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.

3 Months Later: Is She Still Cured of Type 1 Diabetes?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before Katie Beth Hand was cured of type 1 diabetes (T1D), she carefully evaluated everything before each meal. Over the course of 13 years living with T1D, she had to make at least 200 extra decisions per day about simple tasks like eating, exercising, and sleeping.
But today, the only thing she has to worry about at mealtime is "what looks good?" This feels unimaginable to people with T1D—a true mic drop moment—but Katie is charting new territory.
In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, she shares her current A1C, how she manages her daily life, which checkups are needed, and the process of "becoming undiabetic" after participating in Eledon's clinical trial to cure T1D.
One unexpected benefit? People have even started telling her she looks better! You would too if your body controlled your A1C for you.
