Diabetes can make it so much harder to have a healthy relationship with food and our bodies – but it’s not impossible.
Join hosts Emilee and Maryna as they have a spirited conversation with Katy Harvey, who is a Registered Dietitian and Intuitive Eating Expert.
Learn what intuitive eating is, why diabetes can distort our relationship with food (and what to do about it) and how the rules we make up for ourselves are unnecessary to say the least!
Katy shares some great tips about embracing food freedom as we talk all about the hurdles we have to jump to eat and manage diabetes, how to have more self compassion, and so much more.
If you've struggled even just a little bit with food or body image (most most diabetics do), you won’t want to miss this!
(Is every episode secretly a therapy session? For free?)

Welcome back to Under the Insulin! We’re kicking off Season 2 with a juicy conversation with all your hosts about some of the wackiest myths and misconceptions we’ve heard about diabetes over the years, including (but not limited to) ridiculous superfood “cures”, gross misrepresentations of T1D on TV, and the double standards faced by people with diabetes.
The conversation gets real as we set straight the differences between Type 1 and Type 2, share hilarious misunderstandings people have had about our diabetes gear, and even go into the genetics of passing diabetes onto your kids.
We’ve got some funny stories, some interesting facts, and a lot of laughs.
Join us as we share our lived experiences, debunk these myths, and offer some genuine support for the Type 1 community!
Maybe we’ll finally crack the cure (Probably not, but at least we can laugh about it).
