    This is the Real Secret to Losing Weight with T1D

    Send us Fan Mail Most people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) struggle not just with blood sugar management, but with weight loss and sustainable health habits—and too many are left to figure it out alone. In this episode, Leanne Matthews and I get real about what actually makes T1D weight management so hard, and why quick fixes keep falling apart. We talk about fear of lows, unpredictable insulin needs, and the truth about building a routine that lasts. There are no magic tricks when it comes to weight loss, just the practical, real, sometimes hard stuff that actually makes a difference. Want to learn more? Follow Leanne on Facebook.

    Carbohydrate Science You Never Knew

    Send us Fan Mail High blood sugar doesn’t just affect your body—it may also quietly shape brain health, memory, and energy. In this episode, I speak with Dr. John Lewis about the surprising ways chronically elevated blood sugar may impact the brain, including the science behind “caramelizing the brain,” neuroplasticity, brain fog, and the afternoon crash.  Together, we explore the connections between diabetes, sleep, inflammation, and dementia, along with practical nutrition ideas and a broader conversation about how everyday choices can support long-term brain health.

    The Diabetes App That Fills the Gaps Left by Your CGM & Pump

    Send us Fan Mail If you've ever wished your CGM or insulin pump could do just a little more, this episode is for you. I'm joined by Greg Badros, founder of Gluroo and father of a son with type 1 diabetes, to talk about how he built an app to fill the gaps left by today's diabetes technology. Together, we dive into everything from logging meals, exercise, insulin, and low treatments to identifying patterns that can help you better understand what's affecting your blood sugar day-to-day. We also talk about how Gluroo works alongside your existing diabetes devices, why it was designed to reduce the mental burden of diabetes rather than add to it, and how its companion apps, Got CGM and FlashSnack, make managing diabetes even easier. Whether you're living with type 1 diabetes yourself or caring for someone who is, I think you'll come away with a better understanding of how the right tools can help you spend less time managing diabetes and more time living your life. Let me know in the comments: What's one feature you wish your CGM or insulin pump could do that it doesn't today? Thanks for tuning in! Join the Diabetes Nerd Network.

    Who Makes Money From a Diabetes Cure?

    Send us Fan Mail What does the stock market have to do with curing type 1 diabetes? Actually...a lot. In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, my friend Julia Flaherty joins me to pull back the curtain on the business side of diabetes research. We talk about how biotech companies raise money, why investors get excited about clinical trial results, what happens when a company gets acquired, and why so many people living with T1D are becoming shareholders themselves. If you've ever wondered why a company's stock jumps after a promising study—or how someone could potentially invest in the future of diabetes research—this episode is for you. This isn't investment advice. It's simply an honest, easy-to-understand conversation about the money that helps fund the race toward better treatments and, hopefully, one day, a cure for type 1 diabetes. 🎧 Watch or listen now and let us know what you think!

    He’s Off Mealtime Insulin: Here’s His Tzield Story

    Send us Fan Mail What if a newly diagnosed person with type 1 diabetes (T1D) could dramatically reduce their insulin needs, or even stop taking mealtime insulin altogether? In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, we sit down with Jacob, who was diagnosed with T1D in February 2026 and enrolled in the Beta Preserve clinical trial just weeks later. The study is exploring whether two rounds of Tzield (teplizumab) can preserve insulin-producing beta cells more effectively than a single treatment. Just months after beginning treatment, Jacob has cut his basal insulin by more than half and no longer needs mealtime insulin. He shares what it was like to undergo 12 consecutive days of Tzield infusions, the side effects he experienced, and how his blood sugars and daily life have changed. We also discuss how Tzield works, why early screening for type 1 diabetes is becoming increasingly important, and what this research could mean for the future of T1D treatment. Most importantly, Jacob explains why he hopes his story inspires others to consider screening, clinical trials, and opportunities to preserve beta cell function after diagnosis. If you live with type 1 diabetes, care for someone who does, or want to stay informed about the latest diabetes research, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Would you consider participating in a clinical trial like this? Have questions about Tzield or T1D screening? Leave a comment. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for tuning in!
