Christmas is meant to be enjoyed — yes, even with diabetes.

In Episode 2, we’re diving head-first into the festive season and talking all things Christmas feasting, carb counting, and navigating alcohol and cocktails while living with Type 1 diabetes. From big family breakfasts to festive drinks, mixers, and late-night hypos, we break down how to enjoy the celebrations without fear, guilt, or burnout.

Elise and Abby chat practical strategies for estimating carbs when nothing is labelled, how alcohol can impact your BGLs (both immediately and hours later), and tips for staying safe while still saying yes to that Christmas cocktail. This episode is all about balance, flexibility, and giving yourself permission to enjoy the season, diabetes and all.

Because managing diabetes shouldn’t mean missing out on the magic of Christmas.

In our very first episode of Sweet Talk, we dive into Abby’s story — diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2025 at the ripe old age of 28. Abby opens up about the whirlwind of challenges, unexpected wins, and what life looks like navigating a brand-new chronic condition as an adult.

You’ll get a real, honest, and lighthearted look into her journey, plus a sneak peek at where we’re heading in Episode 2. Spoiler: Christmas themed cocktails may make an appearance

Whether you’re living with Type 1, supporting someone who is, or just love a good deep-and-meaningful chat with a dash of Science backed diabetes data, this episode is the perfect place to start.
