I’ve been waiting for a discussion like this. It’s so incredibly complex. It’s hard to treat diabetes and also heal your relationship with food at the same time. At this point it feels impossible if I’m honest. As someone with ADHD it’s even trickier (to say the least). Can you do a discussion on how to manage diabetes if you have ADHD, PTSD, chronic stress that is managed to the best of your ability but still extremely high, and a history of BED. Send help. I don’t know how to juggle all of these issues and make any headway. It feels like I’m careening off a cliff and all I see around me is just the same mantras that I’m already trying to do. In the meantime, the suffering is extreme and real. It’s not lack of knowledge and not trying.
Oof! What she said about using Ozempic to hopefully bring glucose in range. If you need insulin, you need insulin. 🤯 I’m now feeling I’ve been in denial. My doc wanted to start insulin and my emotions collapsed. She put me on Rybelsus (pill form of Ozempic). I have lost weight and do eat less. Recovering from BED, I just couldn’t diet without triggering. I focus solely on carb count and testing my glucose repeatedly during the day. I’ve signed up for all the things Danielle offers. THANK YOU!!! ❤❤❤
I'm not sure how I feel about this. Like at 47:20 she talks about measuring blood sugar and says if you are more triggered to tread lightly, but like I feel like people should work on not being triggered by monitoring their blood sugar instead of potentially encouraging the stick my fingers in my ears and yell really loudly and ignore it approach. Maybe that isn't at all what she is talking about, and maybe what I am suggesting is exactly what she is doing, but this message is kind of a mess. Like at some point we need to stop trying to normalize people's neurosis around health markers and actually work to solve the issue of "this health marker is triggering so I'm not going to measure it." The solution to that shouldn't be "well then don't measure it." The solution should be "let's figure out why you are triggered and fix that so you can measure your blood sugar and not be triggered." Because if someone loses a foot or goes blind from diabetes they might have some regrets. Maybe the solution to restricting being triggering to people 100 pounds above normal BMI shouldn't be to never restrict, but to work with them to potentially restrict in a more moderate way and help them see how to do that while not being triggered. Because that isn't impossible, despite what this corner of the internet suggests. And fyi, glp-1s are not off label for weight loss anymore. They have all gone through extensive trials for weight loss and they are basically the biggest money maker for pharmaceutical companies now. This isn't some niche. This is where literally billions of dollars is going. And they are getting better and better. It is hard to judge what this lady actually tells her clients, but if she actually preaches that if you are 100 pounds above normal BMI and you have type 2 diabetes and it is more important to not trigger the person than to work on controlling blood sugar, she is probably doing more harm than good. To Sarah and Stefanie, I am legitimately interested in the answer to the following question: if each of your weights settled at 100 pounds more than you currently are while following intuitive eating (not unheard of in the intuitive eating community for women to stabilize at 300+ pounds apparently) would you really still be ok with your own body? What if that weight gain went along with worse measures of health and feeling like garbage? Really contemplate this. Would your message still be the same? I honestly don't think it would be.
This person's understanding of type 2 diabetes is lacking. In many cases, the level of insulin in a type 2 diabetics system is very high, the issue is the sensitivity of various types of cells to the insulin. When the muscle cells and fat cells become resistant to insulin, that is what causes the high blood sugar since they aren't uptaking the glucose, along with the insulin resistant liver not responding appropriately and shutting down gluconeogenesis when dietary carbohydrates are consumed. What I just said seems to be quite foundational in the understanding of type 2 diabetes. Sensitivity to insulin is the key and type 2 is really a completely different disease than type 1 since in type 1 there is no insulin produced and type 2 there is massive amounts.

Thanks so much for this really good comment and I wish that they would have responded to you because I was thinking of the same issues.
