Hotline to Her is a space for honest, messy, and unfiltered conversations between diabetics. It’s for anyone living with diabetes who is tired of surface-level advice and conversations that skip over what’s really going on.
Each episode features call-ins from diabetics sharing real experience and ending with a question. Hosts Tini and Carson respond with lived experience, perspective, and honest reflection, with holistic wellness woven in to support you beyond diabetes.
Hotline to Her honors the truth that life with diabetes extends far beyond blood sugars.
27. Things We Wish We Knew at Diagnosis: Diabetes Lifestyle Edition
the conversation we needed from day one of our diabetes diagnosis, but nobody told us any of these things about actually living with it. tini and carson get into the stuff that doesn't show up in a pamphlet — body image, carb counting messing with your head, and how easily diabetes management can blur into disordered eating without you even clocking it.
this is part two of "things we wish we knew at diagnosis" — lifestyle edition. we're talking grief, rebuilding trust with your own body, health anxiety, therapy, and why compartmentalizing diabetes is sometimes the only way through. also: why the right community can change everything, and why it's okay to walk away from spaces that don't serve you.
quick heads up — this one touches on disordered eating and mental health, so take care of yourself listening.
it does get easier. we promise.
diabesties, pull up a chair.

28. Off the Hook #4: No Insulin at the Table?!
a restaurant told one diabestie she couldn't take insulin at the table — and what she was pushed toward instead had us fired up.
plus three more anonymous crazy diabetes stories that had us reacting in real time — a low blood sugar treated with condiment packets that ends in a very messy car ride, an insulin pump snatched off someone's body by a kid who didn't ask, and the classic "what's wrong with you?" after seeing a medical device.
we're also getting into gross low treatments, our go-to snacks, and why your diabetes doesn't come with a comment section.
