This is Episode 1 in a new mini-series for Body Kindness: Self care for diabetes. We need to talk about diagnosis shame because it's real. Doctors, family and strangers on the internet make it seem like "it's your fault" if you get a diagnosis of diabetes or a "warning" of "prediabetes' and it's especially mean when your weight is to blame.

Tune in for our tips on shame resilience and taking meaningful action toward positive change.
