So, what exactly is Bittersweet Beat?
Bittersweet Beat is an educational, entertaining, and empathetic newsletter for diabetics of all types, someone who knows and loves a diabetic, or anyone wanting to learn more about diabetes—the lows, highs, and in-betweens. Each issue aims to breakdown the latest news surrounding the disease in different areas: healthcare, medical research and tech, politics, mental health, and more.
Beyond the news, Bittersweet Beat is a collection of convos with a diabestie, tried-and-true recipes and tips, medical must-haves, and pop culture picks with a side of real representation. Basically, it’s a chronically ill group chat you actually wanna be in—informative without being overwhelming, honest without being too heavy, and always grounded in the reality that diabetes is, indeed, bittersweet.
