    Friendships & Diabetes

    Carson and Tini host an episode of "Hotline To Her" focused on navigating friendships while living with diabetes. They discuss shifting self-talk away from feeling like a burden, managing FOMO, and learning to take up space by prioritizing health without assuming you’re “killing the vibe.” They explore how expectations differ between close friends, wider circles, and acquaintances, and how to handle situations like choosing an Uber instead of walking due to insulin on board. They emphasize communicating needs, giving friends grace, and balancing independence with safety—making sure at least one person knows about diabetes and how to respond to lows, including teaching friends to use glucagon (especially on trips and work travel). They also discuss being a good friend as a diabetic by taking ownership (modifying plans instead of repeatedly canceling, not blaming bad behavior on high blood sugar, and avoiding projecting). They share stories of supportive gestures like friends packing low snacks, stocking juice, and reacting calmly to alarms. 03:03 You’re Not a Burden: Taking Up Space in Friendships 06:43 New Friends vs Old Friends: The Uber/Walk ‘Insulin on Board’ Story 10:03 Setting Standards & Giving Grace: Different Circles of Friends 18:11 How to Bring Up Diabetes Safety (Glucagon, Trips, Work Events) 23:28 Bad Friend vs Bad Diabetes Day 27:01 Stop Blaming Blood Sugar: Regulating Emotions & Not Projecting 28:28 Friends Who Get It: Low-Snack Stories & Small Gestures 32:34 How Much Should New Friends Know?
