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.

In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, we catch up with Ali Dugger five months after her pancreas and kidney transplant. While she’s now insulin-free, her journey is far from challenge-free, and her gratitude through it all is nothing short of inspiring.
Ali opens up about what life really looks like after a transplant, the ups and downs she’s faced, and the mindset that keeps her moving forward. Her story is a powerful reminder of resilience, hope, and the reality of life beyond type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Stay tuned—we’ll be checking in with Ali again soon for the next chapter of her journey.
Thanks for tuning in!
