Hello friends, and welcome to episode 834 of the Juice Box podcast.

Guess what everybody, Erica Forsyth is back, that's right, your favorite licensed, marriage

and family therapist is here again today.

I start the conversation off with Erica by asking her to talk about a sentence that I hear

spoken very frequently. People love to say, I don't let diabetes get in my way, I'm not letting

diabetes slow me down here at all the time, and I hear it two different ways when people say it

to me, and Erica and I talk through it, and then at some point we talk about how to change things,

and then it just goes down a slippery slope of my internal workings of my mind.

So that'll be fun, you can sit in on a therapy session with me at the end. While you're listening,

please remember that nothing you hear on the Juice Box podcast should be considered advice,

medical or otherwise. Please always consult a physician before making any changes to your

healthcare plan, or becoming bold with insulin. If you like Erica, and you'd like to hire her,

and you live in California, Utah, Oregon, or Florida, she's at Erica Forsyth.com.
