    #043: What's the Deal With Ozempic & T1D?

    Drugs like Ozempic started out as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. But in recent years they've exploded onto the mainstream. 1 in 8 Americans now use GLP-1s for weight loss. 1.6 million Brits do the same.  So what about type 1 diabetics? Can these "miracle drugs" improve blood sugars? Reduce food noise? Or tackle insulin resistance? And what are the risks? In this episode, Tracy and Cait separate hype from science and share their own experiences with GLP-1s so you can decide whether they deserve your attention.  We love it when listeners say hi.

    #042: Diabetes Ate My Hunger Cues

    When you're a type 1 diabetic, your food decisions aren't just about hunger.  They're about blood sugars, exercise plans, insulin on board, and the fear of going low. Sometimes we have to eat when we aren't hungry. And sometimes we feel famished when we're really just hypo.  Over time, all this can make it hard to recognise when we're really hungry or full.  In this episode, Cait and Tracy unpack the ways that diabetes can disrupt hunger and fullness signals and explore how we can make peace with food and start to reconnect with our bodies' natural cues.  We love it when listeners say hi.

    Have you ever had the same meal twice with the same insulin dose and got a totally different result? We have. Sometimes diabetes just doesn't make any sense. The diabetes maths stops mathing, as the kids say. It's unbelievably frustrating!  Fortunately, there is almost always an underlying cause or pattern that explains an unexpected blood sugar -- if you look hard enough.  In this episode, we bring you the ultimate blood sugar troubleshooting guide so you can switch on diabetes detective mode whenever you need it and, hopefully, turn chaos into calm.  We love it when listeners say hi.
