Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In Episode 333, Coach Ken and Graham dive into a wide-ranging, honest conversation sparked by a viral question: Should Type 1 diabetes even be called diabetes?What started as a short social media clip turned into thousands of views, healthy debates, and emotional responses—highlighting the confusion, stigma, and misunderstanding that still surrounds diabetes today. Ken and Graham unpack why this topic struck such a nerve, how language shapes perception, and why clarity matters—not division.From there, the conversation expands into real-world diabetes challenges: insulin access and affordability, rationing fears, stress-driven insulin resistance, CGM infections, reusing supplies, and how everyday decisions—exercise, food quality, sleep, and stress—can dramatically change insulin needs.The episode closes with a thoughtful discussion on Dexcom's new 15-day CGM, environmental impact, patient assistance programs, and what progress actually looks like for people living with diabetes.This is raw, unscripted diabetes conversation—exactly what the live show is designed to be.

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:

What does it really look like to grow older with type 1 diabetes today?The good news is people with diabetes are now living longer than ever! In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman is joined by diabetes advocate Joanne Milo and endocrinologist Dr. Athena Tsimikas to talk about the realities of aging with type 1. They share how expectations have changed over time, why more people are now living long lives with diabetes, and what it takes to stay safe, independent, and supported through the aging process. The conversation covers changing insulin needs, screening for vision, hearing, and cognitive health, the role of technology, and the importance of community and care partners.They also discuss the emotional side of aging with diabetes, including the need to feel heard, understood, and safe while continuing to live a full and meaningful life.Key Topics• Living longer with type 1: how expectations have changed• Changing insulin sensitivity, muscle mass, and dosing over time• Preventing falls: vision, neuropathy, and mobility considerations• Cognitive health and why screening matters• Technology in older adults: CGM and hybrid closed-loop benefits• Medication considerations for heart and kidney protection• The role of care partners and support systems• Emotional health: fear, independence, and being understood• Staying active, social, and engaged while aging with diabetes• Advocacy and preparing for the future✨ Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram:   / tcoydFacebook:   / tcoydStay connected!

Editor's Summary by Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, PhD, MD, MAS, Editor in Chief, and Preeti Malani, MD, MSJ, Deputy Editor of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, for articles published from February 14-20, 2026.

In this episode, Abby Cooper (Risely's Director of Coaching and a parent of a child with type 1 diabetes) sits down with Jessie Bennett, a mom of two in California whose 13-year-old son, Samuel, was diagnosed with T1D two years ago. Jessie opens up about what the first year really felt like: survival mode, numbness, and the constant, invisible fear of low blood sugar that can hijack your body and your mind.Together, Abby and Jessie talk about why this episode is intentionally different, because the goal is not to wait until everything feels “fixed” before you get support. Jessie shares what shifted through coaching: building a simple “order of operations” toolkit, learning to slow down the spiral, and redefining progress as being able to live even when fear still shows up.WHAT WE COVER:What the first 6 to 12 months after a child's diagnosis can feel like, and why it's normalHow fear of low blood sugar shows up physically, emotionally, and in decision-makingThe “invisible” anxiety parents carry, even when they look calm on the outsideWhy coaching is not about erasing fear, but changing how you live alongside itA practical toolkit for making decisions: insulin on board, trend, and “I have what I need to handle this”Redefining progress when you're still in the middle, without rushing yourself to a finish lineKEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Fear is protective, but it comes with a cost. The goal is not to shame it away. It is to stop letting it run the whole day (or night).2️⃣ Real change comes from experience, not explanation. Tools, repetition, and safety-building moments are what rewire confidence.3️⃣ Progress you can't measure still matters. Letting your child go play at 110, trusting the plan, and staying regulated, those wins change your whole family.WHAT'S NEXT:

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In Episode 331 of The Healthy Diabetic Podcast, Coach Ken is joined by Graham Hubbard for Episode 003 of the live show, where they dive into how people with diabetes actually make decisions—and why some of the most common metrics may be missing the bigger picture.The conversation covers Time in Range vs A1C, redefining what a personal blood sugar “target” really means, and why stability and variability matter more than chasing perfect numbers. Ken also shares real-world insights on Afrezza, insurance challenges, CGM access, early screening for Type 1 diabetes, and the pros and cons of modern intervention strategies.This episode is raw, honest, and full of practical perspective—exactly what this new live format is designed to deliver.

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:

What exactly is inflammation, and how do you know if it's affecting your health? In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus sit down with Dr. Jennie Luna, an endocrinologist specializing in obesity medicine and nutrition, to demystify inflammation and its connection to diabetes and metabolic health.Together, they explore the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, why chronic inflammation often goes unnoticed despite affecting nearly every organ system, and how it drives conditions like insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and chronic kidney disease. Dr. Luna breaks down the warning signs—fatigue, brain fog, difficulty sleeping, and weight gain—and explains why these symptoms are so easy to miss.The conversation shifts to actionable strategies you can implement today. From anti-inflammatory eating patterns and time-restricted eating to managing stress and prioritizing sleep, this episode focuses on practical, realistic changes that don't require perfection or meal prep mastery.Key TopicsUnderstanding Inflammation: The difference between acute and chronic inflammation and why chronic inflammation silently impacts metabolic health.Signs You Might Be Inflamed: Recognizing vague symptoms like fatigue, mental fog, and disrupted sleep that often go undiagnosed.Inflammation and Diabetes: How insulin resistance, high blood sugar, and inflammation create a vicious cycle—and how to break it.Anti-Inflammatory Eating Made Simple: Practical food strategies including protein-first meals, time-window eating, and budget-friendly swaps.The Fast Food Reality: Honest talk about convenience eating and how to make better choices when time is tight.Beyond Diet: Why sleep quality, stress management, and even 10-minute post-meal walks have powerful anti-inflammatory effects.GLP-1s and Inflammation: Emerging research showing these medications may reduce inflammation independent of weight loss.The Bottom Line: Why small, sustainable changes—not perfection—are the key to reducing inflammation and improving overall health. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this solo episode, Lauren shares practical, experience-based guidance for people living with Type 1 Diabetes who use the Omnipod 5 and still feel like their numbers are unpredictable or frustrating. Drawing from her own life with T1D and years of coaching clients at Risely Health, Lauren breaks down common gaps she sees between simply being on a pump and truly optimizing it.Rather than focusing on perfection or medical rules, this episode highlights how mindset, awareness, and intentional use of pump settings can create more confidence and stability. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to work with their Omnipod 5, reduce common challenges like rebound highs, and use their pump as a supportive tool instead of a source of stress.WHAT WE COVER:How to find the right “sweet spot” for your max bolus settingWhat red line suspensions mean and how they contribute to rebound highsWhen and why manual mode can be helpful in certain situationsHow to use the custom food feature to break unhelpful bolusing habitsWhy stress should be treated as a real factor in blood sugar managementKEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Being on a pump is not the same as optimizing it. Confidence comes from understanding how your settings actually work for your body.2️⃣ Auto mode is a powerful tool, but knowing when to switch to manual mode can prevent frustration and improve outcomes.3️⃣ Stress, habits, and mindset play a major role in blood sugar patterns and deserve just as much attention as carbs and insulin.WHAT'S NEXT:

Imagine getting your kids screened for T1D and agreeing to do it yourself, just to set a good example, and then your test is the one that comes back with type 1! That's exactly what happened to Chris Dunn. She was positive for all of the autoantibodies and has since been treated with Tzield, the medication shown to delay the onset. We're talking to her about all of that, what the treatment is actually like, how she's doing since and what her family thinks of the whole thing. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

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 new advancements are actually coming in diabetes care in 2026 and what's in store in the near future? In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus both take a look at the diabetes treatments and technologies they believe are most likely to arrive in 2026.Together, they walk through emerging therapies for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, focusing on developments that are no longer theoretical but actively moving through late-stage trials and regulatory review. The conversation covers disease-modifying treatments, next-generation medications, and technology advances that could meaningfully change daily diabetes management.Key Topics: • Disease-Modifying Therapies for T1D: Preserving beta cell function after T1D diagnosis and why this represents a major shift in treatment goals.• New Medications for Type 2 Diabetes: Oral GLP-1s, dual- and triple-agonist therapies, and what they may offer beyond current options.• GLP-1s in Type 1 Diabetes: Where the research stands, off-label use today, and what future approvals could look like.• Once-Weekly Basal Insulin: Why it's promising for type 2 diabetes and who it's best suited for.• Inhaled Insulin Updates: New dosing guidance and expanded use cases.• Continuous Ketone Monitoring: How this technology could improve safety and open doors for additional therapies in T1D.• Cure-Oriented Research: Stem cell and gene therapy approaches that aim to restore insulin production.• The Big Picture in 2026: Why 2026 represents real momentum — and what it could mean for access, outcomes, and quality of life. ★ Support this podcast ★

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.

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. Sarah also dives into emerging research, from plant-forward approaches to ketogenic patterns, gut health, and medication advances that could influence nutrition strategies in the years ahead.Listeners will also learn where to find reliable resources, how to stay connected with the latest developments, and how to access Sarah's work and insights.Sarah Hormachea is a Diabetes Care and Education Specialist who believes nutrition therapy should honor both culture and science. Drawing on 10+ years in clinical and community settings, she helps make diabetes care more personal, inclusive, and effective.“Sometimes it takes these diagnoses for people to stop and reflect and recognize that health is wealth, right? And if you have, if you don't have your health - what do you have?”Question of the Day:How has nutrition played a role in how you (or a loved one) manages or navigates type 1 diabetes? On This Episode You Will Learn:How Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (DCES) support people with type 1 diabetes at every stage of care.The most important updates from recent medical nutrition therapy guidelines—and why they matter.What early nutrition support looks like immediately after diagnosis and during the first year.Common nutrition myths in type 1 diabetes and how to approach them with evidence and compassion.The research and trends poised to shape the future of type 1 diabetes nutrition care.Connect with Yumlish!Yumlish Website: YumlishYumlish on Instagram: @yumlish_Yumlish on Facebook: YumlishYumlish on Twitter: @yumlish_Yumlish on LinkedIn: YumlishConnect with Sarah Hormachea!Website URL: www.sarahhormachea.com Instagram URL: https://www.instagram.com/sarah.hormachea/ Facebook URL: https://www.facebook.com/sarahhormachea.diabetescare LinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahhormachea/ 

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:

When Shannon's 7-year-old daughter, Raelynn, went from gymnastics practice to the ICU in DKA within 48 hours, her family's world flipped overnight. In this episode, Shannon shares the real story behind their viral TikTok family: the trauma of diagnosis, the mental load of T1D parenting, the role of their diabetic alert dog Spy, and how she and her husband found a rhythm that gives their daughter both safety and independence. If you're a parent navigating Type 1 — or worried about your other kids' risk — this conversation will make you feel less alone and more equipped.What we cover:The day a “virus” turned into an ICU DKA diagnosisHow Shannon and her husband divide T1D responsibilitiesThe impact of T1D on siblings and family dynamicsWhat their diabetic alert dog Spy actually does day-to-dayHow their TikTok community started and what it means to themThe emotional weight of screening another child for T1DKey takeaways:1️⃣ You don't have to be fearless as a T1D parent — you just have to keep showing up.2️⃣ Kids with T1D often grow up faster, and that maturity can become a powerful advantage later in life.3️⃣ Community, tools, and support make the mental load of T1D lighter and your decisions clearer.What's next:

Continuous glucose monitoring didn't start as sleek apps and tiny sensors — it began with chunky receivers, short wear times, and a lot of skepticism. In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Pettus and Dr. Steve Edelman sit down with Dexcom CEO and original sensor engineer Jake Leach to trace the evolution of CGM from those early “Tylenol-shaped” receivers and repurposed pagers to today's G7 system and beyond.They walk through the major turning points: abandoning long-term implants for subcutaneous sensors, proving that real-time CGM meaningfully improves time in range and safety, and pushing back against old-school thinking that insisted patients shouldn't see their own data. From STS 3-Day to Seven Plus, G4, G5, G6, and now G7, Dr. Edelman, Dr. Pettus, and Jake Leach break down what each generation added — better accuracy, easier insertion, smartphone and cloud connectivity, and integration with pumps and AID systems.Most importantly, Dr. Edelman, Dr. Pettus, and Dexcom CEO Jake Leach, focus on what's coming next and what it means for people living with diabetes today: the 15 day Dexcom G7 sensor, Smart Basal insulin titration for people with type 2 diabetes, AI-powered food logging, and the upcoming G8 platform designed to measure multiple analytes (glucose plus ketones and more) — all while pushing toward broader access and affordability.Key TopicsEarly Dexcom Days & STS 3-Day: How Dexcom pivoted from implantable sensors to disposable subcutaneous CGMs and what the earliest systems were really like.Blinded vs Real-Time CGM: The ethics debate, safety implications, and studies proving real-time data improves time in range and reduces hypoglycemia.Seven Plus, G4 & G5: Major accuracy improvements, longer wear times, and the move to smartphone-based monitoring.G6 & Auto-Applicators: Eliminating mandatory calibrations and making sensor insertion faster and easier.G7 Wins & Growing Pains: Reduced size, faster warm-up, early reliability challenges, and how Dexcom addressed manufacturing and support issues.15-Day Wear & Smart Basal: Extended wear life and CGM-guided basal insulin titration for type 2 diabetes.G8 & Multi-Analyte Sensing: A preview of Dexcom's next-generation platform measuring glucose plus ketones and other markers.AI Food Logging & Smarter Care: Photo-based meal tracking and pairing nutrition data with glucose trends.Access & Affordability: Expanding CGM access globally and using data to reshape how diabetes care is delivered. ★ Support this 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.

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!

Type 1 diabetes doesn't always travel alone — in fact, it often brings other autoimmune conditions along for the ride. In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Pettus and Dr. Steve Edelman shine a light on the most common ones that tend to show up with T1D, why they happen in the first place, when you should be screened, and what subtle symptoms should raise a red flag.They walk through what's common but manageable,  like thyroid issues and celiac disease — as well as what's rare but critical not to miss, like Addison's disease (adrenal failure), which can be dangerous if left undiagnosed but incredibly treatable once caught early.Most importantly, Jeremy and Steve explain how simple blood tests can catch these conditions before they spiral, and how the right medication can completely change how you feel day-to-day.Key Topics:• T1D & Autoimmunity 101: Why having one autoimmune condition raises your risk for others• Thyroid Disorders: The most common — hyper vs. hypo, yearly screening, easy treatment• Celiac Disease: Why it's up to 10x more common in T1D and often missed without symptoms• Addison's Disease Awareness: The “silent” cortisol deficiency you don't want to miss• Proactive Care Mindset: How to build autoimmune screening into your diabetes warranty plan ★ Support this podcast ★
