Ep. 24 - Diabetes Tech - Access For All - chit chat around challenges & considerations

In this episode we generally just have chat around some of the topics being raised around National Diabetes Week in Australia next month. Diabetes Australia wants a future where diabetes can do no harm. People living with diabetes should be able to access the life-saving technology they need to live well. This year Diabetes Australia is shining a light on the impact of diabetes tech and what needs to be done to improve access. We chat about the challenges and considerations around diabetes research funding, as well as funding diabetes technology for both children and adults. We discuss both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in relation to access to CGM, and just share some of our own thoughts, as well as some of the evidence around these topics.  Listen in and feel free to contact us via our socials or email below with any comments or feedback. We are always open to other’s experiences and thoughts.

Ep. 23 - Essentials for Pregnancy Planning - Type 1 & 2 Diabetes (Pt. 1)

There are some key considerations for pregnancy when you have Type 1 or 2 Diabetes. In Episode 23, Jaimee talks about the importance of aiming to achieve recommendations for glucose management to reduce some possible very serious complications to Mum &/or Bub during pregnancy. As someone living with Type 1 Diabetes, Jaimee understands how it feels to be told you should not fall pregnant until you get your HbA1c down to 6.5% or less! It can feel like an unachievable and unfair target. Listen in to hear why pregnancy planning is SO important for women with T1D & T2D. Jaimee also covers other considerations around medications, supplements and screenings which should be discussed with your diabetes team.  Warning ‼️ some content may be triggering and confronting in this episode. The essentials are covered in this podcast as Part 1, with more to come in the future. This is not individualised advice and you should always work with your diabetes team when making adjustments to your diabetes management.

Ep. 22 - Weight Loss & Type 2 Diabetes Meds (Ozempic, Saxenda & Mounjaro) - Chit Chat about their place

In this episode Hayley is back. We talk about the very topical subject of weight loss/Type 2 Diabetes medications such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Saxenda. We discuss our personal thoughts on the place of these meds both within the diabetes space and around their place in weight loss for health improvements. Should they be 'saved' for those with Type 2 Diabetes only? Is it 'cheating' to take these to help with weight loss? Listen in as we share our personal thoughts. These are just our personal experiences and thoughts. We do not intend on offending anyone in any way by any of our comments, and hope this is more thought provoking with considerations for anyone out there with interest in these medications. We would absolutely love to hear other people's experiences.
