Episode 7: The Diabetes Comparison Trap
You’re doing your best… and then you see someone else post their A1C and suddenly you feel like trash. Welcome to the diabetes comparison trap — where someone else’s progress somehow makes you question your own.
In this episode, we get real about:
- Why comparing your journey to other people’s (especially online) is messing with your head
- What you don’t see behind those “reversed in 30 days” stories
- The damage this mindset causes — and what to focus on instead
- How to spot when comparison is sneaking in and shutting you down
- What actually helped me stop obsessing over everyone else’s numbers and start owning mine
This episode isn’t about pretending comparison doesn’t happen. It’s about not letting it derail you.
What to Do Next:
✔ Follow Sick of Pricks so you don’t miss the next one
✔ Share this episode with someone who's been stuck in the comparison trap
✔ Tag @sms_diabetes_support on IG and tell me: What’s your win this week?
Your journey is still valid — even if no one claps for it.
