Podcasts about type1

For decades, people living with Type 1 diabetes have asked the same question: what would life look like if my body made insulin again? In today's episode, Lauren sits down with Katie Beth Hand (13 years with T1D) and Chris (diagnosed at 10 months old, living 35 years with T1D), two of only ten participants selected for the first cohort of the Eledon clinical trial at the University of Chicago. As Patients 9 and 10, they received an islet cell transplant alongside the investigational therapy Tegoprubart, designed to prevent the immune system from attacking transplanted cells. Now, for the first time in decades, they're watching their blood sugars rise and come back down on their own, coming off basal insulin, dramatically reducing boluses, and navigating what it means to trust a body that suddenly responds differently. This is not hype or a guaranteed cure, but it may represent one of the most significant shifts in Type 1 diabetes research in over 30 years.WHAT WE COVER:What daily life looked like before the trialHow they found the Eledon trial and what screening week in Chicago involvedWhat actually happens during an islet cell transplantWhy Tegoprubart may change the future of islet transplantationMixed Meal Tolerance Tests, C-peptide, and what their data showsThe transition off basal insulin and how they are “protecting” the new isletsThe emotional side: “Do I still say I have Type 1?”Current Blocks to Scalability and what the Islet Act IsSupport Links:

If diabetes advice actually worked, you wouldn't be second guessing every meal, every dose, every CGM number.

  "Karma" is the latest ground-breaking creation from Type 1 Restoration — Dennis Troggio's 1955 Lowlight Karmann Ghia that just captured the coveted Al Slonaker Award at the Grand National Roadster Show, the highest honor for non-roadster vehicles at the most prestigious indoor custom car show in the world. This wasn't their first shot at Slonaker glory. We get into the second attempt — and how lessons learned from the legendary "Turmoil" split-window Beetle (a build that redefined what was possible in the VW and hot rod world) shaped the philosophy behind Karma. Turmoil raised the bar. Karma shattered it. The 1955 Lowlight Karmann Ghia is already one of the rarest early production Volkswagens ever built — the very first year of Ghia production. Owner Dennis Troggio was also hands on with this build. But this car goes far beyond restoration. Nearly everything on Karma has been re-engineered, re-imagined, or custom-machined from scratch. The list of untouched parts is shorter than the list of one-off components. From custom-machined brake rotors carved out of solid cast iron, to intricate mechanical detailing throughout, no surface was overlooked. The interior, crafted by the world-renowned Recovery Room, is a masterclass in craftsmanship and restraint. Power comes from a 300 horsepower, full-race engine built by Doug Gonzales of RevMaster — a monster Type 1 powerplant that proves air-cooled performance belongs on the biggest stage. Competing against multi-million-dollar customs and elite coach-built machines, Karma didn't just show up — it changed the conversation. This win is proof that when precision engineering meets vision, a Volkswagen can stand toe-to-toe with the best custom cars in the world. We also talk about the evolution of Type 1 Restoration, the misunderstood builds, the favorites, the setbacks, and the relentless drive to keep pushing the envelope. If history has shown us anything, it's this: the next build coming from their shop will redefine expectations all over again. This episode is about craftsmanship, competition, redemption — and changing the game for Volkswagens on the biggest stage in custom car culture.

In today's episode Eoin speaks with Jonty Brown ( @jontyruns ).Jonty was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 12, and admittedly spent years trying to keep it hidden, while quietly struggling with control and the mental load that comes with it.Over time, through better technology, community, and movement, things started to shift.Jonty has since completed Ironmen, multiple 100-kilometre runs, a 500-kilometre run from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and a four-day ultramarathon through the desert. He's now an ultrarunner, running coach, and owner of two running stores in London ( @runlimited.ldn ).This conversation is about living honestly with Type 1 Diabetes, reducing the mental burden, and what becomes possible when the condition stops being something you hide.As always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.

Dating with Type 1 Diabetes can stir up questions about worth, vulnerability, and whether you are asking for too much or are too much. In this solo episode, Lauren shows up as your T1D older sister, sharing real-life insight, personal stories from her own relationship, and the conversations most people avoid when it comes to dating with diabetes.You will hear why Type 1 Diabetes does not actually make dating harder. It simply reveals compatibility faster. Lauren explains how your relationship with yourself and your diabetes shapes what you tolerate, attract, and believe you deserve. This episode breaks down the red flags to pay attention to, the green flags that truly matter, and how releasing shame can completely change your dating experience.WHAT WE COVER:Why Type 1 Diabetes acts as a stress test for emotional maturityRed flags in dating that often show up early when you live with T1DHow shame around diabetes quietly impacts relationshipsThe difference between concern, control, and true partnershipGreen flags that signal emotional safety and long-term compatibilityWhy your relationship with diabetes sets the tone for how others show upKEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Type 1 Diabetes does not make you “too much.” It filters out the wrong people faster. It brings clarity to compatibility and emotional readiness early on.2️⃣ The way someone responds to your diabetes often reflects how you relate to it. Confidence and self-trust naturally attract healthier dynamics.3️⃣ Healthy relationships are built on communication, respect, and safety, not perfection. You do not need a caretaker. You deserve a partner who can meet you with empathy and maturity.WHAT'S NEXT:

Rachel Smith is an OB-GYN, lifelong mountain-lover, and person with type 1 diabetes who set out to summit Mount Vinson, Antarctica's tallest peak, in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. After climbs like Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua, she realized the biggest curiosity was not just the summit itself, but the diabetes strategy behind it: insulin safety, altitude, tech failures, and what it takes to navigate unpredictable blood sugars when you are far from help.In this episode, Rachel takes us into a 13-day Antarctica expedition (8 days on the mountain), where the sun never sets, the cold hits -50°C, and even treating a low can become complicated. You will hear what surprised her most, what she would do differently next time, and the message she wants every person with diabetes to carry with them: progress over perfection, and your goals do not have to shrink because you have T1D.WHAT WE COVER:Why Rachel chose Mount Vinson and why she decided to share the diabetes side publicly this timeThe realities of climbing in Antarctica: 24-hour daylight, extreme cold, and carrying everything yourselfManaging T1D on Kilimanjaro (manual testing) vs. Aconcagua and Vinson (pump + CGM)What happens when diabetes tech fails at altitude and in the cold (pump alarms, sensors cutting out)How Rachel kept insulin from freezing and built in backups (including guide support)Fueling strategy on long climb days: lower-carb mornings, steady carbs during breaks, and why it matteredSafety conversations with guides: how hypoglycemia symptoms can mimic altitude sicknessKEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Your plan needs redundancy. Remote climbs demand extra supplies, backup delivery methods, and contingency plans for freezing, loss, and tech failure.2️⃣ The environment changes everything. Altitude, cold, disrupted routine, stress hormones, and long-duration exertion can make blood sugars feel unlike your norm. That is not failure, it is data.3️⃣ Zoom out to rebuild trust. Rachel's CGM graphs looked more stable in hindsight than they felt in the moment, which is a reminder not to let one chaotic window define your confidence.WHAT'S NEXT:

 They told her diabetes can't be controlled. She almost believed them.After donating a kidney to her husband, Jean was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, sent home with insulin… and very little hope. Fear, restriction, guilt, and burnout followed.Until one mindset shift changed everything •  Diabetes isn't a life sentence.•  Blood sugar isn't pass/fail — it's data.•  Freedom is possible.This conversation is raw, honest, and full of hope — especially if you're newly diagnosed or tired of just “getting by.”>> 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!!

Diabetes type 1: waarom een koolhydraatarme leefstijl Willemijn eindelijk weer rust en vertrouwen in haar lichaam gaf.Leven met diabetes type 1 vraagt ontzettend veel: lichamelijk, mentaal en emotioneel. In deze aflevering ga ik in gesprek met Willemijn Wieland, diëtist bij The Nourishing State, over haar persoonlijke verhaal.Willemijn werd op haar twaalfde gediagnosticeerd met diabetes type 1, midden in de puberteit. Jarenlang worstelde ze met bloedsuikerregulatie, controle, lichaamsbeeld en eetgedrag. Diabetes, onzekerheid en de druk om “het goed te doen” kwamen samen en leidden uiteindelijk tot een eetstoornis die lange tijd onder de radar bleef, ook binnen de zorg.Pas elf jaar later kwam ze in aanraking met een koolhydraatarme, animal based leefstijl. Dat bleek een kantelpunt. Niet alleen voor haar bloedsuikers, maar ook voor haar relatie met eten, haar mentale rust en het vertrouwen in haar lichaam.In deze aflevering bespreken we onder andere:Wat de diagnose diabetes type 1 tijdens de puberteit met haar deedHoe diabetes, controle en lichaamsbeeld samenkwamen en leidden tot diaboulimiaWaarom de mentale belasting van diabetes vaak wordt onderschatWat er veranderde toen ze koolhydraatarm ging eten: lichamelijk, mentaal en in haar diabetesmanagementHoe zij nu terugkijkt op de reguliere zorg en adviezenHoe haar persoonlijke ervaring haar werk als diëtist heeft gevormd-------De keto granola van Oot ook proberen?

If you've ever done the same thing two days in a row and gotten completely different blood sugar results, this is for you. That “randomness” isn't failure—it's missing context.I break down why blood sugar feels unpredictable and how understanding timelines can reduce burnout and anxiety with diabetes.>> 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!!

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!!

One of the sure-thing top stories of 2026 will be GLP1s, but will we see more studies and even approval for treating type 1 with these medications? We're talking about Ozempic, Mounjaro and the next versions like Retatrutide - that are just around the corner. I'm talking to  Dr. Cecelia Lo Wong, a diabetologist at the University of Colorado whose been on the front lines of this conversation for years,  including serving on FDA advisory committees. This is a wide ranging interview - we also talk about the growing needs of older adults with type 1 diabetes, how kidney and cardiovascular risk guidelines are evolving, and why managing diabetes in the hospital can still be such a challenge.

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. It's about freedom, not perfection. >> 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!!

Why did the FDA deny sotagliflozin —even with strong data showing heart, kidney, and glucose benefits? In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman sits down with special guest Stacey Simms to break down the full story behind SGLT inhibitors and their complicated path in type 1 diabetes.Together, they walk through how SGLT inhibitors transformed type 2 diabetes care, why many clinicians believe people with type 1 should have access, and how the risk of DKA shaped the FDA's decision. Dr. Edelman also shares insights on who might benefit, how to reduce risk, and why continuous ketone monitoring could be a game-changer for future approvals.They also touch on the growing discussion around GLP-1 medications in type 1 diabetes, new study results, and what emerging evidence could mean for future treatment options.In this episode: • Sotagliflozin & SGLT Inhibitors in T1D: Why these medications matter and what the latest data shows.• The FDA Denial: Understanding the DKA concerns and why approval remains challenging.• Real-World Experience: How clinicians are using SGLT inhibitors safely today in select patients.• Continuous Ketone Monitoring: Why dual-analyte sensors could unlock safer use in T1D.• GLP-1s in Type 1 Diabetes: What recent research reveals about potential benefits.• Who Might Benefit Most: Kidney protection, heart health, and metabolic improvements.• Looking Ahead: How ongoing studies and patient advocacy could shape future guidelinesLearn more about Diabetes Connections with Stacey Simms: https://diabetes-connections.comVisit TCOYD's Website for more diabetes edutainment for people living with diabetes: tcoyd.org**Tune in for two new episodes each month!

In this episode, we sit down with Sarah Hormachea, MS, RD, CDCES, BC-ADM, a Diabetes Care and Education Specialist whose work spans national guideline committees, tribal community health, and clinical practice. Sarah breaks down how medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for type 1 diabetes has transformed—moving away from rigid, prescriptive diet rules and toward individualized, culturally inclusive care.She shares what's changed in the latest nutrition guidelines, how technology and real-time glucose insights are reshaping patient conversations, and what the first year after diagnosis really looks like for many people.

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.

We've got a research update on two of the topics you've told me you want to hear more about. First, research into Preventing type 1 – with a therapy that hasn't been in the headlines.. and second, inhaled insulin for kids. 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. ​​

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!

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).
