Diabetes Burnout? No, We Have Diabetes Disgust.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2465728/fan_mail/new] Content creators who only show their best moments with type 1 diabetes (T1D)? Unhelpful. Healthcare systems that mistakenly diagnose you with type 2 diabetes (T2D) because you're older or live in a bigger body? Horrifying. Having to get up in the middle of the night to treat a low? Over it. We are so, so over it. Living with type 1, that is. How do you navigate burnout when the world of diabetes or your world with diabetes just feels like it's too much? In this conversation with Neil Greathouse  (one of our favorite people in the world), we chat about this and more.  And we're inviting you to be a part of our circle! Because we're guessing there's a lot you need to get off your chest, too.

He's Been Cured After 36 Years with T1D

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2465728/fan_mail/new] Can you imagine waking up one day and no longer needing insulin? No longer worrying about how many carbs are in a meal? No longer fretting over whether you'll go low during exercise? No longer overthinking every little thing because of type 1 diabetes (T1D)? It sounds nice, but it also feels unimaginable to most people.  But not Chris Pacheco—he's living proof that a cure is on its way. (It might already be here!) After 36 years of living with T1D, Chris no longer has to live the same way because of his participation in the Eledon Clinical Trial. Thanks to Eversense for sponsoring the Diabetes Nerd Podcast.
