In our latest Diabetech Live, Mary Rose CDCES and I talk about diabetes distress and the many ways it shows up—burnout, worry, frustration, fear of lows, tech issues, financial pressure, and the everyday emotional weight of managing this condition. It affects far more people than many realize.

We also discussed practical ways to ease that stress, from adjusting CGM alerts and simplifying tech to using routines, having backup supplies, and working with a diabetes educator instead of handling everything alone. We answered viewer questions live and I shared a few moments from my own journey that shaped how I approach lows, tech failures, and social situations today.
