Pregnancy with type 1 diabetes comes with tighter blood sugar targets, changing insulin needs, more appointments, and a whole new level of attention to your diabetes. But what does it actually look like to go through the entire experience?In this episode, Lauren sits down with Risely Coach Katerina Harmon, who recently welcomed her daughter, Lydia, to talk through her experience from preparing for pregnancy all the way through labor, delivery, breastfeeding, and the first few months postpartum.Katerina went into pregnancy feeling confident in her diabetes management, with an A1C of 5.9 and months of preparation behind her. But even with that foundation, there was plenty she had to figure out along the way, from insulin needs that changed dramatically throughout pregnancy to advocating for herself, preparing for labor and delivery, and finding a new rhythm with T1D once Lydia was here.WHAT WE COVER:What Katerina did months before trying to conceive to prepare her blood sugars for pregnancyHow her insulin needs changed throughout each trimesterWhy knowing how to recognize patterns and confidently adjust insulin became so importantKaterina's experience using manual mode during much of her pregnancyAdvocating for yourself with your endocrinology, MFM, and OB teamsHow Katerina prepared her husband to help manage her T1D during laborHer 44-hour labor, induction, epidural, and four and a half hours of pushingWhat happened to her insulin needs after giving birthBreastfeeding with T1D and navigating postpartum lowsWhat Katerina wishes women with T1D knew before beginning pregnancy prepIf pregnancy is something you're thinking about in the next year or two, you're actively preparing, or you're already pregnant, this conversation gives you an honest look at what the experience can actually look like with type 1 diabetes.WHAT'S NEXT:

Managing type 2 diabetes can change over time, but having the right information for your patients can make those changes feel a lot more manageable. CGM can help your patients see what's happening with their blood sugar and guide what comes next.In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus discuss how continuous glucose monitoring is changing the way type 2 diabetes is managed for your patients, especially as treatment needs evolve over time. They explain why type 2 diabetes can progress from lifestyle changes and oral medications to GLP-1 therapies and insulin, and why needing insulin isn't a personal failure. They also explore how seeing glucose data in real time can help your patients better understand how meals, exercise, medications, and insulin affect their glucose throughout the day. The conversation gets practical with how CGM can help guide your patients' transition to basal insulin, make insulin adjustments easier and safer, and identify when mealtime insulin may be needed. Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus explain what overnight glucose patterns can tell you about your patients' basal insulin dose, how to recognize post-meal spikes, and why starting mealtime insulin doesn't necessarily mean adding injections at every meal for your patients. They also discuss newer basal insulins, avoiding too much basal insulin, and how automated insulin delivery systems may fit into the future of type 2 diabetes management. Ultimately, CGM gives your patients living with type 2 diabetes more than glucose numbers. It provides feedback that can help them recognize patterns, see how their treatment is working, and work with their healthcare team to make more informed adjustments as their diabetes management needs change.Key Topics:Why type 2 diabetes treatment needs can change over timeHow insulin resistance and declining insulin production affect glucose managementWhy needing insulin is not a personal failureHow CGM use is expanding in type 2 diabetesUsing CGM with lifestyle changes, oral medications, GLP-1 therapies, and insulinWhat time in range, GMI, and glucose variability can tell youHow CGM can help determine when basal insulin may be neededUsing overnight glucose patterns to adjust basal insulinWhy insulin titration matters more than the initial starting doseHow CGM can make insulin adjustments easier and saferWhen mealtime insulin may be neededWhy mealtime insulin doesn't always have to be taken with every mealHow to recognize and avoid too much basal insulinThe benefits of newer long-acting basal insulinsWhen patients with type 2 diabetes may want to consider an insulin pump or automated insulin delivery systemHow real-time glucose feedback can help people take a more active role in their diabetes management✨ 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!

In this episode, Lauren sits down with Dara Melnick, a licensed therapist who has lived with T1D for 38 years, to talk about the side of “good” diabetes management beyond the numbers.Dara spent years trying to keep her numbers as perfect as possible. She tested her blood sugar up to 30 times a day before CGMs, developed strict rules around food, and eventually stopped eating breakfast to avoid the spike. Her A1C looked great, but managing T1D was exhausting. Through Risely coaching, Dara learned how to loosen those rules without sacrificing the blood sugars she had worked so hard for. Today, she has a 5.7 A1C while eating based on what her body is asking for, salmon and sourdough or Cheez-Its and pretzels.Lauren and Dara also get into what 38 years with T1D has taught Dara as a therapist, a mom, and a woman, from using the “power of the pause” when diabetes goes sideways to why asking for help can be one of the most powerful things you do for yourself.WHAT WE COVER:How trying to keep her blood sugar “perfect” led Dara to a 6.1 A1C, testing up to 30 times a day, and eventually skipping breakfast altogetherThe Risely secrets that helped Dara go from strict food rules to a 5.7 A1C while eating what she craved, when she craved itWhen “good” diabetes management crosses the line into diabetes controlling your lifeWhat led Dara to ask for help even though she's a licensed therapist who'd managed T1D for decadesThe “power of the pause” and how Dara uses it to respond instead of react to CGM readingsWhat T1D has taught Dara about raising her 10 and 13-year-old kids, including the lesson they learned when she suddenly went low on a family hikeWHAT'S NEXT:

Chronic kidney disease remains a persistent risk for people with type 1 diabetes, with roughly 30% of this population in the US developing the complication despite optimized glucose, blood pressure, and lipid management. Until now, no therapy directly targeted the mineralocorticoid receptor pathway implicated in this progression for this group.On a recent episode of Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, and Real-World Perspectives, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, discussed the US FDA approval of finerenone (Kerendia) for chronic kidney disease associated with type 1 diabetes.The approval marks the first new therapy in 30 years for this population and represents the third indication for finerenone, following its approvals for chronic kidney disease with type 2 diabetes in 2025 and for heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction above 40%. Regulators granted priority review, and the decision draws on a broader evidence base spanning roughly 20,000 patients across five pivotal phase 3 trials of the nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist class.The phase 3 FINE-ONE trial, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, enrolled 242 adults with type 1 diabetes across nine countries and 80 sites and supported the approval. Finerenone added to standard of care reduced urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) by 25% from baseline over six months compared with placebo. Overall, 68.1% of participants receiving finerenone achieved a UACR reduction of at least 30%, versus 46.6% with placebo, a threshold the American Diabetes Association associates with slowed CKD progression.Finerenone carries a risk of hyperkalemia, requiring potassium monitoring, and should not be combined with steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists such as spironolactone or with concurrent ACE inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker therapy. Unlike SGLT2 inhibitors, which remain unapproved in type 1 diabetes due to concerns about euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, finerenone offers clinicians a mechanistically distinct option with a defined safety profile in this population.The approval also renews attention on UACR screening, which remains underused in primary care despite annual screening recommendations for all patients with diabetes. Broader adoption of routine screening, paired with earlier mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist initiation, may extend the renoprotective gains demonstrated in FINE-ONE to more patients with type 1 diabetes.

Samuel Reich, Chief Executive Officer at SAB Bio, is developing a fully human antibody therapy designed to transform type 1 diabetes treatment by preserving patients' beta cells and their ability to produce insulin, rather than just managing symptoms with insulin and glucose monitoring. The drug is produced using the company's bovine platform which uses genetically modified cows to generate human immunoglobulins offering a safer more scalable alternative to rabbit-derived therapies. If successful, this approach could represent a functional cure, potentially transforming type 1 diabetes from a disease requiring daily insulin management to one requiring only periodic infusions. Samuel explains, "Our mission at SAB Bio is to transform what it means to get a type 1 diabetes diagnosis by changing the course of the disease, and not just treating the symptoms, with our new medicine, which is called SAB-142. Why type 1 diabetes? It's a major global unmet medical need that has largely been underserved in research until recently."  "Insulin and glucose monitoring are the standard of care, but they don't treat the disease. They don't treat the patient's illness. They just manage the symptoms and allow the patient to survive. So, they're essential, but they're not helping the patient be healthier or manage the disease process. Our mission is to treat the disease causing type 1 diabetes by saving the patient's beta cells and saving the patient's ability to make their own insulin. And exogenous insulin is no substitute for the patient's own ability to make insulin." "So we have a platform at SAB called the TcBovine, which is a transchromosomal bovine. And these are cows that are healthy and happy cows that look like normal dairy cows, but the cows make human IgG, or human antibodies, instead of cow IgG. And we vaccinate our cows with human thymocytes and purify the IgG from the cow plasma. And our drug is a fully human immunoglobulin, which targets human thymocytes. So, it does what the rabbit drug does, thymoglobulin, but it's human and can be given more safely without making the patient sick, and can be given for the life of the patient to continue to preserve their beta cells for the long term." #SABBio #Type1Diabetes #TD1 #JDRF#Immunology #ClinicalResearch #Endocrinology #AutoimmuneDisease #MedicalInnovation #BetaCells #T1D #HealthcareInnovation #ClinicalTrials sab.bio Download the transcript here

Hormone balance can affect blood sugar management, but what if type 1 diabetes could finally have a functional cure?     In this powerful conversation, Lisa Fischer sits down with Katie Beth Hand, one of just 12 participants in the groundbreaking Eladon clinical trial, to hear what happened after she received an islet cell transplant. Katie Beth explains how she was diagnosed with adult-onset type 1 diabetes, why managing the disease became a relentless 24/7 responsibility, and how continuous glucose monitoring changed her care.     She also breaks down how donor islet cells were placed in her liver, why the Eladon trial's immunomodulator could change the future of transplantation, and what life feels like after coming off insulin. From pregnancy and motherhood to organ donation, clinical trial phases, and the meaning of a "functional cure," Katie Beth offers an inside look at a potential turning point for people living with type 1 diabetes.    

Before the availability of insulin therapy, diabetes was a contraindication to pregnancy. It was recommended that women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) not get pregnant.Today, with intensive insulin therapy, many tools exist to care for people with T1D. Nevertheless, pregnant women with T1D are still considered to have high-risk pregnancies, and susceptible to complications such as fetal overgrowth, or having a large baby.Complications of T1D and pregnancy was the topic of a presentation by Camille Powe, MD, at this year's 13th Annual Type 1 Diabetes Fellows Program. Dr. Powe is co-director of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Program at Massachusetts General Hospital at Mass General Brigham. She's also Associate Professor of Medicine and Associate Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology at Harvard Medical School. In this episode, Host Aaron Lohr talks with Dr. Powe about the range of complications associated with diabetes in pregnancy, along with insights and updates to provide the best care possible.

Jasmine Jones was five months into treatment for an aggressive form of breast cancer when she ended up in the ICU with DKA and heard another life-changing diagnosis: Type 1 diabetes.As a CrossFit athlete, coach, and military veteran who had always built so much of her identity around health and strength, Jasmine suddenly found herself learning how to manage insulin while she was still going through chemotherapy.In this episode, Jasmine sits down with Lauren to talk about navigating two life-changing diagnoses in less than a year, from being discharged from the hospital scared to give herself insulin and seeing blood sugars in the 300s, to eventually going from 52% time in range to consistently reaching 85–90%. She also opens up about rebuilding her relationship to food, , her identity, and how she went  from thinking, “This can't be life,” to feeling like she was back in the driver's seat.This is one of our favorite conversations of the year. Enjoy.WHAT WE COVER:How Jasmine was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just five months after her breast cancer diagnosis, while still undergoing chemotherapy and immunotherapyWhat it was like to leave the ICU with a new T1D diagnosis, a sliding scale, and very little understanding of how to actually manage insulinHow Jasmine went from an 8.4 A1C and 52% time in range to 85% consistently, all while still recovering from cancerThe exact mindset shift that took Jasmine from terrified to give herself insulin to confidently adjusting her own settingsWhat she did to rebuild her confidence with food after a diagnosis sent her relationship with food into a tailspinWhy this lifelong athlete had to completely rethink what “strength” meant after cancer and T1D changed what her body could doWhy Jasmine believes finding people who understand T1D changed the trajectory of her first year with diabetesWHAT'S NEXT:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common complications of diabetes, but here's the tricky part: you can have it for years without feeling any symptoms. The good news? Kidney disease can often be detected early, and with the right screening, treatments, and lifestyle changes, its progression can be dramatically slowed. In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus are joined by nephrologist Dr. Bethany Karl to break down what everyone with diabetes should know about kidney health. Dr. E also steps into the patient seat to share his own experience living with chronic kidney disease, from discovering it without symptoms to navigating kidney tests and newer treatments. Together, they explain the two simple tests that can uncover kidney problems, why blood pressure and cardiovascular health matter, and how today's growing toolbox of medications is giving people with diabetic kidney disease more reasons for hope.Key Topics:Why chronic kidney disease is often a “silent” complication of diabetesHow diabetes can affect the kidneys over timeDr. Edelman's personal experience with diabetic kidney diseaseThe two important kidney tests: eGFR and UACRWhy urine protein can be an important early warning signHow often people with diabetes should have their kidneys screenedThe connection between glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart health, and kidney healthLifestyle considerations for protecting kidney functionMedications that can help slow the progression of diabetic kidney diseaseNewer kidney-protective therapies and why there is more reason for optimism today✨ 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!

A few years ago, when we talked about screening for type 1 diabetes, it still felt a little bit like we were talking about the future. That future may be arriving faster than we realize. Dr. Bryce Nelson is back on the show. After years as a pediatric endocrinologist, he's now working specifically in autoimmune type 1 diabetes with Sanofi. We talk about how much has changed with screening, what we're learning about who's at risk, and the big question: how close are we to screening becoming a routine part of healthcare? And Jenny Hoffman shares what this looks like for a family living it. Her older son was diagnosed at two and a half; after years of screening her younger son, Asher, he tested positive for five autoantibodies at age six. He's still in stage one, and Jenny talks about the surprising difference between fearing a diagnosis and having the time to prepare for one. Where is type 1 screening headed next? That's what we're talking about today. This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.

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 ★

Insulin has been used to treat type 1 diabetes for more than a century but now there is a new treatment being rolled out on the NHS that can delay the onset of the disease for years. Alongside, screening is gathering pace, identifying those that could benefit. So, is this the beginning of a new era for type 1 diabetes treatment? Dima and his mum Elena explain what it was like to be told that he had tested positive for developing type 1 diabetes and what it was like taking part in the trial for this new drug, teplizumab. Parth Narendran, a Professor of Diabetes Medicine at the University of Birmingham, and Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist Dr Renuka Dias at Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital, reveal how these changes are transforming treatment. In July, the NHS announced plans to incentivise us to walk a marathon a month by offering vouchers and discounts. But with scant detail on how the plan will actually work, we ask Joan Costa-i-Font, Professor of Health Economics at London School of Economics, what makes schemes like this succeed or fail. Plus, why are horse fly bites so painful? Dr Erica McAlister, an entomologist at the Natural History Museum, explains how the flies break into our skin, while consultant dermatologist Dr Alexandra Banner describes what's happening in our bodies.

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.

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:

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.

They discuss helping children navigate school, sports, friendships, burnout, and growing independence, while giving parents practical strategies to reduce fear, build confidence, and create a healthier relationship with diabetes. The conversation also covers diabetes technology, social media, Afrezza for children, community support, and why perfection should never be the goal.Whether you're the parent of a newly diagnosed child or have been managing type 1 diabetes for years, this episode offers practical advice, reassurance, and reminders that children with diabetes can live full, active lives.✨ 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!

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.

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 special episode, Dr. Neil Skolnik speaks with Janet McGill, MD, MA, FACE, FACP about the underdiscussed prevalence of CKD in type 1 and the importance of continued development in this area.
