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.

This is the Real Secret to Losing Weight with T1D
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) struggle not just with blood sugar management, but with weight loss and sustainable health habits—and too many are left to figure it out alone.
In this episode, Leanne Matthews and I get real about what actually makes T1D weight management so hard, and why quick fixes keep falling apart.
We talk about fear of lows, unpredictable insulin needs, and the truth about building a routine that lasts. There are no magic tricks when it comes to weight loss, just the practical, real, sometimes hard stuff that actually makes a difference.
