Rachel, a fellow diabetes educator and diabetic, spends some time with us to share her take on the diabetes management world. We talk about real-life diabetes management, how ableism shows up in standardized recommendations, and diabetes tech!

ABOUT US: We are two dietitians who specialize in diabetes care and eating disorders:

Kelly Six, MS, RD, CDCES, who really likes working in diabetes care because we get to have one foot in the nerdy side of diabetes and the other foot in the emotional side of living in the world with diabetes.
Erin Phillips, MPH, RD, CDCES, who really agrees with Kelly and couldn't have said it better herself.
We both love cats, snacks, and laughing too loud in Seattle coffee shops.
