We all know that what we eat affects our blood sugars (which can send us on emotional roller coasters sometimes) but did you know that your food will directly affect your mood?
Sarah and Tamara, certified nutritionists and founders of The Living Kitchen, came on the pod to share how what we eat impacts our entire lives.
Sarah's husband has type 1 diabetes, and watching him deal with it helped Sarah understand the importance of how we choose our food.

This episode really focuses on the differences of both type 1 and 2 while giving a short lesson on how the pancreas works.
But the main difference is that type 1 is permanent and type 2 is usually reversible. They are also completely different mechanisms, meaning type 1 is an autoimmune condition while type 2 is a metabolic condition.
We explain more about this and talk about what insulin therapy is and what treatment type 2s usually need.

What does “embracing discomfort” mean?
As T1Ds, we deal with discomfort every day of our lives. Changing infusion sites, sensors, giving injections, checking blood sugars, waking up in the middle of the night, doing Herculean mental calculations for our meals..
But what if this was all easier if we leaned into embracing discomfort?
Spoiler alert: it is. Listen in to find out why.

Like it or not, some "authority figures" in the medical space get diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes, wrong.
Whether it's a doctor, nurse, nutritionist, dietitian, professor, or someone in your family, it's important to know not only how to recognize when they're wrong, but also how to stand up for the truth when they do.
Just because someone has a degree doesn't mean they have all the answers.

What's the history of type 1 diabetes since insulin was discovered in 1921?
We have come a long way from animal-sourced insulin and needles that had to be sharpened after multiple uses.
Sometimes it's mind-boggling to think that T1D was a straight-up death sentence just over a hundred years ago.
With that in mind, Jessie walks us through diabetes research and milestones decade by decade, including our own diagnoses.

Taralyn Jamieson was diagnosed at 8 years old and spent most of her 28 years with T1D trying to ignore her blood sugars.
It wasn't until she settled down in her personal life that it became a priority to get her health under control, but by then it was too late to avoid complications.
Taralyn shares why we need to talk about the reality of diabetes complications that are difficult to hear about, but harder to deal with if you actually have them.

The last two months of the year can feel like a whirlwind of "let's just throw out all our routines" because Halloween kicks off the season of candy, food, get togethers, more food, family drama, even more food... you get the point.
By the time we land in the week between Christmas and New Year's (AKA what I call "black hole week") it feels like all is lost because we just spent the last two months ignoring good habits and indulging in the season.
So today (in real time, the day after Christmas) we're coming to you with some tips on getting back into routine after the holidays, sort of purposefully timed with everyone's favorite: New Year's Resolutions.

Diagnosed at age 6, Richard Vaughn has lived with it for over 75 years now. Richard joined us on the podcast to talk about his experience with so many years of T1D.
The most surprising thing I learned? Richard did not know his blood sugar for 40 years.
Now, age 81, he has very few complications or health problems related to T1D. Richard is a wealth of information for any T1D and their families.
He’s one of the most positive voices I see in the diabetes Facebook groups. He regularly posts long-form posts about his life with type 1, the lessons he’s learned, with pictures to go along with it!

I have 20 years of T1D kids' camp under my belt, but didn't have a chance to go to a camp just for adults with T1D until this year.
Connected in Motion held their Colorado Slipstream in August 2023, and it coincided perfectly with a work trip, which made it super easy to say YES!
I had an absolute blast at this camp.
Check out all the things available at camp, hear what my favorite experiences were, and what I'm excited about for the next time I venture to a camp just for adults with the 'betes.

Ben Tzeel is a lot of things: T1D since age 7, registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator, strength and conditioning specialist, AND the founder of Your Diabetes Insider.
Ben turned himself into a science experiment after diagnosis and went against the grain of what he saw other T1Ds doing and going through. Determined not to let T1D become a "life sentence", Ben pursued his passions in sports and turned the doubts of others into his fuel.
Outdated diabetes education stops millions of PWDs from taking control of their bodies and BGs, but not for Ben! He knows you can have your cake and eat it, too, and on this episode, he shares how.

Ever wonder why you end up on roller coasters that send you from 350+ down below 50 and back up again? It might have to do with big inputs from a combination of inaccurate carb counts, ineffective insulin absorption, and the wrong timing.
Dr. Richard Bernstein's book The Diabetes Solution is based around the goal of normalizing blood sugars in diabetics, and the core of normalization revolves around the law of small numbers.
Small inputs = small mistakes = small corrections.
Big inputs = big mistakes = big corrections.
Listen in to find out more about the law of small numbers and how you can use it to your T1D advantage.

Our follow-up episode to the discussion on insulin pumps, this MVP discusses the different CGM manufacturers and what we knew at the time for what was coming. Since the original episode aired, the Dexcom G7 has been released, but is (as of summer 2023) still undergoing integration with the Tandem t:Slim X2 insulin pump.
Knowing about the different CGM options is just as important (if not more important) than knowing what pumps are out there. If I had to choose between a pump and a sensor, I'd choose a sensor every time.
Information is potential power, and you can't make a decision about which CGM to use if you don't know the options.

An oldie but a goodie! Back in episode 69, we highlighted the top 3 insulin pump manufacturers, the features of each pump, and what was possibly in the pipeline (as we knew then).
The info in this episode is still relevant especially with so many new diagnoses, and especially since many doctors offices and endocrine clinics have financial relationships with Medtronic... which means T1Ds might not even know about the other insulin pump options out there.
Like anything with your T1D care, the insulin pump you choose should be an informed decision, and not one that you get strong-armed into. For some, MDI works better. For others, Omnipod.
That's what it comes down to: the freedom to CHOOSE.
So take a listen to this MVP episode on the different kinds of pumps out there.

Josh Pittman, CEO of Pip Diabetes Care, joins us to talk about painless lancets and other ways his diabetes product company strives to make life easier for PWD from all backgrounds.

In the spirit of authenticity, I'm sharing my raw, rambling creative thoughts while on a hike. I recorded this with my author clients in mind, and I use a lot of writing analogies, and I talk a lot about my first book, Mark of Stars, and how we have to be willing for things to feel hard in order to improve. It's the same with T1D. Please forgive all the traffic sounds! I was coming down the south side of Waterworks Hill in Missoula, which is right by I-90.

Most people with type 1 diabetes do not love the condition. A lot of the time, it's a relationship filled with resentment, anger, frustration, confusion, and over time it feels exhausting. One of the most difficult questions we ask guests is "what's your favorite thing about T1D?".
Most of us don't love it, and in this episode I'm challenging the status quo of hating on the 'betes. I believe we can learn to love the diabetes, to release the blame, and think about it the same way we think about all the other significant things in our lives.
