    Type 1 Diabetes: How I Got Insurance To Reverse Their Decision (And The 5-Word Trick That Fixed It)

    I just had my diabetes supplies changed by insurance without anyone even telling me. No notice. No consent. Just a different order showing up at my door. So I had to call in and figure it out myself. And instead of arguing, I used a few simple psychology-based tactics that completely changed how the conversation went… and I ended up not only fixing the issue, but getting extra supplies approved too. I broke down exactly what I did in this video — step by step — because this is something a lot of people living with diabetes quietly deal with, but don’t really talk about.  >> ENJOY!

    This Is Why Your Blood Sugar Feels Out of Control

    When your blood sugar is doing the absolute most and you’ve already done everything “right”… 😅 From pump sites, CGM errors, to insulin not playing along — some days just don’t add up. But instead of spiraling into frustration, the real win is this: 👉 Get curious, not angry. 👉 Solve, don’t sulk. 👉 Keep going anyway. Because it may not be your fault… but it is your problem to figure out. Diabetes doesn’t care about your plans — but neither does resilience. 💪 Keep showing up. Keep adjusting. Keep fighting. >> ENJOY!
