What to Do When “Authority Figures” Get Diabetes Wrong
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.

Diabetes by the Decades
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.

The Imperfect Journey to Embracing T1D, with Taralyn Jamieson
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.

Ben is the bomb
While not a diabetic Ben is my nutritionist and strength and conditioning coach. I can’t say enough about how he has changed my life
I simply listen to what he tells me and my transformation has been incredible.
I can’t enough say how everyone with a health condition needs to meet Ben.
You are my hero

Type1 diabetic sice the age of 10…
I got it in June of 1958. When I went back to school in September. I had to bring bottles with me so that the doctor could test it every month that was humiliating to say the least! Hated it! I was skinny like olive oil, and I have a lot of positive things to say about it I am the oldest person that I know that has this disease. For 64 years I’ve been a type 1 diabetic! I have a lot more to say as I have not died as my friends have. I was 10 years old as my doctor told my parents I had a chance to live another 5 to 10 years if I was “lucky”.
I loved all your episodes! I have listened to many of them over again. Thank you for doing this!
Having a difficult time writing this.
Hope I can get back to this!!!
