You’re not alone in this. And you’re not stuck.Thanks for listening...and if this episode hit home, share it with someone else who needs to hear it.***🫶🏻 Connect with Mary: On FacebookOn IGOn TikTokJoin The Sisterhood, Mary's wellness program for women hereFind diabetes support for women here--> Sugar Mama Strong Diabetes SupportFind diabetes support for men here--> Dudes with DiabetesMedical disclaimer: The information presented in this podcast is intended for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
