Type 1 diabetic for 4 years

I just found this podcast and I’m so thankful that I came across it. Matt has answered more questions for me in 3 podcasts and taught me more than any doctor or endocrinologist has. It’s a daily changing disease that is defined by so much of my life and determines my readings. It’s a learning experience all the time. Thank you so much for helping and sharing your knowledge.

Not much meat, just an advertisement

It’s a cool concept but not much meat. The title pulls you in but the short episodes don’t actually give you any T1D info or help, it’s just a commercial for the program.
