Diabetes Nerd
Seriously? Another diabetes podcast? Yup. I couldn't help myself: I love talking about real life with type 1 and type 2 diabetes with friends, strangers, colleagues, and clinicians. Why not record these chats and share them with you?
No Scripts. Very little planning. Definitely zero editing.
This podcast is simply a real conversation about life with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Over the years, she's published many books, including Exercise with Type 1 Diabetes, Dealing with Diabetes Burnout, Pregnancy with Type 1 Diabetes, and more!
