Two dads of T1D daughters, on a podcast, trying to figure it all out. Educated just enough to be dangerous, Alan, Mark and their families depart the hospital and head home with their T1D daughters...but what are they supposed to do next? What medical supplies do they need at the house? What do they stock the pantry and the fridge with? And what do they do at night, the scariest time, whilst their daughters are sleeping and they're sat up worrying? This episode shares their return home and how they and their kiddos went about finding their new groove...#DPodcastWeek #SpareaRose #SaveaChild

Tonight we’re encouraging you to ‘LOVE YOURSELF, LOVE YOUR DIABETES HEALTH!’ with musical inspiration from George Michael.  George Michael was one of the leading pop stars of the 1980s and '90s. His 1987 album 'Faith' won a Grammy for best album of the year. February has long been celebrated as a month of romance.  When we think about love, we generally think in terms of who loves us and whom we love, both of which refer to others. But what if Valentine’s Day were really about falling in love with ourselves, cherishing ourselves, and honoring our health. So many of us are programmed to constantly be taking care of others. We say there isn’t enough time to concentrate on ourselves or we think that it would just be an unnecessary indulgence. However, the truth is making  yourself and your diabetes health a priority in your life is much more than just a great way of life, it's also a smart way to avoid a diabetes health-related complication.  We’re throwing our first-ever Divabetic Valentine’s Day Party! We’re sharing expert advice on food to nourish your heart, fashions to boost your spirit and fabulous diabetes self-care tips to make your life easier. Whether you’re married, single or dating, our goal is to encourage you to show how much you care about yourself and your diabetes health. Guests including Chef Ward Alper aka ‘The Decadent Diabetic, ‘Rich In Love’ style blogger, Vintage fashionista, model and diabetes advocate, Doris Hobbs, the Charlie’s Angels of Outreach, Poet Lorraine Brooks and Laura Laria, MA, CASAC-T, Addiction Counselor and Developer of t'he Well Armed Diabetic'. Throughout the podcast we will be featuring music by George Michael courtesy of SONY Music. This podcast supports the 'Spare A Rose, Save A Child' campaign and is part of #DPodcastWeek.

This week: OpenAPS, Looping, Happ - a bunch of weird sounding terms that are changing the way many manage diabetes.  Tim Street has lived with type 1 for 28 years, he writes a blog called Diabettech. Tim talks about the DIY systems out there right now (he's tried almost all of them) and about all the new choices for people with diabetes available now an in the next few years. Lots of conversation in this show about the “art of the possible." It's also Diabetes Podcast Week! This is the second year of Stacey's campaign to bring together podcasters and video bloggers to benefit Spare a Rose, Save a Child. Diabetes in developing countries can be a death sentence. This Valentine’s day, considering donating the cost of just one rose. That can keep a child with type 1 alive for a month. A dozen roses? That cost can cover a year. Spare a Rose benefits Life for a Child, an International Diabetes Federation Program.
