Coach Ken Kniss & Graham Hubbard

Welcome to the 2TYPEONES Podcast, where we discuss the world of diabetes and challenge you to find "What Works For You." We are not doctors, endocrinologists, or medical professionals, just 2 guys who LIVE with the disease every day. Our goal is to empower you to live life on your own terms. Your experiences shape your reality, and we want nothing more than to share our experiences with the WORLD!Hosted by Coach Ken Kniss and Graham Hubbard.

Graham asked Ken one question that stopped him in his tracks - is there a right or wrong way to manage Type 1 diabetes?

The wrong way to manage Type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with your numbers. Nothing to do with your A1C, your TIR, pre-bolusing, carb counting, or CGM numbers. For Ken, the one non-negotiable your mental health. Because if your mental health isn't in alignment with your diabetes, none of the other stuff works the way it should. Fear, resentment, burnout, avoidance - will run your decisions and move you towards distrust in yourself.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why Ken believes the only wrong way to manage Type 1 diabetes is mental health misalignment
How fear, resentment, and burnout quietly destroy your diabetes management from the inside out
Why great numbers mean nothing if you can't stand living with this condition
The importance of staying connected to your endocrinologist — and what happens when people don't
How grounding and barefoot training support nervous system health for diabetics
What diabetic socks actually do — and why most people don't use them until it's too late
Why inflammation is the root cause of most physical complications in Type 1 diabetes
Why constipation and digestive issues have a direct impact on blood sugar and insulin sensitivity

Great numbers without feeling strong in your identity with diabetes isn't success - it's a ticking clock. The moment your relationship with this condition breaks down, everything else follows. Get the mindset right first. Everything else has a way of falling into place.

Ken just returned from diabetes camp and Graham had questions. Lots of them.

What started as a catch-up conversation turned into one of the most relatable episodes Ken and Graham have recorded — because at the heart of it is something every person with Type 1 diabetes knows intimately: the moment your normal routine disappears, diabetes gets unpredictable fast.

Ken breaks down what it actually looked like to manage his blood sugar during camp — the increased physical activity, the completely different food environment, and why he went the first two days without taking any basal insulin at all. It's a real-world example of something Ken coaches his clients through constantly — that diabetes management isn't a fixed system. It's a living, breathing process that has to flex with your life.

From there the conversation shifts into nutrition — and this is where Ken gets personal. He's currently trying to identify which foods are inflaming his digestive system, why bloating and inflammation are directly connected to insulin resistance, and why reading the ingredient list matters far more than reading the nutrition label. Graham shares his own grocery habits, the Fairlife protein shakes he swears by, and — in a moment of perfect irony — admits they might be the very thing making him feel bloated every night.

This one is warm, honest, and exactly the kind of conversation you'd have with two friends who happen to know more about diabetes than almost anyone else you'll ever meet.

🔑 Key Takeaways

What diabetes camp actually looks like — and why Ken recommends it for every young diabetic
Why Ken skipped basal insulin for the first two days of camp and what that tells us about activity and blood sugar
How to adjust your insulin ratios when your daily routine changes significantly
Why inflammation is one of the most underrated factors in insulin resistance
The difference between reading nutrition labels and reading ingredient lists — and why one matters far more
How dairy, processed protein shakes, and convenience foods can quietly inflame your system
Why what works nutritionally for one diabetic may be causing problems for another
Where to find diabetes camps across the US and Canada — and why Ken wants to start one

Your diabetes management is only as good as its ability to adapt. When your routine changes — whether it's camp, travel, or just a different week — your insulin needs change too. The goal isn't a perfect plan. It's a plan that can adapt.

It started with a deceptively simple question — do you burn more calories when it's hot outside?

The real truth is that sweating has nothing to do with calorie burn. Heart rate has everything to do with it. Graham and Ken discuss their thoughts about how aerobic and anaerobic exercise can help your blood sugar stability and insulin sensitivity. Which is better for your diabetes?

From there the episode goes wide. Ken walks through the five heart rate zones, explains why zone two aerobic training (cardio) is where fat burning actually happens, and makes the case for why building your aerobic capacity is the foundation of long-term physical health — especially with Type 1 diabetes. Graham challenges, questions, and pushes back in all the right ways, and the conversation gets more interesting with every exchange.

Then things get real. Moving from alcohol, addiction, and what it truly takes to change one's behavior. The conversation then moves into worldviews, personal responsibility, instant gratification, and why knowing what you should do and actually taking action are two entirely different things.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why sweating has nothing to do with calorie burn — and what actually does
How heat affects your heart rate and why it makes exercise harder than it looks
The five heart rate zones and what each one means for your blood sugar
Why zone two cardio is where fat burning happens and why it matters for diabetics
What your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds are and why they change everything about how you train
How alcohol hijacks your liver's ability to regulate blood sugar — and what to do about it
Why high intensity exercise drops blood sugar fast and how to manage it
Why knowing what you should do and actually doing it are two completely different challenges

Exercise is one of the most powerful tools a Type 1 diabetic has — but only if you understand what it's actually doing to your blood sugar. Knowing your heart rate zones isn't just fitness knowledge. For a diabetic, it's diabetes management.

It started with a simple question — does intermittent fasting live up to the hype?

Ken and Graham both have opinions. And as usual, those opinions don't fully line up.

Ken makes the case that the real benefits of intermittent fasting don't kick in until you hit that 16 to 18 hour window — and that for diabetics specifically, the morning hours are full of landmines that can derail a fast before it even gets started. Blood sugar drops during a morning workout, coffee, treating a low — any of these technically breaks the fast and changes the equation entirely.

Graham takes a different angle. He's not opposed to intermittent fasting in theory, but his relationship with food goes far deeper than timing windows and eating schedules. And that's where the conversation takes a turn nobody saw coming.

What starts as a nutrition debate evolves into one of the most honest conversations Ken and Graham have had about food, culture, identity, and how the way you were raised shapes everything about how you eat — including how you manage your blood sugar. Graham introduces a phrase that might just end up on a t-shirt — TFD for life — and explains what it means to live with a diabetes philosophy that was forged not just by medical advice, but by culture, family, and lived experience.

This one goes places. And it's better for it.

🔑 Key Takeaways

What intermittent fasting actually is — and when the real benefits start kicking in
Why the 16 to 18 hour fasting window matters more than most people realize
The specific challenges intermittent fasting creates for Type 1 diabetics
Why morning exercise and blood sugar management can derail a fast before it starts
How food culture and upbringing shape diabetes management in ways medicine doesn't account for
Why what works for one diabetic may never work for another — and why that's okay
Ken's honest take on GLP-1 medications and where they fit in a diabetes management strategy
Why looking in the mirror and being honest with yourself is the foundation of everything

What works for one person with diabetes may never work for another — and that's not failure, that's individuality. The goal isn't to follow someone else's plan. It's to understand your own body and how diabetes is going to fit into your life so you can take control of your LIFE.

It started as a straightforward question — what are three things you do consistently well as a diabetic, and three things you wish you did better?

Ken leads with pre-bolusing — the timing of insulin before meals — and makes the case that it is arguably the single most important habit in Type 1 Diabetes management outside of taking the correct amount of insulin.

What follows is over 50 minutes of two people who genuinely respect each other but see diabetes management, coaching philosophy, personal accountability, and what it means to THRIVE with this condition through completely different lenses. The conversation gets heated and their views clash like thunder across the diabetes community. They debate weight management and whether the number on the scale actually matters. They get into what real consistency looks like — and why it's far easier to talk about than to actually take action. They disagree on how hard truths should be delivered and whether compassion or directness is the more powerful tool.

Ken and Graham's different personalities, values, and philosophies collide like never before — raw, real, and unlike anything they've recorded before.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why pre-bolusing is arguably the most important habit in Type 1 diabetes management
How to pre-bolus strategically even when you don't know how much you're going to eat
Why consistency is easier said than done — and what it actually takes to build it
The debate over whether body weight is a meaningful metric for diabetics
How Ken's coaching mindset shapes every aspect of how he manages diabetes and life
Why Graham's competitive instinct drives his diabetes control in ways most people can't replicate
What sports taught both Ken and Graham about hard work, honesty, and resilience
Why you already know if you're not doing the things you should be doing

You know if you're not pre-bolusing. You know if you're not sleeping enough. You know if you're not exercising. You know if you're eating crap. You always know. And if you don't — that's your open invitation to start learning.

In today's episode, the conversation leads into something Ken feels deeply — the frustration of hearing people claim that Type 1 diabetes can be cured. As an autoimmune condition, Type 1 operates differently than Type 2, and the constant lumping together of both conditions by researchers, politicians, and the media creates real harm for people navigating the daily reality of living insulin dependent. Ken makes the case for why the principles of good health apply to everyone — but the mechanisms, and especially the medication piece, are not the same.

Then the episode shifts into one of the most practical conversations Ken and Graham have had — the real tradeoffs between wearing a CGM and going without one. Graham has chosen to step away from CGM and rely on finger sticks and MDI, and Ken respects that. But he also gets honest about what that choice means when it comes to getting meaningful support from your endocrinologist. Without continuous data, your doctor is working with a handful of snapshots. With it, they can see the full picture — and that changes everything about the quality of care you can receive.

🔑 Key Takeaways

What happened at the ADA conference and why researchers were removed
Why the claim that Type 1 diabetes can be cured is so triggering for the community
How the five pillars of health apply to everyone — diabetic or not
The key difference between Type 1 and Type 2 that gets overlooked constantly
Why CGM data changes what your doctor can actually do for you in a 15-minute appointment
The real tradeoffs of going CGM-free — and when it makes sense
How to advocate for yourself at a doctor's appointment without continuous data
Why Ken is launching a new series called Diabetes Confessions

Your doctor can only support you with the information you give them. The more data you bring to the table — whether from a CGM or careful self-monitoring — the better equipped they are to actually help you. Your care is only as good as your data.

Every person with Type 1 diabetes has a date that changed their life forever. Ken and Graham get into whether we should celebrate it, fear it, or somewhere in between — and what your answer says about your relationship with this condition.

It started with a simple question — do you know your diaversary?

For Ken it's sometime in late June. For Graham it's around February 15th, the same month his family company was founded and named after him. But beyond the dates themselves, the question opened up one of the most honest conversations Ken and Graham have had about what it actually means to live with Type 1 diabetes for decades.

Should we celebrate our diaversaries? Is it healthy to mark the day your life changed forever — or does it keep us tethered to a moment that's better left behind? Ken and Graham explore both sides of that coin and land somewhere that will resonate with anyone who has spent years navigating the emotional complexity of this condition.

From there the conversation moves into one of the biggest questions in the Type 1 community — will there ever be a cure? Ken shares his honest perspective on what focusing on a cure does to your mental state, why he chooses to live in the present rather than wait for a finish line that may or may not come, and why that mindset shift is one of the most powerful things a person with diabetes can make.

This one is equal parts honest, emotional, and grounding. It's exactly what the diabetes community needs to hear.

🔑 Key Takeaways

What a diaversary is and why so many people in the diabetes community mark it
Why your relationship with your diagnosis date says a lot about your mindset
How to approach the diaversary with positivity rather than grief or negativity
Why focusing on a diabetes cure can quietly fuel burnout and stall your life
The difference between advocating for a cure and waiting for one
Why celebrating small wins in diabetes management matters more than most people think
How positive reinforcement — from your endo, your community, or yourself — changes everything
Why giving yourself grace is one of the most underrated tools in diabetes management

You can advocate for a cure and still choose to live fully right now. Waiting for a finish line that isn't guaranteed is a fast road to burnout — but celebrating the small wins, your decisions, and the progress you've already made is a path to confidence.

Diabetes technology is evolving faster than most people realize — and Ken and Graham break down exactly what that means for your day-to-day management. Plus, Ken closes with something every person living with diabetes needs to hear right now.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why Type 2 diabetics have historically not been prescribed CGMs — and how that's changing
What the Dexcom Stelo and Abbott's new sensor mean for the broader diabetes population
Why the explosion of diabetes technology companies is a sign of a major industry shift
What a true closed loop system actually is — and why what we've been calling one isn't
What Omnipod, Tandem, and Medtronic are working on that will change Type 1 management
Key findings from the 2026 ADA Conference and why it was one of the biggest yet
Why giving yourself grace is one of the most important parts of diabetes management
How to reach out when diabetes feels isolating and overwhelming

This condition is hard enough without constantly being in your own head. Give yourself grace, lean on your community, and remember that progress — not perfection — is the goal.

Graham walked out of his endocrinologist appointment with two things nobody saw coming — a brand new insulin delivery patch and an Ozempic prescription. Ken had questions. A lot of them.

First up is the CEQUR Simplicity insulin patch — a band-aid sized device that holds up to 200 units of insulin and delivers two units per click. No app, no screen, no tubing. Just insulin on your body, ready when you need it. Ken and Graham break down who this actually makes sense for and how it fits into a real insulin management strategy.

Then comes the Ozempic conversation. Ken digs into what GLP-1 medications actually do biologically in Type 1 diabetes, why the way they're being marketed to the public is dangerously oversimplified, and why the reason you're taking it matters just as much as the medication itself.

And somewhere in between — BMI. Why Ken thinks it's one of the most misleading metrics in medicine, and what should actually be happening at the point of a diabetes diagnosis.

Two Type 1 diabetics. Nearly 50 years of lived experience. Zero sugarcoating.

🔑 Key Takeaways

What the CEQUR Simplicity insulin patch is and how it actually works
Who benefits most from a two-unit click-delivery insulin system
Why Graham's endocrinologist recommended Ozempic — and what that means for T1D
What GLP-1 medications actually do biologically versus how they're marketed
Why the dose and the reason behind taking Ozempic matters enormously
Why Ken believes BMI is one of the least useful metrics in medicine
The difference between a pre-diabetes diagnosis and a single elevated reading
Why every diabetes diagnosis should include a 7-14 day follow-up and a glucose monitor
How to think about new diabetes technology as the CEO of your own health

In this episode, Ken and Graham have an honest conversation about one of the biggest challenges of living with Type 1 diabetes:

The mental load of making thousands of decisions every single day.

Diabetes isn’t just insulin, food, and numbers. It’s constant troubleshooting, analyzing patterns, adjusting plans, and trying to figure out why something happened when diabetes doesn’t always follow the rules.

Graham shares the frustration of feeling like diabetes becomes an endless series of “projects”—testing different foods, analyzing patterns, and trying to understand why things work one day but not the next. That conversation leads into a deeper discussion about diabetes burnout and the exhaustion that comes from always trying to solve the next problem.

Ken explains his approach to reducing that mental burden through diabetes checklists—a framework he uses to help people stop reacting emotionally and start working through problems systematically.

Whether it’s a CGM that isn’t working correctly, an insulin pump issue, or unexpected blood sugar changes, the goal isn’t to eliminate every problem. The goal is to have a process that helps you make better decisions when those problems happen.

This episode is a reminder that confidence with diabetes doesn’t come from having perfect numbers—it comes from knowing how to respond when things don’t go according to plan.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why diabetes burnout often comes from decision fatigue
How constant troubleshooting impacts mental health
Why people with diabetes create “projects” to understand their bodies
How to build a checklist for common diabetes challenges
Why having a process can reduce stress and overwhelm
How to troubleshoot CGM and insulin pump problems more effectively
The difference between reacting to diabetes and managing diabetes
Why confidence comes from experience, systems, and self-trust

You cannot control every blood sugar outcome—but you can control how you respond. Creating systems, learning your patterns, and building confidence in your decisions can make diabetes feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

In this episode, Coach Ken sits down with Kelly Schmidt, diabetic dietitian and longtime Type 1 diabetes advocate, to have a deep conversation about one of the biggest topics in diabetes right now:

With medications like Ozempic and other GLP-1-based therapies becoming more common, there are a lot of questions:

Are these just weight-loss medications?
Can people with Type 1 diabetes benefit from them?
How do you use them safely?
What happens with food, muscle, digestion, and long-term health?

Kelly shares her personal experience using GLP-1 medications since 2017 and explains why these medications are about much more than weight loss. The conversation explores how GLP-1s impact appetite, digestion, hormones, inflammation, and blood sugar management.

Ken and Kelly also discuss the difference between single agonists and dual agonists, why the “strongest” medication is not always the best medication, and why having conversations with your healthcare team is critical when deciding what works for your individual needs.

The episode also dives into some of the biggest concerns people with Type 1 diabetes have:

Can GLP-1 medications worsen gastroparesis?
Do they cause bone loss?
How do you protect muscle while using these medications?
What role do protein and strength training play?

Kelly shares practical guardrails around using these medications, including the importance of adequate nutrition, resistance training, and building systems that support your health—not just chasing a number on the scale.

This episode is an honest conversation about a rapidly evolving area of diabetes care and how people with Type 1 diabetes can ask better questions, understand their options, and make informed decisions with their healthcare team.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why GLP-1 medications are about more than weight loss
How GLP-1 and dual agonist medications work differently
The importance of individualized medication decisions
Why insurance access has become such a major challenge
How food quality impacts results while using GLP-1 medications
Why protein and strength training are essential
How gastroparesis fits into the conversation
Why medication should support your health—not replace healthy habits
How to have better conversations with your healthcare team

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham tackle one of the most fascinating and controversial questions in the diabetes world:

What will happen first—a cure for Type 1 diabetes or a way to prevent it altogether?

The conversation begins with a discussion around continuous glucose monitors, the barriers to bringing new diabetes technology to market, and why FDA approval plays such a significant role in innovation and accessibility.

From there, Ken and Graham zoom out to examine diabetes on a global scale. They explore the challenges people with diabetes face in developing countries, the realities of insulin access, and whether advanced technology like CGMs should be prioritized when many people still struggle to obtain life-saving insulin.

The discussion then shifts into the future of Type 1 diabetes research, including Teplizumab (Tzield), immunotherapy, stem cell research, autoimmune triggers, and the ongoing debate between prevention and cure.

Along the way, Ken shares his perspective on the role that lifestyle factors—including stress, sleep, nutrition, exercise, and overall health—may play in autoimmune conditions, while Graham challenges the conversation by exploring whether vaccines, immunotherapy, or preventative treatments could eventually become the standard approach.

This episode is an honest discussion about innovation, skepticism, hope, and the future of diabetes care.

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham dive into one of the biggest disconnects in diabetes management: the difference between medical guidance and lived experience.

The conversation explores why so many people with diabetes feel stuck between short endocrinology appointments and the reality of managing blood sugars every single day. Ken breaks down why endocrinologists are an incredibly important part of the diabetes care team—but also why they should be viewed as a tool, not the entire answer.

Together, Ken and Graham unpack:

the limitations of 15–20 minute appointments
why doctors can’t fully understand your day-to-day diabetes decisions
how real confidence is built between appointments
and why people living with diabetes must eventually learn to trust themselves and their own lived experiences

The discussion also touches on information overload, the internet’s influence on health education, movement and insulin sensitivity, and why activities like golf, sports, and social connection can play a much larger role in overall health than people realize.

This episode is a powerful reminder that diabetes management doesn’t happen inside the doctor’s office—it happens in the real world, every single day.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why movement and sports improve more than just physical health
The connection between activity, bonding, challenge, and mental health
How golf unexpectedly relates to diabetes management
Why endocrinologists are an important tool—but not the whole solution
The limitations of short doctor appointments
Why lived experience matters in Type 1 diabetes
The danger of waiting for permission to make diabetes decisions
How confidence and experimentation build better diabetes awareness

In this episode, Ken and Graham dive into one of the most overlooked parts of living with diabetes: the stories, beliefs, and identity patterns we create over time.

What starts as a conversation about childhood experiences, sports, discipline, and self-worth evolves into a much deeper discussion about how people approach diabetes management—and why so many struggle with consistency, burnout, and decision-making.

Ken opens up about growing up without a strong male role model, feeling like he had to figure everything out alone, and how those experiences shaped the way he approached school, sports, and eventually diabetes. The conversation connects these personal experiences directly back to Type 1 diabetes and the reality that most people naturally gravitate toward what feels easiest, most enjoyable, or least mentally exhausting.

Ken and Graham also unpack:

why people avoid pre-bolusing even when they know it helps
the frustration with pumps and CGMs not being “perfect”
how people pick and choose where they spend mental energy
and why diabetes management has to fit into real life—not replace it

The episode finishes with a powerful hypothetical conversation:
What if Ken had been diagnosed with diabetes in high school instead of adulthood?

That leads into a raw and honest discussion around denial, immaturity, identity, athletics, mental health, and how different life experiences shape the way people respond to diabetes.

This episode is deeply personal, reflective, and relatable for anyone who has ever struggled to balance diabetes with actually wanting to live life.

🔑 Key Takeaways

How childhood experiences shape behavior and self-belief
Why people avoid diabetes tasks they know would help them
The psychology behind pre-bolusing and decision fatigue
Why technology helps—but still creates frustration
How diabetes competes with “real life” priorities
The connection between identity, maturity, and diabetes management
Why many people stay in denial after diagnosis
How the Five Pillars help simplify priorities and reduce overwhelm

In this episode, Ken and Graham dive into one of the biggest frustrations people living with Type 1 diabetes face: the gap between medical care and real-life diabetes management.

The conversation starts with a powerful discussion around endocrinologists, insulin safety, and why most healthcare providers are forced to prioritize preventing dangerous lows over helping patients aggressively optimize blood sugars. Ken explains how fear of hypoglycemia, liability, and limitations within the healthcare system shape the guidance many people receive.

From there, the episode evolves into a deep real-world conversation around:

insulin pumps and automation
dawn phenomenon
insulin resistance from stress
learning patterns and building “checklists”
trusting Dexcom trend arrows
and how to actually troubleshoot blood sugar problems in real time

Graham also shares a brutally honest look into the mental frustration of waking up high from dawn phenomenon despite doing “everything right,” leading to a conversation many people with diabetes quietly relate to but rarely talk about openly.

This episode blends education, emotional reality, and practical problem-solving into one of the most relatable diabetes conversations yet.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why endocrinologists often “play it safe” with insulin recommendations
The real fear behind hypoglycemia and aggressive dosing
How the healthcare system fails to support daily diabetes management
Why insulin pumps and CGMs help reduce mental burden

How stress and hormones impact insulin resistance
The importance of building personal “checklists” for troubleshooting blood sugars
How to properly interpret Dexcom trend arrows and rate-of-change data
Why diabetes management is about patterns—not perfection

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham break down one of the biggest challenges in diabetes management—and it has nothing to do with knowledge.

It’s trust.

Ken shares a powerful perspective on what it looks like to move from constantly “trying” to building a level of confidence where your decisions become more automatic. From insulin dosing to daily routines, this conversation highlights how many people already know what to do—but struggle to trust themselves even with the simple things.

They dive into real-life examples, including under-dosing insulin out of fear of lows, second-guessing decisions even when you know the answer, and relying too heavily on perfect outcomes instead of trusting the process.

Ken also shares his “at-bat” analogy—explaining how diabetes isn’t about hitting a home run every time, but about stepping up with confidence, making contact, and not fearing the result.

The episode closes with a deeper conversation around a major issue in the diabetes space:

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why trust is more important than knowledge in diabetes management
How fear of lows leads to under-dosing and poor decision-making
The difference between “trying” and building automatic habits
Why second-guessing yourself keeps you stuck
How to build confidence through repetition (“at-bats”)
The role of automation in reducing mental fatigue
Why perfect A1C doesn’t always mean a better quality of life

You already have the answers. The real challenge isn’t learning more—it’s learning how to trust your decisions and follow through with confidence.

With more people talking about medications like Ozempic and others, the question becomes:
Where do these actually fit for someone living with Type 1 diabetes?

Ken and Graham break down the hype, the potential benefits, and the limitations—especially from the perspective of someone who still relies on insulin daily.

They explore how GLP-1s impact appetite, digestion, insulin sensitivity, and blood sugar stability, while also addressing the bigger picture:
Are people focusing too much on medication instead of mastering the fundamentals?

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham unpack a common but frustrating experience for people living with diabetes—feeling like you just need to “try harder” to get better results.

They dive into why effort alone isn’t the solution, and how your mindset can actually lead to more frustration, burnout, and inconsistency over time.

This conversation highlights the difference between working harder vs. working smarter, and why many people feel stuck even when they’re putting in effort with their nutrition, insulin dosing, or routines.

Ken breaks down how progress in diabetes comes from awareness, strategy, and consistency, not just motivation or discipline.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything you can but still not seeing results, this episode will help you shift your perspective and focus on what actually moves the needle.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why “trying harder” often doesn’t lead to better results
The difference between effort and effective strategy
How burnout shows up in diabetes management
Why awareness is more powerful than motivation
How to simplify your approach to see better results
The role of consistency over intensity
How to build a system that actually supports your life

Progress in diabetes comes from building a system that works for you—not from pushing harder every time things don’t go as planned.

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham kick things off with a lifestyle update—including a new live show schedule—before diving into a powerful and honest conversation about diabetes management, fear, and long-term risk.

What starts as a light discussion around everyday challenges (yes… even pockets and carrying supplies) quickly evolves into a deeper conversation around diabetes complications, scare tactics, and the reality behind the numbers.

They unpack commonly misunderstood topics like amputation risk, long-term complications, and how statistics are often presented without context—especially when comparing type 1 and type 2 diabetes

More importantly, Ken shares a strong perspective on why fear-based messaging doesn’t work for most people—and what actually does: education, support, and real-life application.

This episode is a reminder that while risks exist, your daily decisions—and the support you surround yourself with—are what truly shape your future.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why diabetes scare tactics often do more harm than good
The truth behind amputation risk and diabetes statistics
The difference between type 1 and type 2 risk factors
How to think about long-term complications without fear
Why support and education matter more than short doctor visits
The role of lifestyle (exercise, nutrition, consistency) in reducing risk
How mindset impacts your ability to manage diabetes long-term

Fear doesn’t create long-term change—support and understanding do.

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham dive into a real, unfiltered conversation that blends everyday life with powerful updates in diabetes care.

From late-night home disasters to frustrating CGM issues, this episode starts off relatable—but quickly shifts into something much bigger: what’s changing in diabetes management and access to care in 2026.

They break down new updates from the American Diabetes Association, including recommendations around CGMs at diagnosis, reduced barriers to insulin pumps, and evolving treatment approaches.

More importantly, Ken shares a strong perspective on what truly matters—balancing education with real-life support, especially for those newly diagnosed or caregivers navigating the early stages of diabetes.

This episode is a reminder that while technology is improving, the real challenge is still learning how to apply it confidently in your everyday life.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why CGMs are now being recommended earlier in diagnosis
The truth about “requirements” for insulin pumps and technology
How diabetes care is evolving in 2026
The balance between learning the fundamentals vs. relying on technology

Do you feel like you’re constantly starting over with your diabetes?

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham unpack a frustrating pattern that so many people living with diabetes experience—the cycle of getting on track, falling off, and starting again.

Whether it’s nutrition, blood sugar control, or routines, this “reset” mentality can leave you feeling stuck, discouraged, and questioning your ability to manage your diabetes long-term.

Ken and Graham explore why this cycle happens and how it’s often rooted in all-or-nothing thinking, unrealistic expectations, and trying to do too much at once. They break down how small disruptions—like a high blood sugar, missed workout, or off-plan meal—can spiral into completely abandoning your routine.

More importantly, they offer a different approach: learning how to stay in the game, adjust in real time, and build consistency without needing to “start over.”

This episode is a powerful reminder that progress in diabetes isn’t about being perfect—it’s about staying consistent through the ups and downs.

The people who succeed in managing their diabetes long-term aren’t the ones who are perfect… they’re the ones who learn how to adjust and stay consistent no matter what.

Why the “starting over” cycle happens in diabetes
How all-or-nothing thinking sabotages progress
The impact of perfectionism on consistency
Why small setbacks don’t need a full reset
How to build flexible routines that work in real life
The importance of staying engaged, even when things aren’t perfect
How to create momentum through small, repeatable actions

"You don’t need to start over—you just need a new STRATEGY."

Why does managing diabetes feel so overwhelming—even when you’re doing your best?

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham break down one of the biggest challenges people living with diabetes face: complexity.

From constant decision-making to managing food, insulin, activity, and unexpected variables, diabetes can quickly feel like too much. But is it actually complicated… or are we just approaching it the wrong way?

Ken and Graham explore how overthinking, information overload, and trying to control everything at once can make diabetes harder than it needs to be. They discuss the importance of simplifying your approach, focusing on what actually matters, and building systems that are repeatable in real life.

This episode also dives into how confidence is built through action—not perfection—and why simplifying your decisions can lead to more consistent blood sugar outcomes.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why diabetes can feel overwhelming and difficult to manage
The difference between complexity and overcomplication
How information overload impacts decision-making
Why trying to control everything leads to frustration
The importance of simplifying your routines and habits
How to build confidence through consistent action
Why repetition creates better blood sugar outcomes

Diabetes doesn’t need to be perfect to be effective.

"When you simplify your approach and focus on consistent, repeatable actions, you create clarity, confidence, and better long-term outcomes."

What does “good” diabetes management actually look like?

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham dive into a real, unfiltered conversation around insulin sensitivity, travel routines, nutrition strategies, and one of the biggest debates in diabetes: is there a “right” way to manage it?

The episode kicks off with a relatable moment—overcorrecting low blood sugars—and quickly expands into a deeper discussion about how rapidly insulin sensitivity can change based on factors like movement, environment, and daily routine.

From there, Ken introduces the concept of the “42 factors that affect blood sugar,” reinforcing the idea that diabetes management is far more complex than just carbs and insulin.

The conversation then shifts into practical strategies for traveling with diabetes, including how to organize supplies, plan meals, and adjust expectations when routines change.

Later in the episode, Ken and Graham explore a powerful and sometimes controversial topic:

Should diabetes management be strict and rule-based?
Or should it allow flexibility and real-life balance?

They debate low-carb vs flexible nutrition, the role of mental health, and why sustainability—not perfection—is the key to long-term success.

The episode closes with a deeper look at metrics like A1C, time in range, and average blood sugar, challenging the idea that these numbers alone define success.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why insulin sensitivity can change rapidly—even without obvious lifestyle changes
The impact of travel, routine, and environment on blood sugars
The “42 factors” that influence diabetes management
How to prepare for travel with diabetes (supplies, food, planning)
Why having a personal target blood sugar matters more than broad ranges
How mental health impacts long-term diabetes success

There is no single “perfect” way to manage diabetes.

Why does diabetes sometimes feel like you’re doing everything right… but nothing is changing?

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham break down one of the most frustrating experiences for people living with diabetes: feeling stuck.

Whether it’s blood sugars that won’t improve, routines that fall apart, or the constant cycle of starting over, this episode explores why so many people struggle to create consistency—and what actually helps you move forward.

Ken and Graham dive into the gap between knowledge and action, explaining why understanding what to do is only one part of the equation. The real challenge is building the confidence, structure, and consistency to apply that knowledge in real life.

They also explore the mental and emotional side of diabetes management, including how overwhelm, perfectionism, and fear can keep people from taking action.

This episode is a reminder that progress in diabetes doesn’t come from doing everything perfectly—it comes from taking consistent, intentional action over time.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why people feel stuck in their diabetes management
The difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it
How perfectionism can hold you back
Why consistency matters more than intensity
How to build confidence through action
The role of mindset in creating long-term progress
Why small wins lead to bigger results

You don’t need a completely new plan—you need a system you can actually follow.

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham dive into a wide-ranging conversation about diabetes management, inhalable insulin, and the importance of taking ownership of your care.

Ken shares his experience getting Afrezza (inhalable insulin) approved again through insurance and how it’s dramatically improving his blood sugar stability. The discussion explores how Afrezza works differently from traditional rapid-acting insulin and why some people living with diabetes use it as a powerful tool for correcting highs quickly.

The conversation also moves into several old-school diabetes practices—from the 15-15 rule for treating lows to how people managed blood sugars before CGMs existed. Ken and Graham reflect on how diabetes care has evolved and why experimentation and personal data play such an important role in finding what works.

Later in the episode, they discuss the real financial burden of living with diabetes, breaking down how medical costs, supplies, insurance deductibles, and daily management tools add up each year.

Ken also shares why advocating for yourself during endocrinologist appointments is critical. Rather than relying solely on your doctor to solve problems, the most successful patients come prepared with questions, trends, and data that help guide productive conversations - and take ownership of their own care.

🔑 Key Takeaways

What Afrezza inhalable insulin is and how it works
Why Afrezza can help correct high blood sugars faster than traditional insulin
The pros and cons of using Afrezza with MDI or other insulin strategies
The classic 15-15 rule for treating low blood sugar and how to adapt it
How T1D management worked before CGMs existed
The real cost of living with diabetes each year
Why advocating for yourself at doctor appointments is essential
How preparation and data can improve your endocrinology visits
Why diabetes management requires experimentation and personalization

"There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Our job is to figure out what works for us and build a system that keeps our blood sugars stable.”

Does having Type 1 diabetes shorten your life?

In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham dive into a topic that many people living with diabetes have quietly Googled at some point: life expectancy with Type 1 diabetes.

After uncovering statistics suggesting that people with Type 1 diabetes may lose 10–13 years off their life, the conversation quickly evolves into a deeper discussion about what those numbers really mean — and whether they actually define your future.

Ken challenges the idea that a statistic determines someone’s destiny and explains why blood sugar stability, overall health habits, and mindset may play a far bigger role than any headline statistic.

The conversation also explores Ken’s Five Pillars framework for diabetes success, which focuses on the key areas that influence long-term health and blood sugar stability.

This episode is a reminder that while statistics may provide context, they do not determine your outcome. What you do day-to-day — your habits, decisions, and mindset — plays a far greater role in shaping your health and your life.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Type 1 diabetes life expectancy statistics
Blood sugar stability vs. time in range
Why lifestyle habits impact diabetes outcomes
The Five Pillars of diabetes success
The role of mindset in diabetes management

In Episode 332 of The Healthy Diabetic Podcast, Coach Ken is joined by Graham for another live, unscripted conversation that blends fitness, diabetes management, and real-world decision making.

This episode starts with a surprisingly deep unscripted discussion on exercise selection, and why most people overcomplicate exercise—especially when living with diabetes. From there, the conversation expands into consistency vs optimization, habit-building, insulin sensitivity, and how any form of intentional movement can support blood sugar regulation.

The second half of the episode dives into the future of diabetes technology, including closed-loop systems, implantable pumps, glucagon integration, and how innovation is reshaping what “hands-off” diabetes management could look like. The episode wraps with a thoughtful debate on AI in diabetes, research, education, and why human connection will always matter more than automation.

This will challenge how you think about fitness, technology, and progress with diabetes.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why “just moving” is more important than perfect workouts
How consistency beats optimization for blood sugar control
Legs vs upper body: what actually matters for diabetes
Exercise, insulin sensitivity, and adaptation over time
What closed-loop systems really mean (and what they don’t)
Implantable pumps and the future of diabetes tech
The role of AI in diabetes education and decision-making
Why human connection can’t be replaced by technology

In Episode 331 of The Healthy Diabetic Podcast, Coach Ken is joined by Graham Hubbard for Episode 003 of the live show, where they dive into how people with diabetes actually make decisions—and why some of the most common metrics may be missing the bigger picture.

The conversation covers Time in Range vs A1C, redefining what a personal blood sugar “target” really means, and why stability and variability matter more than chasing perfect numbers. Ken also shares real-world insights on Afrezza, insurance challenges, CGM access, early screening for Type 1 diabetes, and the pros and cons of modern intervention strategies.

This episode is raw, honest, and full of practical perspective—exactly what this new live format is designed to deliver.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why Time in Range alone doesn’t tell the full story
The difference between target range and personal target
How defining a single blood sugar target improves stability
Why variability matters as much as averages
Pros and limitations of Afrezza in real life
Insurance barriers and access to diabetes technology
Early screening for Type 1 diabetes: benefits and concerns
How lifestyle, food quality, and stress shape outcomes

In this milestone episode of The Healthy Diabetic Podcast, I'm joined by longtime friend and former co-host Graham Hubbard for Episode 330—and the first-ever live episode of the show.

Graham and I dive into a wide-ranging, honest conversation about whether modern diabetes technology has truly made life easier for people with Type 1 diabetes—or if something important has been lost along the way.

They explore topics including insulin sensitivity, fear of lows, CGMs, fitness, food quality, GLP-1 medications, obesity trends in Type 1 diabetes, and the emotional weight of living with a misunderstood condition. The episode also introduces the new live format, with weekly discussions happening in real time and continuing on YouTube.

This episode sets the tone for what’s coming next: deeper conversations, more nuance, and a stronger focus on the real-life factors that impact diabetes beyond numbers and devices.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Diabetes technology has improved—but management isn’t automatically easier
Fear of lows can limit insulin decisions and quality of life
Insulin sensitivity varies dramatically from person to person
Fitness, sleep, and food quality still matter—maybe more than ever
GLP-1 medications can be helpful, but context matters
Type 1 diabetes is not insulin resistance—and shouldn’t be treated as such
Mental health and self-trust are foundational to good diabetes management

In this episode of The Healthy Diabetic Podcast, I sit down with Rachel Faber MS, RD, LDN, CDCES and Nicole Cordoba RN, CDCES, known online as CDE Diabuddies, to explore what diabetes care looks like when providers are also patients—and why pediatric diabetes care often feels worlds apart from adult care.

Rachel and Nicole share their personal diagnosis stories—one diagnosed at age 4, the other at 17—and how those experiences shaped their paths into healthcare as Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES). Together, they walk through what pediatric diabetes education which actually includes: multi-day hospital education, family involvement, hands-on insulin training, mental health screening, and structured follow-ups.

The conversation dives deep into the systemic gaps that appear when patients transition into adult care, including shorter visits, less education, fewer resources, and limited emotional support. Ken and the guests discuss misdiagnosis, insurance barriers, Dexcom-induced anxiety, parental dynamics, and why flexibility—not rigidity—is key to long-term diabetes success.

🔑 Key Takeaways from This Episode

Why pediatric diabetes care includes more education and support
How early diagnosis shapes confidence and self-trust
The emotional toll of transitioning from pediatric to adult care
Why adult diabetes education is often limited or missing
How flexibility improves long-term diabetes outcomes
The role parents play in shaping a child’s relationship with diabetes
Why mental health support is just as important as insulin dosing
How community, podcasts, and social media fill care gaps
What a better adult diabetes care model could look like

In today's episode, I sit down with Danielle, who shares a powerful and vulnerable story about how false low readings from her CGM led to extreme anxiety, an ER visit, and a complete shift in how she now approaches diabetes management.

Danielle walks us through a terrifying day where her CGM repeatedly showed dangerously low glucose readings—despite her body showing no symptoms and fingerstick checks telling a different story. The constant alarms, conflicting data, and uncertainty triggered intense anxiety and ultimately landed her in the hospital, where she was treated as if she were hypoglycemic even though lab results showed otherwise.

🔑 Key Takeaways from This Episode

CGMs are helpful tools—but they are not perfect
False low readings can trigger real fear and anxiety
Fingerstick checks are still the gold standard in critical moments
Treating numbers without symptoms can lead to overcorrection
Diabetes technology can contribute to emotional burnout
Taking a break from devices is sometimes necessary and healthy
Your body’s signals matter just as much as the data
Anxiety and diabetes are deeply connected—and often overlooked

🧠 Topics We Cover

CGM inaccuracies and false lows
Abbott Libre sensor issues and recalls
Interstitial glucose vs. fingerstick readings
ER protocols for hypoglycemia
Diabetes-related anxiety and panic
PTSD after severe diabetes events
Technology burnout
Trusting physical symptoms
Taking breaks from CGMs
Long-term diabetes self-awareness

In today's episode, I sit down with Sara Lerner, Director of Community Engagement at Blue Circle Health, to talk about what it really takes to live well with Type 1 Diabetes—and why the current healthcare system often falls short.

Sara shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) as an adult at age 25, including the fear, missteps, and challenges that come with adult-onset diagnosis. Drawing from both her lived experience and her professional background as a social worker, Sara explains how access, education, mental health support, insurance navigation, and community all play critical roles in diabetes success.

The conversation dives deep into why so many adults are misdiagnosed, why “compliance” is the wrong word in diabetes care, and how Blue Circle Health was created to close the massive gaps between what people with T1D need and what they can actually access.

If you’ve ever felt unheard, unsupported, overwhelmed by insurance, or unsure where to turn for help with diabetes—this episode is for you.

🔑 Key Takeaways from This Episode

Why adults are frequently misdiagnosed with Type 1 diabetes
The emotional and mental health toll of living with T1D
Why “compliance” is an outdated and harmful term in diabetes care
How access to education and support directly impacts outcomes
The role community plays in day-to-day diabetes management
Why primary care alone often isn’t enough for T1D
How Blue Circle Health helps bridge gaps in diabetes care
Why empowerment and advocacy are essential skills for people with diabetes

In today’s episode, I sit down with Ty Gibson, who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in the 1970s—long before CGMs, insulin pumps, or modern tools existed.

Ty shares an incredibly powerful and honest story that spans decades of living with diabetes, including:

This episode goes far beyond diabetes management. It’s a conversation about resilience, mindset, choice, mental fortitude, and what’s possible on the other side of adversity. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, scared of complications, or unsure whether you can truly live a full life with diabetes—this episode is for you.

🔑 Key Takeaways from This Episode

What managing diabetes looked like before modern technology
Why perspective matters when we talk about complications
The reality of kidney and pancreas transplants—and what people don’t talk about
How mental resilience plays a bigger role than perfection
Why technology is a tool—not a permission slip for unhealthy habits
The importance of ownership, choice, and personal responsibility
How adversity can become purpose when you’re willing to share your story
Why thriving with diabetes starts in your mindset, not your devices

In this today's episode, I sit down with Aurelian, CEO and co-founder of SNAQ, a mobile app designed to make meals less guesswork for people living with Type 1 diabetes.

SNAQ was born out of lived experience. Aurelian’s wife was diagnosed with T1D over a decade ago, and like many people with diabetes, she constantly faced the same daily questions:

How many carbs are in this meal?
How heavy is this portion?
How will this food affect my blood sugar later?

From that frustration came the idea behind SNAQ — an app that allows users to take a photo of their food, estimate carbs and macronutrients, and connect meals directly to CGM, insulin, and activity data to uncover real-world patterns.

🔑 Key Takeaways Carb counting and portion estimation are major pain points for people with T1D. * Taking photos of food can provide a practical starting point — not perfection. * AI works best when paired with human awareness and lived experience. * Logging some* meals can still provide valuable insights — it doesn’t have to be every meal. * Connecting meals with CGM and insulin data reveals patterns that numbers alone miss. * Technology should reduce overwhelm, not create it. * Expectation management is essential with any AI-based health tool. * The future of diabetes care likely blends AI support with human connection.

In this powerful and deeply human episode, I sit down with Jillian, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just 7 years old in 1991 — growing up in what many now call the dark ages of diabetes care.

Jillian’s story is layered, emotional, and incredibly insightful. Raised by a mother who also lived with Type 1 diabetes, she navigated childhood, adolescence, eating disorders, evolving technology, and eventually three healthy pregnancies— all while learning what actually works for her body through Dr Richard K. Bernstein's teachings.

🔑 Key Takeaways Growing up with T1D shapes your relationship with food, control, and self-trust. * “Eat whatever you want and dose for it” is incomplete advice for many people. * Protein and fat do impact blood sugars — often hours later. * Low-carb works well for some people, but restriction is a fast path to burnout. * Diabetes management must feel livable*, not punishing. * Pregnancy with Type 1 diabetes is absolutely possible — even multiple times. * Hormones (puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum) dramatically affect insulin needs. * Algorithms and automation can help — but they’re tools, not solutions.

📌 Resources & Topics Mentioned in This Episode Low-carb & high-protein nutrition strategies * Protein and fat delayed glucose spikes * Extended boluses & pump features * CGM accuracy & algorithm limitations * Dr. Richard K. Bernstein & The Law of Small Numbers* * Pregnancy & insulin resistance * Breastfeeding and blood sugar variability * Diabetic retinopathy treatments * Self-advocacy in medical settings * Diabetes stigma around motherhood

In this solo episode I dive into one of the most important — and most misunderstood — concepts in diabetes management: SUSTAINABILITY.

After reflecting on my own recent challenges with blood sugar fluctuations, stress, sleep, nutrition, and routine, I break down why even people who “know what they’re doing” can fall out of alignment — and why that’s not failure, it’s reality.

This episode challenges the obsession with A1C and Time in Range as the main metrics of success and instead how reframing the conversation around blood sugar stability, mental health, flexibility, leads to longer diabetes stability.

🔑 Key Takeaways Sustainability matters more than perfection in diabetes management. * A “good” A1C or Time in Range doesn’t automatically mean your diabetes is going well. * Blood sugar stability is a better long-term goal than chasing numbers. * You need a specific target blood sugar, not just a target range. * Most blood sugar issues start with basal insulin, not food. * Restrictive eating and over-exercising may work short-term but often fail long-term. * Mental health, nutrition quality, sleep, movement, and dosing strategy all work together. * Burnout often comes from rigidity, fear, and unrealistic expectations. * The Five Pillars provide a simple framework to troubleshoot any* diabetes issue. * You’re allowed to experiment, adjust, and change your approach over time.

🧩 The Five Pillars of Diabetes Success (Referenced Throughout)1. Mental Health 2. Strategic Dosing 3. Consistency & Routine 4. Nutrition Quality 5. Physical Well-Being (Sleep, Hydration, Movement)

Every diabetes challenge fits into one (or more) of these pillars.

In today's episode, I sit down with Ashley Sparks, who was diagnosed with T1D at just 14 years old—during the first days of her freshman year of high school. What should have been a straightforward diagnosis quickly turned into a traumatic experience when doctors dismissed her symptoms and wrongly accused her of being pregnant instead of running basic diagnostic tests.

Ashley shares her powerful journey from misdiagnosis and dismissal to becoming a confident self-advocate in her diabetes care. She opens up about navigating high school as the only student with T1D, being denied basic accommodations, and learning—often the hard way—how to speak up for herself in medical settings.

🔑 Key Takeaways* Misdiagnosis and dismissal—especially for young women with diabetes—still happen far too often. * You are allowed to question doctors, change providers, and advocate for yourself. * Living with diabetes every day gives you insight no textbook can teach. * Insurance barriers can directly impact health outcomes and emotional well-being. * Movement, routine, and mental health support can dramatically improve diabetes stability. * There is no “perfect diabetic”—and chasing perfection often leads to burnout. * Eat the cookie. Bolus for it. Live your life. * Community connection can be one of the most powerful tools for mental health with T1D.

In this episode, I sat down with Carrie Neher, who has been living with Type 1 diabetes since 1981 — long before CGMs, pumps, carb ratios, or even finger-stick meters were available. Diagnosed at 14 and hospitalized for two weeks, Carrie learned to manage diabetes in what she calls “the dark ages.”

She shares what it was really like growing up using urine testing tablets, one daily shot of mixed insulin, and zero real-time glucose feedback — and the emotional weight that came with high A1Cs despite doing everything “right.

🔑 Key Takeaways Diabetes management before CGMs and meters required intuition, resilience, and guesswork. * Shame and confusion were common because the tools simply didn’t exist to understand blood sugar. * Exercise dramatically improves circulation, insulin sensitivity, and long-term health. * Fear of lows is often rooted in one traumatic low event — and can be reframed with a plan. * Gradually lowering your comfort range (ex: 150 → 130 → 110) is a powerful way to rebuild trust. * Modern T1Ds often underestimate how life-changing today’s tools truly are. * Community, encouragement, and support matter just as much as insulin and devices. * “Bloom where you are planted.”* Your circumstances don’t define your potential.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Adriana Wright, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just four years old and has now lived with T1D for nearly 35 years. Her story begins in the early 1990s — the “dark ages” of diabetes care — when blood sugar testing required giant blood drops, no CGMs existed, and kids with T1D often felt isolated, limited, or misunderstood.

Adriana shares what it was like to grow up with diabetes before modern tools existed, how her family adapted overnight, and how resilience became the thread that carried her through childhood, adolescence, motherhood, and adulthood.

🔑 Key Takeaways* Diabetes management has evolved dramatically — but the emotional challenges remain real. * Kids diagnosed young often internalize “limitations” they never chose. * Asking for help is difficult for many people with T1D — even when support is readily available. * Resilience is built through decades of adapting, learning, self-advocating, and experimenting. * High blood sugars are often harder to treat than lows — influencing personal fear patterns. * Afrezza works differently for everyone, and real-world lived experience matters just as much as clinical instruction. * Doctors are tools — not the sole source of wisdom. Real diabetes learning happens through lived experience and community. * You are allowed to redefine your care team, your tools, and your approach.

In today's episode, I break down one of the biggest debates in Type 1 diabetes: Insulin Pump vs. MDI. But instead of comparing the features, tech, and tools — I flip the discussion completely. Because it’s not really about which method is better — it's about which one supports your personality, your lifestyle, your mental bandwidth, your confidence, and your understanding of insulin.

I explore why some people thrive on a pump and others feel more confident with injections, why technology can sometimes increase mental load instead of reducing it, and most importantly: why no device can fix diabetes without strategy, awareness, and ownership.

This episode is an empowering, reflective coaching-style breakdown that will help you make a decision based not just on tech — but on who you are.

🔑 Key Takeaways Why choosing between MDI and pump has more to do with self-awareness than features. * Technology does not reduce decision-making — it only changes it. * Pumps don’t give you control — you create control with understanding, not devices. * Why starting on MDI often builds stronger decision-making skills. * When pump switching is motivated by FOMO, burnout, or false expectations. * Why doctors talk about technology, but don’t teach you mindset, ownership, or insulin strategy. * The most important question to ask:
👉 Does this tool support my confidence — or steal it? * You can make either method work — if you understand your insulin, mindset, habits, and needs*.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

In this episode, I break down one of the most overlooked emotional challenges in T1D: the progression toward burnout. Using a clear, step-by-step hierarchy, I explain how confusion, overwhelm, fear, and distrust build on each other — and can ultimately lead to burnout and depression.

You’ll learn how to recognize where you are on this ladder, why each stage happens, and what you can do right now to pull yourself out and regain stability, confidence, and control in your diabetes management.

🔑 Key Takeaways* Burnout doesn’t just “happen”; it follows a predictable emotional sequence. * Confusion is the first sign — but fear and distrust are the danger zones. * Most people stay stuck because they try to figure it out alone. * You only ever have two choices: take action or stay where you are. * Taking action — even small action — is what moves you out of burnout. * You deserve support, and you don’t have to navigate burnout on your own.

✔ The 5-stage hierarchy that leads to diabetes burnout:

Confusion — Why am I at 200+? Why isn’t insulin working?
Overwhelm — Too many decisions, too much data, too much uncertainty.
Fear — Fear of lows, fear of taking insulin, fear of decisions.
Distrust — Losing faith in your ability to manage diabetes.
Burnout — The point where you shut down, give up, or disconnect.

✔ What support actually looks like

Not just “your doctor,” but:
• Coaching
• Community
• Podcasts
• Events
• T1D peers
• Curiosity & self-reflection
• Asking better questions

✔ The reflection question that can shift everything

“Where is this emotion coming from — and why is it happening?”

In today's episode, I breakdown the fiveessentiallessons that every person living with Type 1 diabetes must master — lessons you won’t learn in your doctor’s office.

Drawing from nearly two decades of personal experience, thousands of conversations, and the evolution of my signature Five Pillars of Diabetes Success, I explain how mental health, strategic dosing, consistency, nutrition, and physical well-being all play a critical role in achieving the only metric that truly matters: blood sugar stability.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure how to make decisions between doctor visits, or stuck in the cycle of highs, lows, and frustration — this episode will change the way you understand your diabetes forever.

🔑 Key Takeaways The 5 Pillars of Diabetes Success and how they work together * Why mental health is the foundation of blood sugar stability * How to identify insulin sensitivity vs. resistance — and adjust safely * Why consistency and routine reduce overwhelm and improve stability * The “nutrition continuum” and how food quality affects insulin needs * The 4 exercise quadrants and how they influence your blood sugar * Why relying solely on your medical team keeps you stuck * What real diabetes freedom* looks like: experimentation, strategy, and ownership

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

In this episode, I sit down once again with returning guest and college athlete Jaci Carpenter for an honest conversation about the realities of navigating diabetes care as a young adult. From frustrating endocrinology visits and inflated medical costs to learning how to advocate for yourself and manage nutrition beyond “just taking insulin for what you eat,” this episode shines a light on what so many people with diabetes face every day.

Our Deep Dive Includes:

Why Jaci’s recent endocrinology experience left her classified as a “high-risk diabetic” — and what that really means
How the healthcare and insurance systems often fail those who are doing everything right
The emotional and financial weight of affording insulin, CGMs, and pump supplies
Learning to question outdated medical advice and advocate for your own care
The difference between textbook diabetes management and real-life diabetes management as an athlete
Why nutrition is more than carb counting — and how to make food choices that support long-term health and stability
Finding balance between discipline, mental health, and living your life freely with diabetes

💡 Key Takeaways:

You have the right to question your doctors and find a provider who listens.
Managing diabetes goes far beyond insulin and carbs — it’s about awareness, flexibility, and sustainability.
Don’t let diabetes dictate your dreams or limit your career choices.
Positivity isn’t about ignoring the hard days; it’s about finding control in what you can manage.
“Everything in moderation” applies to both food and mindset.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

In this solo episode,I dive deep into one of the most debated topics in diabetes care: A1C versus Time in Range—and why both still fall short without focusing on what I call DiabetesStability.

I shares my perspective on why A1C alone doesn’t tell the whole story, how time in range can (and should) be customized to your needs, and why identifying your personal target number instead of target range matters more than just hitting Time In Range. Most importantly, I explain how living in alignment with the Five Pillars of Diabetes Success—mental health, strategic dosing, consistency & routines, nutrition, and physical well-being—creates long-term stability and reduces the burden of diabetes burnout.

This episode is packed with practical insights and encouragement for anyone striving to feel more confident and in control of their diabetes.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Why A1C alone doesn’t reflect the realities of life with T1D.
The benefits—and limits—of using time in range as your primary metric.
How to define your personal target range and target number.
The importance of avoiding perfectionism and preventing burnout.
How the Five Pillars of Diabetes Success create true stability.
Why your belief in your own capacity matters more than anyone else’s opinion.

Exercise is one of the most powerful tools we have for managing blood sugar—but it can also be one of the most frustrating. In this solo episode, Coach Ken continues the 42 Factors That Affect Blood Sugar series with Part 4: Fitness & Activity.

In today's episode, I break down the different types of exercise that impact blood sugars, why insulin on board is often the hidden culprit there are actually four key “buckets” of fitness every person with diabetes should understand: strength training, low intensity, high intensity, and rest/recovery.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, this episode will help you approach exercise with confidence, avoid unnecessary highs and lows, and use movement to boost insulin sensitivity and overall health.

Bright Spots & Landmines: The Diabetes Guide I Wish Someone Had Handed Me

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

In today's episode, I sit down with Jeffery Miglicco (CEO), Omar Almidani and (Co-Founder), and from PureWay, a company leading the charge in safe sharps disposal and recycling solutions.

Together, we explore:

Why proper disposal of syringes, pens, and lancets is critical for safety and public health.
How PureWay is creating accessible and affordable sharps disposal systems
Recycling technology that keeps millions of pounds of plastic out of landfills.
The future of waste management to consumers.

This episode is eye-opening for anyone who injects insulin, uses lancets, needles or other sharps type products. It shows us how small changes can make a huge impact on safety, sustainability, and community health.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Awareness is the first step: most people don’t realize that throwing capped needles in the trash can cause safety risks and environmental harm.
Safe disposal options exist: from detergent bottles to PureWay’s mail-back sharps containers, there’s always a better choice.
Recycling is possible: PureWay has pioneered processes to safely recycle millions of pounds of medical plastics.
Affordability & convenience matter: most consumers only need 1–2 containers per year, and many manufacturers even subsidize programs.
The future is connected: sharps containers may one day link to apps or support systems, improving medication adherence and safety.

👥 About Today’s Guests

PureWay is a healthcare solutions company focused on safe sharps disposal, recycling, and patient awareness.

Jeffery Miglicco – CEO of PureWay
Omar Almidani – Co-Founder, with a background in healthcare and engineering

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with twin sisters Lisa and Lindsay Rusch, both living with type 1 diabetes, alongside their older brother who also has T1D. Beyond their personal diabetes journeys, the sisters are co-owners of Brekkie Shack, a health-focused restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. This episode is packed with wisdom, entrepreneurial spirit, and practical tips for anyone managing diabetes—or supporting someone who is.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Different ages, different challenges: Lisa was diagnosed at 12, while Lindsay was diagnosed as an adult. Their perspectives on adjusting to T1D are unique yet complementary.
Food as both fuel and joy: Their restaurant Brekkie Shack is proof that dining out can be both healthy and blood sugar–friendly.
Endocrinologist alignment matters: Finding the right fit can make or break your confidence in diabetes care.
Community changes everything: JDRF events, local connections, and podcasts like this one remind us we’re never alone.
Balance over perfection: Exercise timing, macronutrient choices, and tech tools like CGMs all play a role—but what matters most is finding what works for you.

Cecily Lopez is a wellness advocate, visual storyteller, and the founder of Trinity Grace Photography, LLC.

What does it take to climb some of the world’s tallest peaks while managing Type 1 diabetes? In this episode, I sit down with mountaineer and T1D veteran Luis Freitas, who has lived with diabetes since the age of two. Luis shares the highs, lows, and lessons from 28 years of managing diabetes—including his solo attempt to summit the tallest mountain in South America. We explore the mental toughness needed to thrive with diabetes, the truth about A1C obsession, and why defining your own version of health is key to long-term success.

Key Takeaways

Acceptance is a superpower — Why embracing both the condition and inevitable setbacks can transform your mindset.
Your health, your rules — How Luis defines acceptable blood sugars for high-altitude climbs without sacrificing safety.
The limits of A1C — Why chasing a perfect number can damage your mental health and how to focus on what truly matters.
Bullying, community, and identity — How early experiences shaped Luis’s relationship with diabetes and why community is essential.
Do hard things — How pushing beyond your comfort zone builds resilience, both on the mountain and in daily life with T1D.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

In today's episode, I sit down with Jenn Taylor. Jenn was diagnosed in 1986 at the age of 10. We discussed the Dark Ages (pre-technology) and her struggles with managing Diabetes during that era. This is important because it shows us how far we've come as a community. We also talk about how she's been able to take a very challenging childhood living with Diabetes and become a champion for health and live her best life.

You may have heard of Adam Brown’s popular article from Diatribe, “42 Factors That Affect Blood Glucose”—a game-changing guide for anyone living with diabetes. But how do those 42 factors actually show up in real life? And are there other variables we should be paying attention to?

In this episode, I dive into Adam Brown’s list and compare it to the 42 factors I’ve personally identified through years of living with Type 1 Diabetes and coaching others. We’ll explore the overlaps, the differences, and the surprising variables that often get overlooked. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or a seasoned pro, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on just how many things can influence blood sugar—and how you can stay ahead of them.

In today's episode, I sit down with Caitlyn Malcomson. Caitlyn is a 23-year-old T1D juggling life as a court coordinator, media marketing director for a nonprofit, and, most importantly, a single Mom. Caitlyn was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 9. When she’s not handling court schedules or crafting creative content, she’s laughing with friends, making memories with her daughter, and working toward her 2025 goals: getting fit, eating cleaner, and keeping her A1C in check.

In today's episode, I sit down with Ali Dugger. Ali is a T1D who was diagnosed at 18. She came from a family that had to learn about Diabetes earlier, as her brother is also Type 1. The cool thing about Ali's story is that her mom knew that no one would educate them, so she took it upon herself to go back to school, get her master's, and become a Diabetes Educator. But that didn't entirely help Ali as she rebelled against Diabetes at the early stages of her journey. So later on in life, she experienced Diabetes complications. This story is powerful because, despite her complications, she now lives a great life and has a positive outlook for the rest of her life. You might not be able to say this about many others who have experienced complications like she did.

In our conversation, we talked about her diagnosis story and how she was able to overcome many challenges in her youth. One of the most impactful things for me in this conversation is how she was able to take over her diabetes management at a young age, empowering herself to take over most decisions and learn what is going to work.

In today's episode, I sit down with Jon Cellier. Born in France, Jon moved to the UK 15 years ago. For 29 years, he lived without considering what he ate or drank and how it would impact his daily life. Then, in 2015, he was hit with an unknown condition to him, Type 1 Diabetes LADA. From day one, he told myself: "You cannot change it, so embrace it." From there, he decided to pursue the things he wanted to do and live life without restrictions. Marathon and Ultra Marathon swimming (10K+) became his passion. Jon and I talk in-depth about his time in the water and how he manages this complex condition during such a long and gruesome race. This is another example of how Diabetes should never get in your way of living your best life!

We discuss his early years with Diabetes, focusing on the restrictions he felt regarding his food intake and insulin management. Additionally, we talk about his passion for scuba diving and being in the water. This conversation exemplifies that nothing can hold you back if you put your mind to something you want to achieve.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

In today's episode, I sit down with Amanda Mueller. Amanda is a Type 1 Diabetic (T1D), a financial consultant, and a fitness coach. She was diagnosed as a young adult and faced a challenging journey, having been in severe Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) that resulted in her being hospitalized in the ICU. At the start of our conversation, Amanda expressed how grateful she is to be alive.

We also discussed the common fears many of us experience upon diagnosis. Both of us have dealt with significant fear and frustration, and we explored how we managed to overcome these feelings. If you're struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, frustration, isolation, or depression, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, I sit down with Leontine, a T1D of 30 years from the Netherlands. Leontine's diagnosis is another example of a broken system and how we aren't being seen, heard, or listened too. We discussed her Diabetes challenges, being diagnosed at 20 years old and starting her modeling career, and how she was able to overcome the obstacles in her life. For all of you ladies, we also talked about her symptoms and challenges going through menopause and the lack of support and fundamental understanding there is out there.

You aren't non-compliant; you simply need guidance, education, and real-time support. Have you ever felt inadequate in managing your Diabetes? Have Diabetes that you're not smart enough or that you're not making the right decisions? Or that you're not paying enough attention? Yes, Diabetes is complex, but without the right support to help you navigate daily challenges, in my opinion, you're being set up to fail.

In this episode, I discuss why you might not be receiving the support you need and where to find the guidance you need. It's not your fault.

In today's episode, I sit down with sisters Caroline and Charlotte, both living with Type 1 diabetes. We discuss the challenges they faced after being diagnosed at different stages of life and how having each other to share ideas made managing their Diabetes significantly easier. Each sister has a distinct approach to managing her condition: Charlotte uses a traditional insulin pump with a closed-loop system, while Caroline utilizes a DIY system. Both women highlight the importance of having a strong support system, emphasizing that it doesn't matter what type of management you choose as long as it works for you!

I got to sit down with Madi, a T1D, registered dietitian, and a certified health education specialist. Madi and I talked about an unfortunately common diagnosis and her journey so far with Diabetes. We also discuss her stance on Diabetes, where she thinks there are opportunities for growth in the medical system, and how you can advocate for yourself by living and working with your care team. As educators, we discussed our position on managing Diabetes and how you have all the power to live your best life with Diabetes.

In today's episode I sat down with Jewell Halsted a T1D of 15 years and a physicians assistant at a local family practitioners office. Beyond just managing Diabetes, Jewell is passionate about advocating for others with T1D—she stays active with the T1D Exchange and the JDRF Walk to Cure. Her experiences have inspired me to step into the medical field as a medical assistant at a family practitioner's office, where she has been able to support others living with Diabetes.

In today's episode, I sit down with Jarrod Kind. Jarrod King has spent over 30 years managing life with Type 1 Diabetes, diagnosed at the age of 4. Jarrod is an endurance athlete, enjoying both distance running and cycling, pharmacist, husband, and father. His personal journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit to manage diabetes effectively while living an active lifestyle.

The spark for founding Diassentials came after an all day float trip. Like many with diabetes, Jarrod understood insulin pumps to have some level of waterproofing. After being on the river multiple hours, his insulin pump had been splashed a few times but never submerged. By the end of the trip, his pump had failed while being multiple hours from access to insulin. People with diabetes encounter endless obstacles while managing their blood sugars. He feels protecting your insulin pump should not be one of them. This led him to create DiaShield, the first waterproof case designed for insulin pumps.

Through Diassentials, Jarrod remains committed to empowering people with diabetes to live fearlessly. He wants to combine innovation with firsthand experience to provide solutions that address the everyday challenges of managing diabetes.

In today's episode, I sat down with Dr. Claudia Maltby. Dr. Maltby attended medical school in the UK and holds her medical license there. As a T1D, she began to experience some minor complications and started taking medications for support. Five years ago, Claudia decided to stop all conventional meds and began to look for different solutions. That's when she discovered Functional Medicine. She now lives in the US and is certified as a Functional practitioner. Her passion for finding an alternative to constant medications and reactive health care has allowed her to help her patients live more vibrant lives.

Dr. Radhika is a pediatric endocrinologist practicing in Portland, Oregon and Molly is a speech-language pathologist, Wilson dyslexia practitioner as well as the mother of a wonderful daughter who is autistic and has type 1 diabetes.

She soon realized that there wasn't much information out there for a visual learner like her daughter. She made multiple calls and eventually was introduced to Dr. Radhika. Now, Molly and Dr. Radhika make visual education about Diabetes.

In today's episode, I sat down with my great friend and old co-host Graham Hubbard. We talked about the Dexcom, insulin pumps, inhaled insulin, my decision to transition to MDI, and what we believe is the reason for our anxiety and fear of living with Diabetes.

Mark Fitzsimmons is from Sydney, Australia, and has been living with Type 1 Diabetes for the past 34 years. Mark has faced his share of ups and downs, including a battle with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy in 2021 that almost cost him his sight. This experience profoundly changed his perspective on life and the way he manages his Diabetes. Mark advocates that focusing on his mental health is what allowed him to then improve his physical health and the way he manages his Diabetes. His journey inspired him to craft stories filled with resilience and hope that he wished he had during his childhood, and he has now published a children's book for children living with Type 1 Diabetes.

In today's episode, I sat down with Samantha Hildebrandt, a t1d, a wife, and a mother of 2. Samantha has an interesting story. At diagnosis, she was told that she would never be able to have children, and I know Samantha isn't alone in this statement. I don't know about you, but this is unacceptable from someone who is supposed to be there for us at a dark and uncertain time in our lives. We also talked about the struggles she faced and how she was able to overcome those challenges.

In today's episode, I got to sit down with Arnie Bunch, a T1D Father and endurance enthusiast. Typically, when I have a Diabetic on this show, we talk about their Diabetes journey, challenges, and how they overcome those challenges. These are things that you, the listener, can relate to and pull important nuggets from. But this conversation did not go that route. Arnie and I discussed endurance training, his upcoming marathon, LOW CARB, or our thoughts about low carb. This was a great discussion about low carb in the shape of a perfect disagreement. I am so excited for you to listen to this one!

Brian was diagnosed with Type 1 at age 21. Despite the suddenness of his diagnosis and lack of education about managing Type 1, he was determined to not let diabetes hold him back.

Brian has always prioritized health and fitness, which meant managing blood sugars was a bit of an adjustment. After a few years of figuring out diabetes, Brian wanted to prove he could do something he thought was impossible, run a 50-miler.

In December of 2023, despite extreme temperatures and humidity, Brian attempted to run around the island of Aruba (52 miles). His experience was a roller coaster to say the least, but it’s an experience he’ll never forget.

Have you ever wondered what it was really like living with Diabetes before technology?
I know I have! In todays episode, I sat down with Wemara Lichty who has been Diabetic for let's just say a long time. We talked about the depths she had to go to keep herself alive and the challenges she overcome growing up without technology. As I was listening to her story I couldn't help to feel a sense of relief and gratitude for where technology and the Diabetes community has come.

In today's episode I got to sit down with Mila Hennigan and her Mother Cindy Hennigan. Mila was diagnosed with T1D in January of 2023. Ever since I meet Mila she has had a swagger about her, not allowing Diabetes to stand in her way. I had Mila's mother Cindy on the show back in episode #156 where we heard all about Mila's diagnosis and the families struggles to figure out what works for Mila while still allowing her to live as a young girl. I thought it only fitting to hear Mila's story from her own words!

Dr. Sarah Townley is a double board-certified clinical pharmacist who left the clinical setting to offer a different way of thinking about your health. Sarah offers one-to-one coaching for those who want to reverse type 2 diabetes and get off their diabetes medications by addressing the root cause of the problem. This was such a fascinating and profound episode with Dr. Townley. To have a doctor who decided that the protocols and principles that are set in place aren't good enough to have her leave that world to practice in her own way is nothing more than inspiring.

Carolyn was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 13 and is the founder of Sugarmedical, a diabetes accessory company. Early on, she identified a need for something more attractive than "the black medical bag" that comes with every glucometer. In 2009, Carolyn started designing cases from her basement with her two sons. A year later, she launched Sugar Medical and introduced her first supply case in 5 colors!

Today, Sugar Medical is one of the largest diabetic accessory companies in the country and is proudly still woman-owned. They specialize in supply cases, purses, backpacks, travel bags, and accessories available worldwide. They've created over 100 fashionable designs and will continue designing new and exciting products that are durable and practical for daily life with diabetes.

In today's episode, I got to sit down with Jordan Hostetler, a Functional Registered Dietitian who focuses on full body healing while getting to the root of your symptoms!

After earning her Bachelor's Degree, completing her 10-month Dietetic internship, and passing her board-certified registered dietitian exam, she worked as a clinical dietitian for five years in a long-term care facility.

After seeing how clinical nutrition worked and how food and lifestyle affected these patients and their health, Jordan knew it was time to switch to preventive medicine and help individuals understand how their food & lifestyle choices work together in healing the mind, body, and soul!

After 13 months of extensive training and education in evidence-based functional nutrition lab testing, she decided to take her career further by creating Blissfully Balanced Nutrition. In her practice, she sees a range of clients anywhere from chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, blood sugar dysfunction, hormone imbalances, GI issues, etc.

Have you ever wondered if the annual or quarterly tests you get at your doctor or Endocrinologist's office are enough to give you real insight into your overall health? I know I have, and today I answer those questions.

I got to sit down with my good T1D friend and colleague, Registered Dietitian Kelly Schmidt. Kelly talks with us about the difference between conventional and functional labs and why it's so important to advocate for yourself. This episode aims to educate you on the different types of functional tests and empower you to ask for more than just the basic labs we get quarterly.

Let me introduce you to Drew Miller, who gives a riveting account of his recent diagnosis with Type 1 diabetes, and the unexpected advantage of having a mom who's been managing the same condition. Drew's candid sharing of his journey takes us from his initial shock and confusion to his gradual acceptance, in a narrative that is as heart-warming as it is enlightening. What's more, you'll hear about his time at Camp Hamwi, where he found a unique support system in the form of fellow diabetics that he didn't know he was looking for, and how this social interaction became a pivotal point in his management of the disease.

Can you imagine navigating the waters of a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis as a family, learning to manage it together, and even evolving with it? Well, that's what this episode is all about. In this episode I sit down with Grayson, a brave 13-year-old who took his 2020 diagnosis in stride, his mother Sarah, who has been the primary caregiver for Grayson, and his dad Brian, a Type 1 diabetic himself for over 30 years.

We dive deep into how Sarah and Brian have helped Grayson manage his condition, influenced by Brian's own experiences. Learn all about the 504 plan they've implemented to create a supportive environment for Grayson both at home and school, dietary changes they've made, and how they’ve navigated insurance issues. We also dissect the evolution of Type 1 Diabetes management technology, comparing the Medtronic pump and the Omnipod, discussing the benefits of moving to the G6, and the challenges of dealing with insurance for medical supplies.

This episode is not just educational, but also inspiring as it shines a light on the strength and resilience of families dealing with a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis. So tune in, as we explore the hardships and the triumphs, the challenges and the solutions, and the strength of a family united in managing Type 1 Diabetes.

I've had the pleasure of meeting many inspiring athletes in my role as a coach. However, my conversation with Cayden and Grayson, two young soccer enthusiasts who live with Type 1 diabetes, truly stood out to me. Their journey has been full of obstacles, but they've achieved many triumphs along the way. Their resilience and determination are a testament to those who navigate life with diabetes. Their stories of managing diabetes among the demands of soccer serve as an inspiration for all of us, whether we're diabetic or not.

Cayden's diagnosis surprisingly came just before a pivotal soccer tournament. But his spirit remained unscathed as he took control of his disease from day one. Grayson, whose father also has diabetes, shared his symptoms, hospital journey, and recovery, offering an insightful peek into his life post-diagnosis. You'll also hear how these two soccer enthusiasts have adapted their routines and diet to maintain their performance on the field. Their heartwarming friendship and unwavering resilience underline the power of community in managing a condition like diabetes.

What if you could be the master of your own health, even with a condition as complex as diabetes? I had a powerful conversation with Dylan and Jake, two inspiring individuals involved with Camp Hamwi, a special place dedicated to empowering children and teenagers living with diabetes. This incredible episode takes you on an enlightening journey of resilience and determination as Dylan, a T1D since he was two years old, shares his transformation from a camper to a camp leader and how this unique environment shaped his approach to managing his condition.

Jake, who doesn't have diabetes, gives a unique perspective on understanding and managing the disease. Drawn to Camp Hamwi by his friendship with Dylan, Jake shares his personal learning curve in understanding diabetes and the importance of support networks. His experience serves as a reminder that empathy and understanding can go a long way in supporting those living with any type of health condition.

This episode is a testament to the power of community and support systems in overcoming health challenges. This is not just a conversation about diabetes; it's a discussion about resilience, friendship, and empowerment.

I've been fascinated with Lows for a long time. So many people tell me they are afraid of lows. I wonder if lows are the problem or if it's how you're handling that low. Don't get me wrong, lows are dangerous, but do you need to reframe how you're thinking about lows. This is the question I attempt to tackle.

Diabetes is a challenging disease to live with, especially if you don't have the most up to date information to help YOU succeed. Have you ever defined what HIGHS and LOWS mean to you? Do you base HIGHS and LOWS off a specific sugar level? Or maybe you base HIGHS and LOWS off symptoms and emotions?

Today Graham and I discuss how we define HIGHS and LOWS and how we strategically overcome them. We also discuss a controversial topic at the beginning of the episode....

ENJOY!

Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution: The Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars

There is no doubt that diabetes is a difficult disease to live with. The last three weeks we had the pleasure of hosting three different guests on the show. Individuals who showed us how important it is to keep these specific topics in mind.

How much insulin should a diabetic really take?
Why is Nutrition important for diabetics?
Are supplements good for diabetics?

Needless to say we took away a lot from these conversations. Today Graham and I sit down to discuss what we learned, and shared our thoughts about each topic.

Enjoy...

Diabetes is a challenging disease to live with, especially when you're unsure what to eat and not eat. Nutrition continues to be at the forefront of the content I'm pushing on this podcast. I've said it before, and you'll keep on hearing me say it, "if you don't know what you're eating and how those foods affect your blood sugar, you're missing a vital piece of the puzzle."

In today's episode, we got to sit down with Registered Dietitian Kelly Schmidt. Graham and I were blown away with her ideas and philosophies on how to control diabetes with FOOD!

We got to learn about what good nutrition is? What is the symbiotic relationship between the foods we eat and the gut? What type of eating habits are best for a diabetic? What insulin therapy is best? What is the difference between type 1, type 2, pre-diabetes, and diabetes 1.5 (Lada)? And much more.

ENJOY!

Have you ever been asked, "what can eat as a diabetic"? Or maybe "how are you a diabetic, you're not overweight"? These are what we call "Diabetic Myths." Things that the public believes to be true but simply aren't. Most Diabetic Myths don't have any relevance in truth. They're based on individuals that are uneducated about the disease. It's up to us to not only educate ourselves but the community.

In today's episode, Graham and I talk about some of these MYTHS and ask ourselves do they have any basis in FACT?
