Dorothy Littell Greco, marriage ministry leader and author joins us for a powerful conversation about abandoning misogyny and misandry (disdain for all men or women) in favor of mutual flourishing in marriage, including sexual flourishing, especially since pornography use, perpetrating harm to women is rampant. Despite undeniable progress as we discover the mental loads women and men carry in the 20th and 21st centuries, misogyny and misandry are still alive in culture, often in ways more subtle and insidious than outright sexism of the past, and it shows up in marriages in ways couples don't always recognize. Statistically, misogyny especially hurts marriage intimately and sexually. In this conversation, we focus specifically on how it shows up in Christian marriages and what it costs both women and men since this is a lose-lose system where no one wins. A type 1 justice fighter with a long and successful marriage of faith and confession, Dorothy unpacks how dismantling misogyny isn't just good for women, it benefits men and marriages too, creating space for true partnership where both spouses can grow and flourish. Join us as we talk about why we need to abandon both misogyny (disdain for women) and misandry (disdain for men) in favor of a partnership that honors the image of God in both.

Kristin was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 1997, right before she turned four. Like many of us, her early years were defined by parental support, and then college became the turning point where she had to learn how to truly take ownership. From studying abroad in Mexico and navigating T1D with a host family who did not speak English, to advocating for herself during surgery in a hospital system that largely understood Type 2, Kristin's diabetes journey has been shaped by resilience and self trust.But even with nearly three decades of experience, Kristin still hit a wall. Her A1C was sitting at 7.1, time in range was around 63 to 65%, and she felt emotionally drained from the constant highs, lows, and pressure to “figure it out.” She was working out consistently, eating responsibly, watching her numbers closely, and still felt like the output did not match the effort.In this episode, Kristin shares what changed when she joined Risely's group coaching program, and how she went from chasing blood sugars reactively to learning her patterns, building confidence in decision making, and feeling lighter mentally and emotionally. We also talk about the ripple effect diabetes has on relationships, why community can matter even if you already have strong support at home, and a very real story of an insulin dosing mistake that underscores how important preparation and support systems can be.WHAT WE COVER:Managing diabetes independently for the first time during study abroad in MexicoAdvocating for Type 1 needs in a hospital setting during surgeryFeeling stuck at a 7.1 A1C and 63 to 65% time in range despite high effortHormones, protein, strength training, and why “doing the right things” still can spike blood sugarHow her metrics changed: average BG (159 to 134) & time in range (up to 80%)The impact diabetes narratives have on partners and relationshipsA 20 unit insulin dosing mistakeKEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ If you feel stuck, you are not broken. You are likely missing a system.2️⃣ Confidence comes from experimenting, not perfection.3️⃣ Better numbers can come with a lighter mental load.WHAT'S NEXT:
What if the reason your blood sugars aren't improving… isn't carbs, insulin, or bad luck?What if it's because you've been reacting instead of taking control?This might be uncomfortable to hear—but it matters.I used to make excuses too.Until I stopped.Now I've been 99% time in range for 6 months, dropped my A1C to 5.7, and barely deal with lows.Not by restricting my life—But by getting proactive instead of reactive.Most people are taught how to respond to blood sugars.Almost no one is taught how to prevent the chaos.If what you're doing right now isn't working…It's time to get curious, get uncomfortable, and try something different.You deserve a life that doesn't revolve around highs and lows.>> ENJOY!Join The Tribe: https://thewarriorstribe.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

Dr. Sunil Gupta emphasized that World Diabetes Day, celebrated on November 14, marks the birthday of Frederick Banting, who discovered insulin. Today, it is not limited to a single day but observed throughout November as a month of awareness activities. Among the elderly, diabetes often coexists with complications like high risk of hypoglycemia, associated neuropathy, and other health issues, making regular monitoring, proper medication, hydration, and adequate sleep is essential. Diabetic neuropathy, which causes tingling or numbness in the feet, results from nerve damage but can be reversible in the early stages through good sugar control, exercise and timely check-ups. While answering the query he advised that diabetes should not be hidden—informing friends or colleagues ensures timely help during a low-sugar episode. Insulin remains a lifeline for Type1 diabetes, and over time, many with Type 2 diabetes may also require it. Dr. Kavita Gupta highlighted that stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline can raise blood sugar levels. Thus, making meditation, positive thinking, and balanced routines is vital. During festivals, healthier options such as fruit baskets or nuts can replace sweets. She added that people with prediabetes should begin focusing on diet, weight, and exercise now to help prevent a future diabetes epidemic.

Pediatric endocrinologist Shara Bialo discusses her article, "Why type 1 diabetes screening should be part of back-to-school." She highlights that back-to-school visits are a critical window to screen for type 1 diabetes (T1D), a disease where sixty-two percent of new cases currently result in life-threatening hospitalizations. Shara shares her personal perspective as both a doctor and a mother with T1D, addressing the guilt and stigma that often stops parents from screening for autoantibodies. The discussion emphasizes that ninety percent of diagnoses happen with no family history, making universal awareness and early detection vital to preventing complications like diabetic ketoacidosis.

I wasn't exercising… but my blood sugar was dropping.Cold weather. Stress. Shivering. And a lesson I didn't expect to learn.Last weekend, I sang in a church choir for the first time — in front of 2,800 people — and my blood sugar behaved in a way that completely surprised me. I did everything “right,” yet my numbers kept falling.Instead of panicking, I stayed curious… and what I discovered changed how I think about stress, cold exposure, and blood sugar management forever.This isn't just about diabetes. It's about understanding your body instead of fighting it.

I know what you're thinking… surely there's more than 10 things?You'd be correct. But if I really thought about all the things I wish I'd known sooner about living with type 1 diabetes, I'd be here forever. Because trying to wade through the chaos that is managing this ridiculous chronic illness is a constant learning curve. Type 1 diabetes a never-ending game, a quest that is impossible to complete - and one that we're often left to figure out alone. Despite the best of intentions from loved ones, and even if you have access to amazing healthcare teams, 24/7/365, it's us.And we don't know what we don't know - until we're forced to confront it for the first time with critical urgency and a double down arrow…BUT! I have found that are certain things - tools, information, perspectives - that I've gathered in my almost thirty years of living with type 1 diabetes that have helped. A lot. And I'd quite like to go back and give them to my younger self - because she had a tough time of it for a while.So whether you're newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or you've been doing this for a while, hopefully there's something in here for you.DISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice.

Dana was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 6 and has now lived with it for over 24 years. As an ICU nurse working long, intense shifts, she found herself bouncing from the 50s to the 300s, feeling exhausted, ashamed, and frustrated that she couldn't “get it together” — especially as a medical professional. In this episode, she shares how she went from an A1C of nearly 11 to 6.4, what finally helped her break through the “stuck at 7” plateau, and the mindset work that let her feel in control of her diabetes for the first time. If you've ever felt alone, burnt out, or like your body is failing you, Dana's story will give you both hope and tools.What we cover:What it's really like to manage T1D while working 12-hour ICU shiftsThe shame of being a nurse with “uncontrolled” numbersHow Dana went from an A1C of ~11 down into the 6sWhy she stopped going to her endo for a season — and what changedUsing the A1C Shift Method + coaching to finally break past 7.0The power of pre-bolus, pattern-tracking, and reflection (not perfection)How sleep mode on her pump changed her overnights and energyMoving from diabetes controlling her life to her feeling in chargeKey takeaways:1️⃣ Mindset is the first tool. Before anything else shifted, Dana had to move from “I can't do this” to “I can figure this out with time and support.”2️⃣ You can't treat a complex condition with 15-minute visits alone. Endo appointments gave tiny tweaks. What really moved the needle was education, ongoing support, and accountability.3️⃣ Small wins add up to big change. From celebrating a 110 fasting BG to turning on sleep mode, Dana's transformation came from consistent small shifts, not one giant fix.What's next:
More control =
Ever watch your CGM climb and think, “I did EVERYTHING right… why is it still spiking?” Same. And what I learned shocked me. Your A1C doesn't tell the whole story — your blood vessels do. Let's break down what's really happening during a spike (no fear tactics, just truth) and how to protect your body long-term.>> ENJOY!Join The Tribe: https://thewarriorstribe.comPurchase your copy of "The Blood Sugar Freedom Formula" book TODAY!https://www.amazon.com/dp/1964811880?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDpFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

In this episode, I'm chatting with Ty, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was just 8 years old.Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the pancreas stops making insulin, so the body can't regulate blood sugar on its own and needs insulin from injections or a pump to survive.Ty takes us behind the scenes of what that has really looked like: from massive early insulin pumps, constant injections, organ transplants, and dialysis, to the medical tech that's helped him survive and thrive. We talk about sugar, carbs, food, mindset, and what it's actually like to live with a condition people can't see but that affects every single part of his day.To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group... apply here to join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!

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.

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.
Every month feels like Diabetes Awareness Month when you're living with type 1. For years, I was fighting blind—guessing, struggling, and trying to survive the highs and lows.

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.

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!

The Diabetes Sprots project says it's an organization built to inspire. What can we all learn about elite athletes with type 1 – the people running marathons and doing Iron Man competitions. And with the right support and education, how far can those athletes go? We're talking about the Olympics and more with DSP founder Casey Boren and volunteer Lauren Adams, both of whom live with type 1 (and both of whom had done a ten mile run before we started taping).
