✍️ Episode Description:

"Reverse your diabetes in 30 days!"
"Remission is the goal!"
"Get off all your meds!"

If you’ve been bombarded with buzzwords like reversal and remission, but they’ve only left you confused, pressured, or straight-up annoyed-you are not alone.

In this episode of Sick of Pricks, we break down what those words actually mean (clinically and emotionally), why they’re often misunderstood, and how they can mess with your mindset. From the reality of blood sugar management to the guilt spiral when your numbers fluctuate, we’re getting real about what matters more than a label.

💥 Whether you’re in remission, nowhere near it, or don’t even want it, this conversation will give you the clarity (and the permission) to focus on what works for you.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between remission and reversal (and why one of them is mostly marketing)
• Why chasing a label can lead to burnout and shame
• How to reframe “progress” in a way that’s actually sustainable
• What to ask your doctor when the buzzwords start flying
• How to ditch the guilt and build a plan that supports your reality

Episode Description:

Blood sugar swings can feel like emotional whiplash. One minute you’re shaking and sweating through a low, the next you’re rage-walking your way out of a high, and somehow you’re still expected to function like a normal human.

In this episode of Sick of Pricks, we’re having a real, unfiltered conversation about what it’s like to live through the rollercoaster of highs and lows with type 2 diabetes. We’re covering:

• What low blood sugar really feels like (and why it makes you want to eat the entire kitchen)
• Why high blood sugar hits so hard, physically and emotionally
• Tips for treating, recovering, and preventing crashes-without shame or perfection
• What to do (and NOT do) when you’re over 250 mg/dL
• How to stop judging yourself for your numbers and start showing yourself some damn grace

This isn’t just about correcting the number. It’s about protecting your energy, your peace, and your confidence.

Because your blood sugar isn’t a grade. It’s a signal. And you’re allowed to respond with care, not criticism.

If you’ve ever crushed a diet, lost the weight, followed the plan, got the compliments, but still ended up feeling like you failed yourself... this episode is for you.

In today’s Sick of Pricks real talk session, we’re digging into why being “good at diets” hasn’t translated into long-term health, sustainable habits, or peaceful blood sugar, and how that mindset might be quietly sabotaging your progress with type 2 diabetes.

You’ll hear:

• Why diet success doesn’t equal diabetes management success
• How diet culture taught you to shrink, not sustain
• Why perfectionism and shame keep you stuck
• How to shift toward consistency, stability, and real self-trust
• The difference between eating for weight loss vs. eating to feel better

This is not about blaming your past self. It’s about freeing your future self.
