The Life of a Low Girl

Children With Diabetes

The Life of a Low Girl (LOALG) is a new content platform from Children with Diabetes built around honest, unfiltered conversations about life with type 1 diabetes. LOALG explores the everyday realities of T1D, from burnout and relationships to exercise, identity, and life in the “waiting room” (living with a Stage 1 or Stage 2 T1D diagnosis). This is a space for people living with type 1 diabetes, families, caregivers, and anyone looking for connection, understanding, and real conversations. The Life of a Low Girl podcast is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by MannKind.

    Ep. 15: Mental Weight of Waiting

    The waiting room is not always a place. Sometimes it’s a season of life. In this episode of The Life of a Low Girl, we’re joined by T1D mom Mary Kratz, who has one son living with type 1 diabetes and another son in Stage 1. Together, we talk about the mental weight of uncertainty, the constant “what if,” and what it means to live in the in-between. We also share how Children with Diabetes and Friends for Life are creating space for families navigating Stage 1 and Stage 2 T1D, because no one should feel like they are waiting alone.#LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D The Life of a Low Girl podcast is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by MannKind.

    We’re telling our endo horror stories, the good, the bad, and the truly “did that really just happen?” of it all.In this episode of The Life of a Low Girl, we’re talking about the provider moments that stick with you: the ones that made us feel seen, the ones that made us feel judged, and the ones we still think about years later.From “bad” numbers and appointment anxiety to the gap between clinical advice and real life with diabetes, we’re getting honest about what people with T1D wish their healthcare teams understood.Providers, this one’s for you. Patients, we know you have stories too. #LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D The Life of a Low Girl podcast is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by MannKind.

    Ep.13: Strong, Sweaty & Steady: Exercise & T1D

    We have our first Low Bro on the couch (virtually)! In this episode of The Life of a Low Girl, we’re joined by John Wilcox, 10x marathoner, to talk about exercise, running, and life with type 1 diabetes. From fueling and insulin adjustments to the trial-and-error of figuring out what actually works, John shares real-world strategies for moving your body with T1D. We also talk about the power of community through Team CWD and why doing hard things feels a little more possible when you’re not doing them alone. Because diabetes and exercise can be complicated, having people who get it makes all the difference. #LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D

    Ep. 12: Back to School: T1D Edition

    Back-to-school season hits different when diabetes is coming along for the ride.In this episode of The Life of a Low Girl, we’re talking about navigating school with T1D from kindergarten through college: IEPs, 504 plans, school nurses, diabetes supplies, classroom routines, dorm life, and the quiet anxiety of handing care over to other people.From advocating for what students need to helping everyone feel a little more prepared, we’re getting into the real-life side of starting a new school year with diabetes.Because packing the backpack is one thing. Trusting the plan is a whole other emotional support beverage.#LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D

    Ep.11: The Life of a Low Girl: After Dark

    This one is for the grown-up Low Girls. In this episode, we’re going After Dark to talk about the real-life diabetes topics that do not always make it into the daytime conversation: dating, relationships, sex, drugs, alcohol, and all the messy little moments that come with being a person with diabetes who is also, unfortunately, just trying to live their life. We’re getting into the honest questions, awkward stories, safety things we wish people talked about more, and the “wait, has anyone else dealt with this?” moments. A quick heads up: if you usually listen with kids around, save this one for later. Same diabetes realness, just a little more grown up. #LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D

    Ep.10: The Life of a Low Girl LIVE: Happy Trails from FFL

    Recorded live at Friends for Life Orlando during the closing keynote, this episode of The Life of a Low Girl is our love letter to the week we never want to end. Joined by fellow Low Girl and CWD’s Events & Programs Director, Ashlyn Mills, we’re recapping our favorite Friends for Life moments: the hallway hugs, the green and orange magic, the friendships, the laughter, the happy tears, and all the little things that make FFL feel like home. It’s a little emotional, a little silly, and very much a “how are we supposed to go back to real life now?” kind of episode. Happy trails from FFL, friends. #LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D

    Ep.8: Hot Weather, T1D & What Actually Holds Up

    Summer with T1D is cute in theory until your insulin is overheating, your sensor is peeling off, and everything in your diabetes bag feels like it’s one degree away from melting. In this episode of The Life of a Low Girl, we’re talking about the very real summer side of diabetes: insulin stability, stubborn adhesive, sweat, travel, pool days, and all the tiny things that make managing T1D in the heat feel like a full-time job. We’re sharing practical tips, honest frustrations, and the little things that help us survive the season without fully losing our minds. #LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D The Life of a Low Girl podcast is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by MannKind.
