Juicebox Podcast: Type 1 Diabetes

If you’re struggling to meet your goals, struggling to care, or not struggling at all and just want to be reminded that you’re not actually alone with this disease, give it a shot. I don’t see how you can stay on the wrong path if you’re actively listening. It’s a gentle reminder every day that it can be done, that you should not be so hard on yourself, that other people struggle and succeed as well, and little pieces of knowledge just get dropped in your brain like free education. Please please please give it a shot. Scott and his guests make me laugh daily, get choked up, get angry at the system, and then sort back through it all.

I was diagnosed with Type 1 at age 31 and have been living with the disease for 17 years. I am “beginning again” with my management and have found this podcast to be priceless. I started with the Diabetes Pro Tips series and am working my way through the other episodes. I have already seen a significant drop in my BG levels since implementing the tools discussed my Scott and Jenny. The podcast has also led me to shift my mindset about many aspects of living with Type 1. A huge THANK YOU to Scott, Jenny and everyone else involved with creating this show.

I had never listened to a podcast before & just followed the Facebook group for a while, but once I started listening, I gained insight & skills to apply to managing my blood glucose much better than ever, & without the stress of micromanaging. I am down to a 6.0 & honestly believe I can do even better than that! I have learned way more here than anywhere else & it is way easier to listen to an episode or read a short transcript compared to the lengthy books I tried to learn from, in combination with my good endos. The podcast helps me know things can and will get better & helps me not feel so alone in my diagnosis & care.

I really enjoyed listening to your guests this week. I love hearing how things work in other countries, as far as their medical and their way of educating their diabetics. I really like that she was open and honest with you about her other issues and has turned them into positives. As you would say, she was very lovely. I hope everyone else enjoyed the podcast.
