Today's guest, Stephen Yarbrough, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 70 (in 2025) after undergoing immunotherapy treatment for melanoma.In an extremely rare outcome, the treatment that helped fight his cancer also triggered an autoimmune reaction that destroyed his pancreas' ability to produce insulin. Only a fraction of patients ever experience this, yet Stephen's journey shows how Type 1 diabetes can appear in unexpected ways and at any stage of life.Over the past 10 months, Stephen has learned to navigate glucose monitoring, insulin therapy and an entirely new type of daily routine.Shortly after his diagnosis, Stephen faced the heartbreaking loss of his wife of thirty-two years following her sudden pancreatic cancer diagnosis. His willingness to speak openly about grief, resilience and the lessons he has gained along the way offers a powerful perspective that will absolutely resonate with you.Today Stephen joins us to share his path through illness, adjustment and recovering, and his appreciation for life's blessings.As always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.

We're talking to Dr. Michael Haller, a peds endo who is at the forefront of these studies. We'll be talking about something called ATG – which looks really good in very low dose trials – and about the latest studies around inhaled insulin for kids – which is in front of the FDA right now.

This week we discuss diabetes mellitus, a group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up the muscles and tissues. It's also the brain's main source of fuel. The main cause of diabetes varies by type. But no matter what type of diabetes you have, it can lead to excess sugar in the blood. Too much sugar in the blood can lead to serious health problems. Chronic diabetes conditions include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include prediabetes and gestational diabetes. Prediabetes happens when blood sugar levels are higher than normal. But the blood sugar levels aren't high enough to be called diabetes. And prediabetes can lead to diabetes unless steps are taken to prevent it. Gestational diabetes happens during pregnancy. But it may go away after the baby is born.

If you're a fan of Disney and you live with type 1 diabetes, you might just have come across today's guest. Ruby Valentino is an actor and singer, and to date she has amassed over 2 million likes on TikTok alone on her path of tuneful advocacy, inspiring others and reworking a few classic disney songs with a type 1 twist along the way.But for a long time Ruby's diabetes was far from the spotlight, and in this episode we discuss how she used to hide in the toilets to inject after her diagnosis aged 13, and her struggles to talk about her feelings. In this chatty episode, we talk about becoming a proud diabetic and a role model for young type 1s, acting school, going viral and using negative comments as fuel to keep making content, finding ingenious places to put your insulin pump, the perks of being a type 1 partner you may not have thought of, and how type 1 diabetes can help you wean out the people that don't deserve a place in your life!

With lots of family time coming up this week for many of us, it's a great time to talk about screening for type 1. While this might seem to be a real downer of a Thanksgiving conversation, screening is now considered standard of care for people with a family history of T1D. My guests want to get the word out about that – and they've both walked the walk. Adam Schefter is ESPN Senior NFL Insider – his wife lives with type 1.. and Dr. Shara Bialo is a pediatric endo who lives with type 1. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

In this special 200th episode of Reclaim Your Rise, I sit down with Risely coaching alum Layne—an ICU nurse practitioner who has lived with type 1 diabetes for over 30 years—to explore a struggle I know so many in our community quietly carry: the weight of comparison, perfectionism, and those triggering “perfect” flat-line graphs. Even with an A1C of 5.8, Layne shares how she felt mentally drained from micromanaging every detail of her diabetes and questioning whether true freedom and stable numbers could ever exist together. She opens up about the years when flat graphs came only from restriction, and how that left her wondering if peace was possible without losing herself again. In our conversation, Layne reflects on how she learned to redefine progress, shift her mindset, and rebuild trust with her body in a way that finally brought her steadier days and more ease. I'm so excited for you to hear this honest, raw, and deeply relatable story. And to celebrate episode 200, I'm hosting a special giveaway for the community—details are inside!

Please note this episode of Type 1 on 1 contains honest discussion of severe depression at around 1'08", including suicidal thoughts. No matter how long you've been living with or close to type 1 diabetes, it remains an incredibly complex condition to understand. And while there's a wealth of information out there to dig into, knowing what to pay attention to can be just as daunting. John Pemberton is a diabetes technology consultant, children's dietician, researcher and has been living with type 1 diabetes himself for around 20 years. So if you're looking for research-backed information about the right insulin pump, want to know why 20 minutes of walking is the magic key to a stubborn high glucose reading, or you just need to start with the basics without getting overwhelmed, his diabetes education platform The Glucose Never Lies could be the answer. It was created after his young son Jude tested positive for diabetes antibodies, and when it comes to distilling complicated diabetes information and making it make sense, John is a master of the craft.In this episode we cover an incredible amount - from the professional, including his work with newly diagnosed families, the latest in diabetes research and his love of continuous glucose monitoring, to the deeply personal, including how years of undiagnosed ADHD led to severe depression and suicidal thoughts. After getting the right treatment in July 2025, John has found renewed purpose in taking The Glucose Never Lies to the next level.CONNECT WITH JOHNThe Glucose Never Lies Website The Glucose Never Lies Podcast on Spotify Diabetes Specialist Nurse Forum CGM comparison chart.DISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice.

In 72 hours, my life changed forever.In August 2023, nurses rushed me to Portsmouth Regional Hospital, where they discovered my dangerously high blood sugar levels, the classic precursor for a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. I stayed for the weekend, and left the hospital as a completely different person.Since then, diabetes has made my life extremely complicated:Waking up sweaty in the middle of the night by dangerously low blood sugar levels. Carrying sugary snacks on me everywhere I go. Visiting the pharmacy every other day to pick up yet another (expensive) piece of diabetes supplies.Nearly dying on multiple occasions.That's the reality for a Type 1 diabetic, a reality that's intimately understood by actress Elle Shaheen (yes, that Shaheen). And this November, Diabetes Awareness Month, it's about time to shed a light on life with this disease.Diagnosed at eight years old, Elle - daughter of N.H. politician Stefany Shaheen and granddaughter of U.S. senator Jeanne Shaheen - has lived with this disease the majority of her life. Even after 18 years of managing this disease, diabetes still haunts her every day.Elle is the subject of the 2016 New York Times bestseller, "Elle & Coach," Stefany Shaheen's book about Elle's diagnosis, the effect of diabetes on their family, and the medical alert dog - Coach - that brought some much-needed relief to the Shaheen's chaotic lives.From the West End of Portsmouth, we discuss our near-death experiences with diabetes, her work as an advocate, meeting President Obama, growing up with a medical dog by her side at all times, and whether researchers will find a cure in our lifetimes.Plus, Elle's time in the Portsmouth theater scene, her Broadway dreams, and life in Hollywood during the entertainment industry's existential crisis.To support finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, you can donate here to Breakthrough T1D, the organization responsible for leading the fight against this disease.CHAPTERS:What is Type 1 diabetes?

Do you live with type 1 diabetes and finding that menopause is different for you? Or do you just want to learn more about the differences of type 1 and type 2? Then this episode is for you. Today's guest, Melissa Slemp, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was only 14 years old back in 1982, when managing the condition looked very different. After decades of navigating blood sugar highs and lows, and then later entering perimenopause, Melissa began noticing massive shifts in how her hormones affected her insulin needs, energy, and mood. Now, she's on a mission to change the conversation for women like her who are trying to manage both diabetes and menopause. We cover: Melissa's type 1 diabetes diagnosis story and what management looked like in the early 80s The key differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes Why menopause can totally wreak havoc on blood sugar regulation How hormonal fluctuations impact insulin needs and energy levels…and diabetics can witness this with their own eyes, just looking at their data and insulin needs. We talked about the role of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in improving glucose control and how it's different for those with type 1 Melissa Slemp is a functional health coach, host of the podcast Type 1 in Midlife, and advocate for women with type 1 diabetes navigating the complexities of hormonal change. She helps women regain stability, energy, and confidence through a holistic approach that combines lifestyle, nutrition, and bioidentical hormone therapy.

Op 14 november, Wereld Diabetes Dag, opent bij het Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC) een onderzoekscentrum dat de zoektocht naar genezing van diabetes type 1 moet versnellen: het Cure One Lab. Het lab is een intitiatief van Stichting DON en LUMC. In Nederland leven ruim 100.000 mensen met deze auto-immuunziekte, waarbij het eigen afweersysteem de cellen vernietigt die insuline aanmaken. Zonder insuline kunnen patiënten hun bloedsuiker niet reguleren en zijn zij dagelijks afhankelijk van sensoren, pompen en injecties. Een genezende behandeling bestaat nog niet – maar komt die nu dichterbij? In deze aflevering spreekt presentator Nina van den Dungen met twee sleutelpersonen in die zoektocht: Prof. dr. Eelco de Koning, hoogleraar diabetologie aan het LUMC en hoofd van het nieuwe Cure One Lab. Rens Vandeberg, Chief Impact Officer bij het Diabetes Fonds, dat het onderzoek financieel ondersteunt. De Koning legt uit hoe onderzoekers met stamceltechnologie insulineproducerende cellen willen maken die niet worden afgestoten door het immuunsysteem – een stap die genezing voor veel meer mensen mogelijk kan maken. Door samen te werken met immunologen, celbiologen en internationale partners wil het Cure One Lab de wetenschap versnellen en kennis delen over de grenzen heen. Vandeberg benadrukt het belang van samenwerking tussen wetenschap, overheid en zorgverzekeraars om deze baanbrekende therapieën straks ook betaalbaar en beschikbaar te maken. “De top van de berg komt eindelijk in zicht,” zegt hij, “maar de kabelbaan moet nog worden gebouwd.” Redactie: Stijn GoossensSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What do you do when your health changes and the business you've built can't keep up?In this episode of Business with Chronic Illness, I sit down with Jemi Crookes, founder of The Think Lab, to talk about what happens when a diagnosis forces you to redefine leadership, business, and success itself.After a misdiagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, Jemi discovered she was actually living with Type 1.5 (LADA)—a rare form of autoimmune diabetes that upended everything she knew about her body, her energy, and the way she worked. She left her corporate executive role and rebuilt her business from the ground up, using AI, authentic leadership positioning, and personal branding to create more freedom and less burnout.In This Episode You'll Learn:✅ How Jemi turned a life-changing diagnosis into a business that supports her health✅ The difference between corporate leadership and capacity-honoring leadership✅ Why "your job title is rented, but your leadership is forever"✅ How to use AI as a tool (not a replacement) for your positioning and time✅ What it really takes to build a brand rooted in your values and lived experience✅ The mindset shifts that allow you to keep growing—even when your energy fluctuates✅ Why you can't position yourself (even if you're a strategist) and who can help✅ How advocating for your health teaches you to advocate in businessYou'll hear how Jemi learned to trust her intuition when doctors got it wrong, design business models that flex with her energy, and help other women leaders build brands that can thrive, no matter what life brings next.A gift from Jemi, our guest - Custom GPT tool: SO FUN!!!! https://chatgpt.com/g/g-67d37e2edbf48191b062e108c6bb1994-tf-leadership-intro-ida

Today, I'm reflecting on my 25th diaversary, 25 years since I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. In the past, I've shared this day with my parents on the podcast, but this year I felt called to sit down solo and really process what this milestone means. From the memories of my diagnosis at seven years old to the lessons I've learned along the way, I'm sharing how my relationship with diabetes has evolved over a quarter of a century. My hope is that no matter where you are in your journey, five seconds in or fifty years, you're reminded that it's never too late to shift lanes, grow, and create the life you want with diabetes.
