Very educational

As a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic this has been an amazing resource over the last couple weeks. Craig and Laura are both genuine people that truly care about the diabetes community unlike so many influencers out there. Keep up the good work guys!💪

Wonderful and Helpful!

This podcast has lots of great advice for how to live day to day as a Type 1 diabetic. We hear on occasion stories of T1D triathletes, etc. but it’s also nice to hear about how people function in all kinds of settings - school, workplace, travel. My favourite episodes were the latest with Aaron Kowalski talking about the latest tech in diabetes research, and Rachel Zinman. The interview with Doris Gilbert was both inspirational and heartbreaking. Please keep up the good work!
