Diabetic Daddy Burnout Survival Guide
⚡ Diabetic Daddy Burnout Survival Guide
Diabetes is a full-time job. But you shouldn't have to feel like you're working overtime.
Living with Type 1 diabetes means making decisions all day, every day. Numbers, insulin, food, alarms, appointments, supplies, exercise — and somehow you're still expected to get on with normal life.
The Diabetic Daddy Burnout Survival Guide is a practical, down-to-earth resource designed to help you recognise diabetes burnout, reduce the mental load and find realistic ways to look after yourself as well as your diabetes.
