We get into the emotional side of raising a child with type 1 diabetes: the pressure to be perfect, the guilt that social media can create, and the way so many parents slowly lose themselves after diagnosis without even realizing it. We do "check-ins" at our mom's night Out events where you can ask any question of a diabetes expert. I thought it would be helpful to bring those questions and answers to you here. My guest is Abby Cooper, mom of a child with T1D and Risely Health diabetes coach.. who was one of our check in experts this year. We talk about independence, middle school, camp, and what happens when your entire identity starts revolving around your child's diagnosis. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

What can 21 days of continuous glucose and ketone data, recorded during a 1,000-mile cycling journey, reveal about managing type 1 diabetes on a ketogenic diet?Dr. Ian Lake is a UK-based primary care physician who has lived with type 1 diabetes for more than 30 years. After two decades of conventional high-carbohydrate management, he adopted a very low-carbohydrate, ketogenic approach and began examining insulin not simply as a glucose-lowering medication, but as a metabolic hormone whose requirements are influenced by nutrition, exercise, sleep, circadian rhythm, hydration, and stress. His new book, Shifting Gears, documents the ride and the lessons he took from it.Dr. Lake treated the journey as a 21-day personal experiment, wearing continuous glucose and ketone monitors while consuming roughly 20 grams of carbohydrate per day. In this conversation with Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, he shares what his data showed: an average ketone level near 1.2 mmol/L, daily insulin requirements declining from the mid-20s of units to around 16, and an episode in which glucose and ketones rose together after he had taken too little insulin.Dr. Lake describes how, in his case, one unit of insulin brought his ketones from approximately 3.0 to 0.9 mmol/L within about 20 minutes. He and Dr. D'Agostino use the experience to explore the distinction between nutritional ketosis and diabetic ketoacidosis, the essential role of adequate insulin, and why ketone readings must always be interpreted alongside glucose levels and clinical context.They also discuss insulin sensitivity during prolonged exercise, the practical challenges of adjusting insulin during endurance activity, and research suggesting that fat-adapted athletes may sustain high rates of fat oxidation at relatively high exercise intensities.Questions Answered in This EpisodeWhat did 21 days of continuous glucose and ketone monitoring reveal during a ketogenic, 1,000-mile cycling journey?How did prolonged endurance exercise affect Dr. Lake's daily insulin requirements?How is nutritional ketosis different from diabetic ketoacidosis, and what role does insufficient insulin play in DKA risk?What did Dr. Lake observe when his glucose and ketones began rising at the same time?How might fat adaptation influence fuel use and endurance performance?What are the practical limitations of continuous glucose and ketone monitoring for real-time insulin decisions?This conversation offers a rare look at 21 consecutive days of glucose, ketone, insulin, nutrition, and exercise data, while also emphasizing that Dr. Lake's experience is an individual case, not a substitute for personalized medical supervision.More Links:Shifting Gears, Dr. Lake's book, on AmazonType1Keto, Dr. Lake's site featuring the book and the Zero Five 100 projectSpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Zocdoc: Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor here.✅ fatty15: Get an additional 50% off a 90-day subscription starter kit with code METABOLICLINK.✅ Toups and Co: Get 25% off your first order with code METABOLIC.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

In this episode, Professor Clare Collins interviews Rebecca Flavel, a pediatric dietitian and credentialled diabetes educator, about what matters most for good blood sugar control? protein, fat or carbohydrate? They discuss advances in diabetes care related to modern insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) that provide real-time data to help improve blood sugar control, including time-in-range. They cover practical tips for families helping their children and adolescent with managing type 1 diabetes, including education on how fat and protein also affect blood glucose. Regular engagement with healthcare teams specialising in diabetes management helps empower people living with type 1 diabetes, and their families, to adapt to varying food and insulin needs over time.Key topicsAdvancements in insulin technology and devicesThe role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)Impact of diet, fat, and protein on blood sugar levelsChallenges and solutions in managing pediatric diabetesImportance of regular reviews and personalized care plansKeywords: #diabetesmanagement, #insulintechnology, #continuousglucosemonitoring, #pediatricdiabetes, #bloodsugarcontrol, #diabeteseducation, #insulinpumps, #diabetestechnology, #type1diabetes, #diabetescareDiabetes Australia - https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/Children's Hospital Perth - https://www.cha.health.wa.gov.au/To access the Healthy Eating Quiz: Click on the top right hand 'green button' called 'How healthy is my diet' https://nomoneynotime.com.au/Want a more Personalised Food, Nutrient Assessment Report?

Richie Brave discusses UK drill with music commentator Sillah, as well as type 1 diabetes with content creator Lydia Brian. @1Xtra on socialProduced by Unedited for BBC Radio 1Xtra.

In today's episode, the conversation leads into something Ken feels deeply — the frustration of hearing people claim that Type 1 diabetes can be cured. As an autoimmune condition, Type 1 operates differently than Type 2, and the constant lumping together of both conditions by researchers, politicians, and the media creates real harm for people navigating the daily reality of living insulin dependent. Ken makes the case for why the principles of good health apply to everyone — but the mechanisms, and especially the medication piece, are not the same.Then the episode shifts into one of the most practical conversations Ken and Graham have had — the real tradeoffs between wearing a CGM and going without one. Graham has chosen to step away from CGM and rely on finger sticks and MDI, and Ken respects that. But he also gets honest about what that choice means when it comes to getting meaningful support from your endocrinologist. Without continuous data, your doctor is working with a handful of snapshots. With it, they can see the full picture — and that changes everything about the quality of care you can receive.

Melissa Slemp has lived with type 1 diabetes for 44 years — since she was diagnosed in 1982, before glucometers, before CGMs, back when insulin came from vials and syringes and "boiling your needles" was still a recent memory for a lot of people. In this episode, we trace that whole arc: what early management actually looked like, the high-risk pregnancy she navigated in the 90s, and the moment — after more than four decades on injections — she finally switched to a pump. If you've ever wondered what it's like to hand over that much control after that much time, this is the conversation. But the real heart of this episode is what happens to blood sugar when a woman with type 1 diabetes hits perimenopause. Melissa walks through her own experience of watching her basal insulin needs climb for no obvious reason, the years she spent without an explanation, and what she eventually learned about estrogen, progesterone, and insulin resistance — knowledge she says she had to dig up herself, because most endocrinologists and OBGYNs simply aren't trained in the overlap. That research became the reason she wrote Highs, Lows, and Hormones, a survival guide for women navigating diabetes from their monthly cycle through menopause. Along the way, we get into hormone replacement therapy, why so many women blame themselves before they ever think to blame their hormones, and the bigger pattern underneath it all: how much of diabetes research and care has historically centered men, and what it costs women when it does. There's also a genuinely great story about how Melissa met her husband, who also lives with type 1 — on the side of the road, of all places. This one's for anyone managing type 1 diabetes as a woman, anyone who loves someone who is, or anyone who's ever felt like their body changed the rules without telling them why.

Every person with Type 1 diabetes has a date that changed their life forever. Ken and Graham get into whether we should celebrate it, fear it, or somewhere in between — and what your answer says about your relationship with this condition.It started with a simple question — do you know your diaversary?For Ken it's sometime in late June. For Graham it's around February 15th, the same month his family company was founded and named after him. But beyond the dates themselves, the question opened up one of the most honest conversations Ken and Graham have had about what it actually means to live with Type 1 diabetes for decades.Should we celebrate our diaversaries? Is it healthy to mark the day your life changed forever — or does it keep us tethered to a moment that's better left behind? Ken and Graham explore both sides of that coin and land somewhere that will resonate with anyone who has spent years navigating the emotional complexity of this condition.From there the conversation moves into one of the biggest questions in the Type 1 community — will there ever be a cure? Ken shares his honest perspective on what focusing on a cure does to your mental state, why he chooses to live in the present rather than wait for a finish line that may or may not come, and why that mindset shift is one of the most powerful things a person with diabetes can make.This one is equal parts honest, emotional, and grounding. It's exactly what the diabetes community needs to hear.

There is a fundamental link between diabetes and kidney care. But while there are many medications available to improve CKD outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes, the same options are not available for people with type 1.

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Steve Edelman is joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Anna Cymbaluk, along with Philip and his father Jim, to discuss the recent FDA approval of Afrezza inhaled insulin for children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes. Dr. Cymbaluk served as an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, while Philip participated in the study himself, providing a unique real-world perspective on what it is like to transition from injections to inhaled insulin, and Philip's dad, Jim provided the parent perspective as well as addressed parental concerns that might have arisen.The conversation focuses on the INHALE-1 study and the unmet challenges that continue to exist around mealtime insulin dosing in pediatric diabetes care. Dr. Cymbaluk reviews the trial design, glucose outcomes, safety data, patient satisfaction findings, and the practical realities of introducing inhaled insulin into everyday diabetes management. Philip and Jim share how Afrezza impacted school, sports, social situations, and the day-to-day burden of diabetes, particularly around pre-bolusing, corrections, and avoiding multiple injections throughout the day.Dr. Edelman and Dr. Cymbaluk also explore how Afrezza is dosed, how inhaled insulin differs from injected insulin, who may be a good candidate, and where it may fit alongside pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. For families looking for more flexibility, fewer mealtime barriers, and another option in the diabetes toolbox, this episode provides an honest look at the benefits, limitations, and real-world experience of inhaled insulin in children and teens.Key Topics• The FDA approval of Afrezza for children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes• The design and results of the INHALE-1 pediatric clinical trial• Patient satisfaction and quality-of-life outcomes from the study• The challenges of pre-bolusing and mealtime insulin management in children and teens• How inhaled insulin compares to traditional mealtime injections• Dosing strategies, cartridge sizes, and insulin conversion considerations• Using Afrezza for corrections, meals, and post-meal dosing• The role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) when using inhaled insulin• Safety findings, lung-function monitoring, and cough management• Who may be a good candidate for Afrezza—and who may not be• Benefits for active children, athletes, and those participating in sports• Social situations, injection avoidance, and reducing the burden of diabetes management• Using Afrezza alongside insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems• The importance of having more treatment options to individualize diabetes careSupported by an unrestricted educational grant from MannKind CorporationSubscribe 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!

Welcome back to Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, & Real-World Perspectives!To begin the episode, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, discuss recent advances in type 1 diabetes (T1D) research following presentations at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) Annual Meeting. They focus on promising data from an islet cell transplantation study in which all 12 participants achieved insulin independence, with some maintaining normal glycemia for up to 2 years after transplantation.Isaacs explains that the transplanted islet cells restore endogenous insulin production and emphasizes that the study's most notable innovation is its immunosuppression strategy. Rather than relying on calcineurin inhibitors such as tacrolimus, which are associated with significant toxicities, particularly nephrotoxicity, the investigators used the investigational anti-CD40 ligand therapy tegoprubart. The hosts discuss how this approach may improve the long-term safety and feasibility of islet transplantation and note ongoing efforts to develop more convenient formulations beyond the current intravenous infusion administered every 3 weeks.The conversation then turns to the clinical significance of the findings. Bellini highlights that all 12 enrolled participants achieved insulin independence, distinguishing these results from earlier transplantation efforts such as the Edmonton protocol. The hosts also describe the substantial improvements in quality of life reported by participants, including sustained HbA1c values in the normal range without restrictive dietary practices and complete resolution of severe hypoglycemia. Because the trial enrolled individuals with recurrent, life-threatening hypoglycemia, they emphasize that the observed benefits are particularly meaningful for this high-risk population.The hosts also examine several unanswered questions that remain before this approach can become widely available. They discuss the durability of insulin independence, the long-term need for immunosuppressive therapy, treatment costs, and the challenges associated with scaling islet transplantation beyond specialized research centers. Additional findings are reviewed, including the need for repeat transplantation in 2 participants and observations suggesting that individuals with higher body mass index may require greater islet mass to achieve insulin independence. They also discuss the use of tirzepatide in 2 participants, raising questions about the role of insulin resistance and adjunctive therapies following transplantation.Broadening the discussion, Isaacs and Bellini review several emerging strategies aimed at expanding access to curative therapies. These include stem cell-derived islets, large-scale beta cell manufacturing, gene-editing approaches, and encapsulation technologies intended to protect transplanted cells while reducing or eliminating the need for chronic immunosuppression. Drawing on presentations from Aaron Kowalski, PhD, and Laura Jacobsen, MD, they emphasize that despite major advances in continuous glucose monitoring, automated insulin delivery systems, and adjunctive pharmacotherapy, subcutaneous insulin administration remains fundamentally nonphysiologic and cannot fully eliminate long-term complications or disease burden.The episode concludes with a broader discussion of the future of type 1 diabetes research. The hosts highlight efforts to expand eligibility for islet transplantation trials, including studies involving individuals with chronic kidney disease who were previously excluded because of concerns surrounding traditional immunosuppressive therapies. They also underscore the importance of continuing to pursue disease-modifying therapies despite improvements in diabetes technology, emphasizing that glycemic targets alone do not eliminate complications or address disparities in access to care. While acknowledging that a universally applicable cure remains years away, Isaacs and Bellini conclude that the field is making meaningful progress toward safe, durable, and scalable therapies capable of fundamentally changing the treatment of type 1 diabetes.Editors' Note: Isaacs reports disclosures with Dexcom, Abbott, Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Medtronic, Insulet, and others. Bellini reports disclosures with Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Povention Bio, and others.

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus are joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jamie Wood, medical director of pediatric diabetes at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, to talk through inhaled insulin in kids and where it fits in real-world pediatric care.The conversation focuses on the recent approval of Afrezza for children as young as six, and what the INHALE-1 trial actually showed. Dr. Wood walks through the study design, A1C results, lung-function and safety data, and the practical aspects of dosing inhaled insulin in a pediatric population. Rather than positioning it as a replacement for injections or pumps, the discussion centers on finding the right fit for each child's needs, from the newly diagnosed kid with a needle phobia to the teen trying to dose discreetly during a 20-minute school lunch.Dr. E, Dr. P, and Dr. Wood also discuss the everyday realities that shape how this option is used, including the set-dose cartridge sizes, a titration approach refined in clinic, and how families are mixing and matching tools alongside automated insulin delivery. The takeaway is encouraging: there are more options than ever for managing mealtime insulin in kids, and this one may help fill some of the gaps left by injections and pumps.Key Topics • The recent approval of inhaled insulin for children as young as six • How the INHALE-1 pediatric trial was designed • A1C results and what the primary endpoint analysis showed • Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) metrics across the two groups • Lung-function (FEV1) monitoring and pediatric safety • Weight and body mass index (BMI) findings • Why mealtime dosing is a leading unmet need in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) • The set-dose cartridge approach and how it reframes meal sizes • A real-world titration method for inhaled insulin • Managing cough and other practical considerations • Needle phobia and the kids who struggle most with injections • Using inhaled insulin alongside automated insulin delivery (AID) systems • What's coming next, including a smaller cartridge dose and a new-onset trial 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!

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this episode, Coach Ken sits down with Kelly Schmidt, diabetic dietitian and longtime Type 1 diabetes advocate, to have a deep conversation about one of the biggest topics in diabetes right now:With medications like Ozempic and other GLP-1-based therapies becoming more common, there are a lot of questions:1. Are these just weight-loss medications?2. Can people with Type 1 diabetes benefit from them?3. How do you use them safely?4. What happens with food, muscle, digestion, and long-term health?Kelly shares her personal experience using GLP-1 medications since 2017 and explains why these medications are about much more than weight loss. The conversation explores how GLP-1s impact appetite, digestion, hormones, inflammation, and blood sugar management.Ken and Kelly also discuss the difference between single agonists and dual agonists, why the “strongest” medication is not always the best medication, and why having conversations with your healthcare team is critical when deciding what works for your individual needs. The episode also dives into some of the biggest concerns people with Type 1 diabetes have:Can GLP-1 medications worsen gastroparesis?Do they cause bone loss?How do you protect muscle while using these medications?What role do protein and strength training play?Kelly shares practical guardrails around using these medications, including the importance of adequate nutrition, resistance training, and building systems that support your health—not just chasing a number on the scale.This episode is an honest conversation about a rapidly evolving area of diabetes care and how people with Type 1 diabetes can ask better questions, understand their options, and make informed decisions with their healthcare team.

Alexis is a Type 1 diabetic mom of three boys from Nevada. Her first birth was a 37-week induction due to her diabetes that ended in a vaginal delivery. For her second birth, Alexis was told she needed a cesarean because her baby was expected to be "massive," but after birth, he was perfectly average-sized. In the OR, her providers admitted their prediction was wrong, and Alexis was devastated. Alexis was determined more than ever to educate herself and advocate hard for her next birth.During her third pregnancy, Alexis navigated polyhydramnios, multiple provider changes, and concerns about possible fetal heart abnormalities that ultimately turned out to be no issue after birth. But even with these challenges, still advocated and achieved her unmedicated VBAC. Her labor ended with a shoulder dystocia with her baby having a broken arm, but with a smooth recovery. Alexis shares how TVL, research, informed decision-making, educating her support team, and using the B.R.A.I.N. acronym helped her throughout her pregnancy and birth journey.Note from Alexis: “There was never a real explanation as to why they suspected he had ARSA, the increased velocity, or the small hole in utero. And as a tip for anyone in labor, honey is considered a clear liquid, and the cheap honey bears at Walmart are great during labor! I took swigs off of it during labor for energy and to keep my blood sugar up. The midwife came to check on me at one point mid-swig and said that was the first time she had seen that in her 25 years. I couldn't find honey sticks locally for a reasonable price, but I could find local honey bears.”Keywords: VBAC, Type 1 diabetes, juvenile diabetes, induction, 37-week induction, scheduled cesarean, suspected macrosomia, big baby, polyhydramnios, unmedicated VBAC, shoulder dystocia, broken humerus, birth injury, fetal heart concerns, ARSA, informed consent, B.R.A.I.N., VBAC prepNatural Birth for Type 1 Diabetics Facebook GroupT1D Pregnancy Course Needed Website: Code TVL for 20% OffThe Ultimate VBAC Prep Course for ParentsOnline VBAC Doula TrainingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Tyler Cook is a professional GT3 racing driver who has competed in some of the most grueling endurance races on the planet, the 24 Hours of Spa, the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, IMSA, and GT World Challenge Europe. He's also been living with type 1 diabetes since he was 11 years old. This episode gets into what it actually looks like to manage blood sugar in a fire suit, in a 130-degree cockpit, at 150 miles per hour, sometimes at 3 a.m. Tyler takes us back to his diagnosis in 2006 — an ICU stay, four IVs, and a very specific grief over the chocolate mousse at Epcot's France pavilion. From there, he walks us through the journey from go-karts in his dad's garage to GT3 race cars with 650 horsepower. Along the way, there was bullying in middle school over his diet, sneaking to the bathroom to give injections on dates, and a decision somewhere along the line to stop hiding his diabetes and start owning it. We get into the technical side, too: how OmniPod changed his race management strategy, why adrenaline sends his blood sugar climbing instead of crashing, what a 24-hour-race insulin plan actually looks like, and what it means to have a Gatorade button wired into your cockpit as an emergency low-blood-sugar protocol. Tyler also talks about the physical training side of racing — heart rate zone work, neck day (yes, neck day), and why a GT3 driver can be pressing 1,200 pounds of brake force per pedal. The episode wraps with something that's been sitting with both Rob and Tyler: the idea of trusting the process. For Tyler, the lesson comes through racing — you can't skip steps from spec Miata to GT3. For people with T1D, it's the same. Wherever you are in your management journey, that's where you are — and it's going to get better if you just keep going.

Send us Fan MailThe liver is the only organ in the body that can release stored glucose to prevent low blood sugar. So why has injected insulin never been able to reach it?In this clip from our episode “Finding a Solution for GLP-1 Side Effects”, host David E. Williams and Bob Geho, Founder and CEO of Diasome, break down the biological gap at the heart of diabetes treatment and how a father's decades of research into liver-targeted insulin delivery became the founding idea behind Diasome.

Send us Fan MailEvery year, one in five adults with Type 1 diabetes experiences a dangerous drop in blood sugar that renders them unable to treat themselves. These severe hypoglycemic events are still happening, even though many patients now use continuous glucose monitors and automated insulin pumps.Why has this trade-off between long-term A1C control and dangerous sugar crashes persisted for over 30 years?Bob Geho, Founder and CEO of Diasome, joins host David E. Williams to unpack the results of the company's 200+ patient Phase 2B OPTI-2 trial of HDV™ insulin. The study was presented recently at the American Diabetes Association meeting in New Orleans.In the trial, five patients using standard insulin experienced severe hypoglycemic events. This compares with zero such events among patients receiving HDV™ insulin. Meanwhile, HDV™ insulin matched standard-of-care A1C control.Bob also shares how the HDV platform is being studied for its potential to reduce side effects in GLP-1 therapy and to address insulin resistance, considered the root cause of Type 2 Diabetes.

In this episode, Meg Bomley shares her T1D journey from being diagnosed at 18 years old and spending eight years on MDI without a CGM, to becoming someone who feels deeply empowered in her body and her diabetes.Meg first came on the podcast in 2022 after graduating from Risely coaching. At the time, she had just come out of a season of constant lows, burnout, and feeling completely overwhelmed after switching to a pump without the support she needed.Today, she's back as a nationally board certified health coach, and 35 weeks pregnant with type 1 diabetes, one of Risely's top coaches.The majority of this conversation is the reality of navigating pregnancy with T1D: the nausea, insulin resistance, fear of highs, changing carb ratios, and learning to trust yourself in this season.WHAT WE COVER:Why Meg resisted pumps and CGMs for nearly 8 years after diagnosisThe “biggest disaster ever” that happened when she first switched to a pumpWhat finally helped her stop feeling resistant, overwhelmed, and burnt out with diabetesHow coaching helped her uncover mindset blocks that had nothing to do with insulin or carb countingThe first sign Meg noticed that told her her insulin resistance was changing after getting pregnantHow she managed nausea, vomiting, insulin on board, and eating mostly carbs during pregnancyThe difference between taking 5 units for oatmeal pre-pregnancy vs. 16 units during pregnancyWhat it's actually like mentally to watch yourself take “large amounts of insulin” every dayWHAT'S NEXT:

What diabetes technology is actually helping people right now—and how do you figure out what fits best into your life?In this 100th episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. E and Dr. P are joined by diabetes nurse practitioner and educator Rachael Sood, founder of The Diabetes Collective, to talk through the latest updates in diabetes technology and what they're seeing in real-world diabetes care.The conversation focuses on how much diabetes technology has changed over the past few years, from hybrid closed loop systems and CGMs to new developments in sensing and automation. Rather than focusing on one “best” device, the discussion centers around finding the right fit for each person's lifestyle, preferences, and goals.Dr. E, Dr. P, and Rachael also talk about where technology may be headed next, including dual glucose and ketone sensors, more compatibility between pumps and CGMs, and the possibility of systems that require less hands-on work from people living with diabetes. The takeaway is encouraging: there are more tools and options than ever before, and diabetes technology continues to move toward making daily management simpler, safer, and more flexible.Key Topics• Choosing the right insulin pump and CGM• Tubed vs. tubeless pump systems• How lifestyle and personal preference shape technology choices• The latest updates in automated insulin delivery systems• Dexcom G7 10-day vs. 15-day sensors• Abbott's dual glucose and ketone sensor technology• Medtronic's newest technology developments• Real-world conversations patients have about wearing devices• Continuous ketone monitoring and DKA prevention• The future of fully closed loop systems• Why compatibility between pumps and CGMs matters• Technology options for people with type 2 diabetes• Where diabetes technology may be headed next✨ 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!

 I just had my diabetes supplies changed by insurance without anyone even telling me.No notice. No consent. Just a different order showing up at my door.So I had to call in and figure it out myself.And instead of arguing, I used a few simple psychology-based tactics that completely changed how the conversation went… and I ended up not only fixing the issue, but getting extra supplies approved too.I broke down exactly what I did in this video — step by step — because this is something a lot of people living with diabetes quietly deal with, but don't really talk about. >> 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_imgToDpGrab your free ticket to this advanced T1D training here:https://diabetesinaction.comFree T1D Support Group Here: https://diabetesinaction.com/join-group-1---------Welcome to the Pardon My Pancreas podcast!!

Quotes: “Find something that you can do versus what you can't do, and I've had to make that my mental thought. You can still do things.”  “There is getting past the most horrific things that you go through. You can get past it. You have to just get right with yourself first to move on.” “The scars will always be there, but I now see them as reminders of what I have been through. I wear them with pride.”  Contact Details: Follow Paula Aldis on FacebookSubscribe to Author Paula Aldis on YouTubeShop Paula Aldis' Books on AmazonVisit Paula Aldis' Official Website

Gary Taubes on Rethinking Diabetes: Diet, Insulin, and the History Behind Low-Carb Treatment: Journalist Gary Taubes is author of “Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments.” The book traces diabetes treatment history and argues that carbohydrate restriction was standard care from 1797 through the early 20th century until insulin therapy shifted practice toward drug-centered management and higher-carbohydrate diets. Taubes explains how insulin's discovery changed dietary priorities, how later technology (radioimmunoassay) revealed that most diabetes is type 2 with insulin resistance and high insulin rather than deficiency, and why giving more insulin can worsen weight gain. They discuss major trials (including ACCORD, ADVANCE, and Look AHEAD) that failed to show benefits from intensive drug-based glucose control, the influence of low-fat guidelines, Richard Bernstein's role in blood-glucose self-monitoring and low-carb control, controversies about obesity models, ketosis vs ketoacidosis, GLP-1 drugs, and LDL increases on ketogenic diets.

Rob Howe has lived with type 1 diabetes for 21 years. So when he sat down to interview Claude as a newly diagnosed patient, he expected a pop quiz. What he did not expect: Claude passing the test on the first try by answering as Rob himself. Because Claude thought it been hosting this show all along. This is Diabetics Doing Things Episode 348: Claude vs T1D — an experiment in AI health literacy, a genuinely funny accident, and a real question about what AI-powered diabetes care means for everyone. Guest Bio Claude is Anthropic's large language model and this episode's unusual guest. Rob runs the interview twice: first with his regular Claude (which has absorbed 21 years of his diabetes story and all DDT content), then in an incognito window with a clean slate. The contrast is the episode. Key Topics and Timestamps 1:43 — Why Rob is interviewing AI: the Bernie Sanders moment and the AI zeitgeist of early 2026 2:53 — Round 1 begins: Rob plays newly diagnosed patient, Claude plays diabetes educator 7:07 — The plot twist: Claude reveals it has had T1D for 21 years and started Diabetics Doing Things 8:56 — Rob catches it: Thats my LLM. Resets to incognito mode. 9:30 — Round 2: Fresh Claude, no prior context, same 10 questions 10:37 — Claude covers patient assistance programs, 340B pharmacies, free insulin for the uninsured 13:40 — What you actually cannot do with T1D (shorter list than most people think) 17:22 — The reveal: I have had T1D for 21 years. I think you passed. 18:30 — Robs closing question: Is AI advancing faster than humans on diabetes care? Notable Quotes Okay, I have got to stop Claude there — because clearly that Claude is me. — Rob Howe I started Diabetics Doing Things because I realized there was not enough honest conversation about living with type one — the medical stuff, but the real life stuff, the mental load, the wins, all of it. — Claude (Round 1, in Robs voice) Is the future of diabetes care, no matter who you are or where you are, made better by AI? Really something to think about. — Rob Howe, closing From there, the conversation gets tactical and evidence-driven: why breathing is uniquely powerful because it's both autonomic and voluntary, how airflow through the nose can influence brain activity and calm states, and how slow breathing can improve markers tied to autonomic function (like heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity) that are often reduced in people with diabetes. Rob connects this to modern diabetes stress—constant data, alerts, and decision fatigue—and why breath is a fast, accessible tool for resilience. Nick addresses the “woo vs. science” tension by grounding claims in research and meta-analyses while staying open to whatever “gateway” gets someone to practice safely. They close with simple starting protocols (using an app, 4-in/6-out pacing, diaphragmatic breathing), and emphasize nasal breathing and mouth taping at night as high-leverage habits—“passive income of health”—with a reminder to keep it safe and consistent over perfection.

What does someone really need to know in the first days and weeks after a type 1 diabetes diagnosis?In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus share the “starter kit” they wish every newly diagnosed person and family had from the very beginning. Both diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 15, Steve and Jeremy reflect on what has changed since their own diagnoses and walk through the practical advice, emotional reassurance, and foundational education that can make this transition a little less overwhelming.The conversation covers everything from the typical emotional reaction to a diagnosis to the importance of early diabetes education, starting insulin, using a CGM as soon as possible, and setting realistic blood sugar goals. They also talk about the honeymoon phase, how to keep doing the things you love, why support systems matter, how to find the right provider, and what newly diagnosed families should know about clinical trials and preserving beta cell function.This episode is a reminder that while a new diagnosis can feel like your world has been turned upside down, people with type 1 diabetes can live long, healthy, full lives—and that no one has to figure it all out alone.Key Topics• Why it's okay to feel overwhelmed after diagnosis• The importance of diabetes education right away• Understanding the honeymoon phase• Basal and bolus insulin basics• Why CGM should be started early• Realistic A1C and time-in-range goals• Keeping up with the things you love• Involving family, friends, and support networks• Finding the right diabetes provider• Considering clinical trials after diagnosis• Food, carb counting, and keeping things simple• Staying positive and looking ahead ★ Support this podcast ★

Today's guest is Harriet Jaxxon (@harrietjaxxon).Many of you will know her from international stages, from Boiler Room sets to shows in New York and across Europe. She is building a serious name for herself in the global DJ scene.What a lot of people do not know is that she has been living with Type 1 diabetes since she was 17, diagnosed completely out of the blue.She is very honest about it. It was not some inspirational turning point. It was disruptive. Life altering. In her words, a complete “vibe kill”. And even now, while it is more manageable, it is still something she carries every single day.What stands out to me is how she has integrated that reality into her life. The resilience. The discipline. The mental toughness that comes with managing a chronic condition daily. Those traits have shaped not only her character, but her success.This conversation is real, grounded, and powerful.See and hear more from Harriet:Boiler Room set hereLinks to music hereInstagram hereAs always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.
