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.

Truth About Upgrading to the Twiist Sequel

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2465728/fan_mail/new] Most people with diabetes don’t realize how dramatically technology can improve blood sugar management until they experience it firsthand.  Sami Parker, a pediatric registered nurse (RN) living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for 13 years, shares how switching to the Sequel Twiist insulin pump and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), such as the Freestyle Libre 3+, has transformed her daily life and improved her blood sugar stability. In this episode, Sami recounts her journey from being anti-pumper to loving her Twiist insulin pump, thanks to its unmatched accuracy, occlusion detection, and customizable features that fit her spontaneous lifestyle and intense work schedule.  She explains how these tools help her maintain over 90% time-in-range (TIR), even during night shifts and demanding days, and why she finally feels she has power over her diabetes.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
