Diabetes Nerd
Seriously? Another diabetes podcast? Yup. I couldn't help myself. In this podcast, we are breaking down diabetes cure research, insulin management tips, pump and CGM technology, other meds like GLP-1s, burnout, and inspiring stories.
These are real conversations about life with diabetes.

The Diabetes App That Fills the Gaps Left by Your CGM & Pump
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you've ever wished your CGM or insulin pump could do just a little more, this episode is for you.
I'm joined by Greg Badros, founder of Gluroo and father of a son with type 1 diabetes, to talk about how he built an app to fill the gaps left by today's diabetes technology.
Together, we dive into everything from logging meals, exercise, insulin, and low treatments to identifying patterns that can help you better understand what's affecting your blood sugar day-to-day.
We also talk about how Gluroo works alongside your existing diabetes devices, why it was designed to reduce the mental burden of diabetes rather than add to it, and how its companion apps, Got CGM and FlashSnack, make managing diabetes even easier.
Whether you're living with type 1 diabetes yourself or caring for someone who is, I think you'll come away with a better understanding of how the right tools can help you spend less time managing diabetes and more time living your life.
Let me know in the comments: What's one feature you wish your CGM or insulin pump could do that it doesn't today?
