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?
We're talking about daily life with diabetes, managing insulin, cure research, new therapies, CGMs and pumps, and our mental health while we juggle it all.
These are real conversations. No scripts.
This podcast is simply a real conversation about life with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The Side-Effects Are Killing You — But Your Doctor is Clueless
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, Tara Mayo — my best friend and business partner — shares the moment she realized her grandmother's medicine was killing her. Despite a half-dozen tests, not a single doctor ever thought to check the side effects of her medicine.
For people with diabetes, it's a big reminder to speak up, ask questions, and advocate for yourself!
Thanks for tuning in!
