The purpose of The Phunky Diabetic Podcast is to share the struggles, achievements, insights and opinions of diabetics, their loved ones, and the medical professionals who treat, support, and guide them along the way. Episodes will feature stories and discussions that will hopefully inspire, dissuade, entertain, and educate. My hope is that each episode will leave you with some degree of comfort, camaraderie or empathy, whether or not diabetes has touched your life in any way thus far. You should know that none of the statements made within this podcast should be construed as medical or legal advice in any way. Any changes made to your diet or diabetes management should be made only after consulting with a medical professional.
Thanks for listening! -Kate
