Podcasts about Type 1 diabetes

Hot flashes, blood sugar swings, brain fog... is it menopause, diabetes, or both?In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Steve Edelman is joined by renowned menopause expert Dr. Cindy Stuenkel, endocrinologist and Professor Emerita at UC San Diego, for an insightful conversation about how menopause affects women living with diabetes. Together, they explain why menopause is much more than a normal stage of aging. It's a major metabolic transition that can influence blood sugar management, insulin resistance, heart health, sleep, mood, and overall quality of life. The conversation explores what actually happens during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, why hormonal fluctuations can make glucose management more challenging, and how continuous glucose monitoring can help distinguish hot flashes from hypoglycemia. Dr. Edelman and Dr. Stuenkel also discuss the latest evidence on hormone replacement therapy, newer non-hormonal treatment options, the importance of protecting heart health, and practical strategies to help women navigate this stage of life with greater confidence. Whether you're living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, approaching menopause, currently experiencing it, or supporting someone who is, this episode provides practical guidance and evidence-based information to help you feel more prepared. Key TopicsWhat is perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause?How hormonal changes affect blood sugar and insulin resistanceWhy menopause can increase glucose variability in women with diabetesThe difference between hot flashes and hypoglycemiaHow continuous glucose monitoring can help during menopauseMetabolic changes that occur during the menopause transitionWhy cardiovascular risk increases after menopauseThe connection between menopause, weight gain, and abdominal fatGLP-1 medications and menopauseThe latest recommendations on hormone replacement therapyNew non-hormonal treatments for hot flashesSleep, mood, brain fog, and quality of life during menopauseHeart health strategies for women living with diabetesHow partners can better support someone going through menopauseTrusted menopause resources and when to seek medical care Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, expert conversations, and the latest advances in diabetes care to help people living with diabetes live healthier, more confident lives. ★ Support this podcast ★

Lauri Beale never imagined a routine visit would end with her 5-year-old daughter being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. What followed was an 11-month honeymoon phase that left her family in a constant state of uncertainty. While her daughter was still producing some insulin, every day felt unpredictable, and Lauri found herself waiting for the other shoe to drop.In this conversation with Risely's Director of Coaching, Abby Cooper, Lauri shares what the first year after diagnosis really looked like. From the mental load that consumed every conversation with her husband to learning how to parent as a team without letting diabetes take over their family, she opens up about the challenges most parents don't expect. She also shares how expanding her toolkit through coaching, prioritizing her own mental health, and reframing blood sugar data helped her move from fear to confidence. If you're raising a child with type 1 diabetes and wondering whether life will ever feel manageable again, this episode offers practical hope from someone who's been there.WHAT WE COVER:What an 11-month honeymoon phase practically looked like with insulin dosing The simple communication rule that stopped diabetes from taking over every conversation in their marriageThe three things that helped Lauri stop living in survival mode after her daughter's diagnosisThe biggest frustrations with their endocrinology appointments, and how they got the confidence to stop waiting in between appointments to make changesHow they started building diabetes independence in their 6-year-old without putting too much on her shouldersThe mindset and management changes that helped increase their daughter Regan's Time in Range from 65% to 85%WHAT'S NEXT:

In this episode, we sit down with Dennis Goldensohn who has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 58 years. From the era of boiling glass syringes and urine tests to today's connected insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors, Dennis shares how diabetes management evolved from guesswork into a science. We also discuss the importance of mindset, surviving the day to day and how to build habits that became second nature. We talk about the discipline it took to keep showing up, and the advice he'd give anyone newly diagnosed today. Along the way, he reflects on refusing to let the diagnosis define his identity, choosing instead to see it as a circumstance he manages rather than a label he wears. This conversation is packed with practical wisdom on longevity, mindset, and what it really means to thrive — not just survive — with Type 1 Diabetes for nearly six decades.   Join the Diapoint mailing list for exclusive insights, offers and diabetes wisdom.

Lowering A1C in Prediabetes and Using Less Insulin on a Low-Carb Diet: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, answers listener questions about blood sugar and insulin. Responding to Rita, whose hemoglobin A1C rose from 5.6 to 5.8, Layla says “glucose hacks” to blunt carb absorption aren't appropriate at that level and recommends a strict very low-carb/keto approach (under 25 grams of total carbs per day), avoiding sugar, starchy vegetables, fruit (except avocado), sweetened beverages, and even alternative sweeteners and low-carb processed products; she suggests retesting A1C after three months and avoiding testing during illness or inflammation. She also addresses Joy, a type 1 diabetic, affirming low-carb eating to reduce insulin needs and weight gain, criticizing an insurance pricing structure that charges more when insulin is used more slowly, and expressing concern about doctors prescribing insulin too quickly for type 2 diabetes instead of dietary intervention.

Graham asked Ken one question that stopped him in his tracks - is there a right or wrong way to manage Type 1 diabetes? The wrong way to manage Type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with your numbers. Nothing to do with your A1C, your TIR, pre-bolusing, carb counting, or CGM numbers. For Ken, the one non-negotiable your mental health. Because if your mental health isn't in alignment with your diabetes, none of the other stuff works the way it should. Fear, resentment, burnout, avoidance - will run your decisions and move you towards distrust in yourself. 

Kenna Porter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 13, and for years she did everything she thought she was supposed to. She followed a strict paleo diet, worked out consistently, and built her life around healthy habits. But every time she went to the endocrinologist, she still couldn't seem to get her A1C below 7%.Together, they talk about the frustration of feeling like nothing was working despite doing everything "right,", learning to let go of control, navigating pregnancy and motherhood with Type 1 diabetes, and the tangible shifts that helped diabetes finally feel lighter to live with.WHAT WE COVER:Why doing everything "right" still wasn't enough to get her A1C below 7% and what she had to do instead The shifts that helped Kenna stop chasing perfection and find a more sustainable approach to diabetesThe role comparison played in keeping her stuck, and how she finally broke free from itWhy Kenna avoided connecting with other people with Type 1 diabetes for nearly a decadeThe realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and emergency C-sections with Type 1 diabetesKenna's experience navigating miscarriage with Type 1 diabetes and the message she wants other women to hearWHAT'S NEXT:

When your child's CGM alarms at 2 a.m., does your body go into panic mode before your brain has a chance to think?If you're raising a child with Type 1 diabetes, you know the constant mental load. The carb counting, the overnight alarms, the second guessing, and the pressure to get every decision right.In this episode, Lauren and Risely's Director of Coaching, Abby Cooper, sit down after spending  three days at the Friends for Life Conference to share the seven things they wish every T1D caregiver knew. Not carb ratios or pump settings, but the beliefs, nervous system patterns, and relationship dynamics that quietly shape everything about how T1D feels to manage as a family. Including why shielding your child from the burden of this disease can work against them, why your nervous system matters just as much as their blood sugar, and why time and happiness deserves just as much weight as time in range.WHAT WE COVER:Highlights from the Orlando Friends for Life ConferenceThe surprising difference between teaching diabetes management and helping your child build a healthy relationship with diabetesWhy your child's nervous system often mirrors yours, and practical ways to stay regulated during stressful diabetes momentsThe mistake many parents make when trying to "protect" their child from diabetes, and how to build confidence through age-appropriate independenceHow diabetes quietly creates resentment between partners, and the conversation most couples never realize they need to haveWhy T1D Facebook groups can leave parents feeling more anxious than informed, and how to know when it's time to step awayWhy one family with 93% Time in Range still felt like they were losing, and the powerful concept of Time in Happiness that completely reframes success as a T1D caregiverWHAT'S NEXT:

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.

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.

Aimee Perrin shares her journey of being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 16 and how she's navigated life, health, and resilience ever since. Featuring insights from Dr. Robert Kiltz and the Kiltz Method.If you want it more emotional, more clinical, or more punchy for algorithm performance, I can tailor it to your brand voice.

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!

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.

What happens when the healthcare professional becomes the parent sitting on the other side of the diagnosis? In this episode, Katie Taylor sits down with Melissa Apa—a clinical pharmacist, diabetes educator, and mom—to share her family's journey navigating both celiac disease and type 1 diabetes with her young son. Melissa opens up about the emotional overwhelm of receiving life-changing diagnoses, even with years of medical expertise behind her, and how her family learned to adapt, advocate, and find stability in the chaos. From replacing every pot and pan in her kitchen overnight to teaching her six-year-old how to manage his insulin pump, Melissa shares the realities of parenting a child with chronic illness while balancing work, marriage, caregiving, and the emotional toll of always being "on." Together, Katie and Melissa explore the invisible mental load medical parents carry, the importance of empowering kids to advocate for themselves, and why support systems matter just as much as medical education. This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply hopeful for any parent navigating a chronic diagnosis with their child. What You'll Hear in This Episode: The unexpected appointment that changed everything with a celiac diagnosis Why Melissa says her entire career prepared her to care for her son The emotional impact of becoming both a healthcare provider and a medical mom How type 1 diabetes and celiac disease are often connected The pressure parents feel around "good" and "bad" numbers in diabetes care Why medical parents need systems, routines, and "go bags" to survive daily life Teaching children to advocate for themselves in school and healthcare settings The realities of never fully stepping away from caregiving responsibilities How Melissa and her husband creatively protect their relationship and mental health Why diabetes management can become more manageable with support and practice Key Takeaways: Chronic illness management is emotional—not just medical Blood sugar numbers are data, not moral judgments Kids are capable of learning and advocating for themselves earlier than we think Systems and routines can reduce overwhelm for families Caregivers deserve support, too The beginning of a diagnosis journey is often the hardest part—but it won't always feel this overwhelming About Our Guest: Melissa Apa is a clinical pharmacist, diabetes educator, podcast host, and mom of two from Buffalo, New York. After diagnosing her son with type 1 diabetes and navigating celiac disease as a family, Melissa shifted her focus toward helping families manage chronic illness with more confidence, support, and sustainable systems. Through coaching, education, and advocacy, she helps parents move from survival mode to feeling empowered in everyday life.

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!

From surviving Type 1 diabetes, cancer, amputation, medical malpractice, and near-death experiences to rebuilding her happiness and marriage, Paula Aldis shares a deeply personal story of resilience, faith, and emotional healing. In this episode, Paula opens up about living with chronic illness from childhood, enduring more than 30 surgeries, and navigating years of physical and mental hardship while refusing to lose her identity or hope. https://youtu.be/W9GEKvAdFvw She discusses the emotional toll of constant medical crises, the strain it placed on her family and marriage, and the turning point that inspired her to write her memoir, The Woman Who Wouldn't Quit: Unbreakable Spirit. Paula explains how writing the book became a cathartic process that helped her reclaim her voice, process trauma, and finally move beyond simply surviving. The conversation also explores topics like adoption, parenting children with mental health challenges, PTSD in military families, finding happiness after trauma, and learning to appreciate life's small moments again. Paula's story is a powerful reminder that resilience isn't about pretending to be strong—it's about continuing to move forward, even after unimaginable pain. If you've ever struggled with chronic illness, emotional burnout, family hardship, or finding joy after adversity, this episode will leave you inspired by Paula's honesty, courage, and refusal to quit. 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
