Kenna Porter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 13, and for years she did everything she thought she was supposed to. She followed a strict paleo diet, worked out consistently, and built her life around healthy habits. But every time she went to the endocrinologist, she still couldn't seem to get her A1C below 7%.
Together, they talk about the frustration of feeling like nothing was working despite doing everything "right,", learning to let go of control, navigating pregnancy and motherhood with Type 1 diabetes, and the tangible shifts that helped diabetes finally feel lighter to live with.
WHAT WE COVER:
- Why doing everything "right" still wasn't enough to get her A1C below 7% and what she had to do instead

- The role comparison played in keeping her stuck, and how she finally broke free from it
- Why Kenna avoided connecting with other people with Type 1 diabetes for nearly a decade
