In this week’s episode, co-hosts Sami & Dobie go across the globe to meet with Kalex, a type 1 diabetic from London, UK.
Kalex sheds some light on what life is like dealing with diabetes in London and the healthcare system there. Diagnosed in his mid twenties, Kalex had to shift his lifestyle and relationships to ones that encourage the prioritization of dealing with this chronic disease.
For Kalex, this meant limiting take out meals to only 1-2 times per week instead of every meal. AND if you’re listening in the UK, it’s called ‘takeaway’ not ‘take out’. Another educational moment for Sami and Dobie, to say the least.

Tequila soda with lime juice? DUH. Low carb, low sugar, low calorie. A perfect combination.

In this episode, co-hosts Sami (type 1) and Dobie (type 2) talk about an unspoken and taboo topic, ‘Alcohol and Diabetes - Part 1’.
Dobie shares his story as to why he doesn’t drink alcohol and never has, while Sami is the typical young adult in the world learning the ways of drinking with diabetes. Sami shares some lighthearted, yet insightful stories of her experiences when she maybe just had one TOO many a couple nights during college. But, Dobie, the non-alcoholic, does not judge and gains some interesting perspective as to how alcohol does not only go south when drunk excessively, but also can be a life or death sentence for those dealing with diabetes.

In this inventive episode, co-hosts Sami (type 1) and Dobie (type 2) introduce the newest term for emotionally triggered high blood sugars, known as ‘Salty Sugars’.
Have you ever been frustrated, angry, sad, anxious, excited, stressed, or emotional and stuck with high blood sugars? Well Sami and Dobie have, and it is NOT fun.
Sami dives in a little about a recent event in her life that caused insulin resistance and blood sugars of 230 and higher.
Dobie discusses times in his life where he knew not feeling like a 10 meant insulin resistance was working and in action. I mean hey ‘salty sugars’ is a catchy phrase right? Now you can be ‘pulling the D-card’ if you are having ‘salty sugars’. The perfect combination in Sami and Dobie’s eyes.
Join the conversation and think about a time you were having stubborn high blood sugars caused by a wide range of emotions.
‘Salty sugars’ aren’t always the best sugars.

In this episode, co-hosts Sami and Dobie welcome the amazing guest Billy Gardell to discuss what life is like on the road as a touring comedian with type 2 diabetes. Dobie and Billy have a history way back, but you’ll have to listen to hear what the title of this episode even means.
‘Pizza or Doughnuts?’ Sami will take a deep dish pizza, while Dobie wants that glazed twist. If you don’t know, Billy Gardell was a co-star of the famous sitcom, Mike and Molly, and let me tell you Mike was a big boy. Billy also shares his experience of what life was like in Hollywood and his gastric bypass surgery that allows him to manage his diabetes the way he does now. Tune in to hear more about Billy Gardel and a day in the life of a celebrity.
C’est la vie, baby!

In this episode, co-hosts Sami & Dobie go across the states to Massachusetts where Instagram and Tik Tok influencer, Lauren Quinn (aka @type1_laur) joins the two in discussing her compelling diagnosis story and ‘Lauren’s Lowest of Lows’.
While Dobie thinks of the topic with a mature and cognitive approach, Sami and Lauren take it quite literally and share their lowest blood glucose level readings. To swing the pendulum back, these three junkies discuss their highest of highs (and yes, Sami took it quite literally again) from both numbers to thankfully pulling the D-card.
Join these three in this entertaining, yet relatable episode of all things diabetes related.
C’est la vie, baby!

In today’s episode, co-hosts Sami and Dobie do a special episode between their birthdays called the ‘Big Birthday Blowout’. This is your informal invitation to their cyber party, and all you need to do is bring your ears!
Dobie starts out with the angle of enjoying birthday treats in moderation, but Sami spills the beans that she used to enjoy an entire whipped cream can in a week.
Moral of the story is to try to plan, prepare, and practice moderation when it comes to celebrating special events and managing your blood sugars.
Stay tuned for an episode in the future about diabetes cooking with the co-hosts ;) Even though Sami and Dobie are both March babies, the two celebrate different horoscopes and read each other's fate for the year of 2022.
C’est la vie, baby!
