You’re doing your best… and then you see someone else post their A1C and suddenly you feel like trash. Welcome to the diabetes comparison trap — where someone else’s progress somehow makes you question your own. In this episode, we get real about: Why comparing your journey to other people’s (especially online) is messing with your head What you don’t see behind those “reversed in 30 days” stories The damage this mindset causes — and what to focus on instead How to spot when comparison is sneaking in and shutting you down What actually helped me stop obsessing over everyone else’s numbers and start owning mine This episode isn’t about pretending comparison doesn’t happen. It’s about not letting it derail you.

Let’s talk about the people who love you… but make your diabetes harder than it needs to be. This week on Sick of Pricks , we’re diving into what it feels like to manage type 2 diabetes around family, coworkers, and friends who just don’t get it. The unsolicited advice. The side-eyes at dinner. The sabotage wrapped in concern. You know the type. Inside this episode: Why their “help” feels like a guilt trip The emotional toll of constant comments about your plate, meds, or body How to shut it down with calm comebacks (or spicy boundaries) What to do when someone in your circle is actively sabotaging your progress The mindset shift that frees you from needing their approval Because you shouldn’t have to defend your diagnosis—or your choices—every time you show up for yourself. If you’ve ever left a family gathering feeling more judged than supported, hit play. And maybe send this to the relative who needs to hear it the most. **** Connect with Mary: Connect with Mary: On Facebook On IG On TikTok Join The Sisterhood, Mary's wellness program for women here Find diabetes support for women here --> Sugar Mama Strong Diabetes Support Find diabetes support for men here --> Dudes with Diabetes Medical disclaimer: The information presented in this podcast is intended for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
