Summary

Managing life’s highs and lows is hard enough without your blood sugar joining the rollercoaster. Annie Arnone joins the boys to dive into her experiences living with type 1 diabetes and borderline personality disorder (BPD), highlighting the often-misunderstood differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diagnosed at 16, Annie faced challenges that went far beyond managing insulin levels. From navigating stigma and bullying in high school to confronting the deep connection between chronic illness and mental health, her story is one of resilience. Annie’s journey toward acceptance sheds light on the importance of self-advocacy, awareness, and building supportive relationships while living with chronic illness.
