emotional toll that people don’t always see, and why awareness matters more than ever. Whether you’re living with type 1 diabetes, love someone who is, or just want to learn the truth, this episode will leave you more informed, more understanding, and hopefully ready to challenge the myths when you hear them.
