Podcasts about Type 1 diabetes

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.

We've got a research update on two of the topics you've told me you want to hear more about. First, research into Preventing type 1 – with a therapy that hasn't been in the headlines.. and second, inhaled insulin for kids. We're talking to Dr. Michael Haller, a peds endo who is at the forefront of these studies. We'll be talking about something called ATG – which looks really good in very low dose trials – and about the latest studies around inhaled insulin for kids – which is in front of the FDA right now.

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!

Jeremy Pettus and Steve Edelman—endocrinologists living with Type 1 diabetes—as they reveal why this unique tool is often misunderstood and how to use it effectively to flatten post-meal spikes.In this episode, we move beyond the basics to correct the biggest mistake users make regarding Afrezza dosage. If you've tried this therapy before and felt it "didn't work," the issue often lies in the conversion ratio. We review data from Afrezza MannKind studies (such as INHALE-3) to explain the shift from the old 1:1 ratio to the more effective 1:3 ratio. We also cover why this "rapid-on, rapid-off" insulin is the ultimate solution for exercise and how to navigate insurance coverage and prior authorizations.Topics covered in this episode:The Dosing Fix: Why you often need a higher Afrezza dosage compared to subcutaneous insulin.Speed & Kinetics: How inhaled insulin mimics the body's natural beta cells to clear glucose fast.Lifestyle Benefits: Managing "sticky highs," exercise without crashing, and dietary freedom.Safety & Screening: Spirometry requirements and who should (and shouldn't) use Afrezza.Pediatric Updates: The latest on clinical trials and potential approval for children.Whether you are managing Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, this episode provides the practical "tips and tricks" you need to determine if Afrezza is the missing tool in your diabetes management kitTimecodes: 0:00 Intro: Inhaled Insulin History 0:59 How Fast is Afrezza?

Please note this episode of Type 1 on 1 contains honest discussion of severe depression at around 1'08", including suicidal thoughts. No matter how long you've been living with or close to type 1 diabetes, it remains an incredibly complex condition to understand. And while there's a wealth of information out there to dig into, knowing what to pay attention to can be just as daunting. John Pemberton is a diabetes technology consultant, children's dietician, researcher and has been living with type 1 diabetes himself for around 20 years. So if you're looking for research-backed information about the right insulin pump, want to know why 20 minutes of walking is the magic key to a stubborn high glucose reading, or you just need to start with the basics without getting overwhelmed, his diabetes education platform The Glucose Never Lies could be the answer. It was created after his young son Jude tested positive for diabetes antibodies, and when it comes to distilling complicated diabetes information and making it make sense, John is a master of the craft.In this episode we cover an incredible amount - from the professional, including his work with newly diagnosed families, the latest in diabetes research and his love of continuous glucose monitoring, to the deeply personal, including how years of undiagnosed ADHD led to severe depression and suicidal thoughts. After getting the right treatment in July 2025, John has found renewed purpose in taking The Glucose Never Lies to the next level.CONNECT WITH JOHNThe Glucose Never Lies Website The Glucose Never Lies Podcast on Spotify Diabetes Specialist Nurse Forum CGM comparison chart.DISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice. Please consult your healthcare team before making any changes to your diabetes or health management.JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 COMMUNITY:Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.Visit the Type 1 on 1 website.Subscribe to the Type 1 on 1 newsletter.SPONSOR MESSAGEThis episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Dexcom.

This November, in recognition of Diabetes Awareness Month, we are resharing a series of important episodes that explore the realities, challenges, and innovations surrounding diabetes care and management. This week's episode features Maddie Julian, CEO and Co-founder of DigiBete, an NHS-approved, patient-centred video platform and app created to support and empower children, young people, and families living with diabetes. Maddie shares how DigiBete is helping raise awareness and improve access to resources for those affected by type 1 diabetes. This month carries a particularly deep meaning for us all at THC, as we remember Tahlia, daughter of our host Tara, who tragically passed away. Tahlia lived with type 1 diabetes, and her story is a powerful reminder of how complex and serious this condition can be. By revisiting these conversations we hope to raise awareness, and honour Tahlia's memory by helping others better grasp the life threatening nature of diabetes and the importance of ongoing support for those living with the condition. If these episodes help even one person understand diabetes more deeply or take action to protect a loved one, then we know Tahlia's legacy continues to make a difference.

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

In 72 hours, my life changed forever.In August 2023, nurses rushed me to Portsmouth Regional Hospital, where they discovered my dangerously high blood sugar levels, the classic precursor for a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. I stayed for the weekend, and left the hospital as a completely different person.Since then, diabetes has made my life extremely complicated:Waking up sweaty in the middle of the night by dangerously low blood sugar levels. Carrying sugary snacks on me everywhere I go. Visiting the pharmacy every other day to pick up yet another (expensive) piece of diabetes supplies.Nearly dying on multiple occasions.That's the reality for a Type 1 diabetic, a reality that's intimately understood by actress Elle Shaheen (yes, that Shaheen). And this November, Diabetes Awareness Month, it's about time to shed a light on life with this disease.Diagnosed at eight years old, Elle - daughter of N.H. politician Stefany Shaheen and granddaughter of U.S. senator Jeanne Shaheen - has lived with this disease the majority of her life. Even after 18 years of managing this disease, diabetes still haunts her every day.Elle is the subject of the 2016 New York Times bestseller, "Elle & Coach," Stefany Shaheen's book about Elle's diagnosis, the effect of diabetes on their family, and the medical alert dog - Coach - that brought some much-needed relief to the Shaheen's chaotic lives.From the West End of Portsmouth, we discuss our near-death experiences with diabetes, her work as an advocate, meeting President Obama, growing up with a medical dog by her side at all times, and whether researchers will find a cure in our lifetimes.Plus, Elle's time in the Portsmouth theater scene, her Broadway dreams, and life in Hollywood during the entertainment industry's existential crisis.To support finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, you can donate here to Breakthrough T1D, the organization responsible for leading the fight against this disease.CHAPTERS:What is Type 1 diabetes?

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 ★
