Picking the brain of a T1D & Dietitian with Tiana Lavin
Description
Jess and Wendy sit down with registered dietitian Tiana Lavin, who brings both clinical insight and lived experience with type 1 diabetes. Tiana shares her diagnosis story, from being brushed off to landing in the ER with DKA during college finals, and the tough stretch that followed with restrictive eating and confusing advice.
Tiana talks about what she wishes she knew sooner, like why chasing “perfect” numbers can backfire. We also get into the strategies that actually help! Tiana also digs into mental health and the power of finding even one person in the diabetes community.
