14: What Support Looks Like in Marriage With Type 1 Diabetes

In this episode of hi honey!, we sit down with Amanda and Kameron to talk about marriage, Type 1 Diabetes, and what support really looks like behind the scenes. From overnight lows and Dexcom alerts to meal prep, juice deliveries, travel worries, and simply learning how to be present, this conversation is such a sweet reminder that support does not look the same in every marriage. We loved getting to hear both Amanda and Kameron’s perspectives, especially from the husband side of things. This episode is honest, funny, relatable, and such a beautiful look at how love shows up in the little things.

13: The Rare Diabetes Complication That Changed My Life... My NLD Story

In this episode, Jenn opens up about her experience with Necrobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum, also known as NLD. She shares how it first appeared, how it turned into a 10-year wound care journey, and why she is now choosing to talk about it more openly. Jenn and Mike talk about the pain, the emotional toll, the importance of wound care, and why people with NLD should be prepared without living in fear. This episode is for anyone living with NLD, loves someone who does, or has ever felt they needed to hide something about their body. This is not medical advice. Just Jenn's personal experience and a reminder of being aware of the complications that can come alongside living with diabetes.

TEMPLATE SUBJECT: Support the Islet Cell Transplantation Act (H.R. 2541 / S. 1073) MESSAGE:  Dear [Senator/Representative Name], My name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent from [City, State]. I’m asking you to support the Islet Cell Transplantation Act, which would make islet cell transplants more accessible for people living with Type 1 Diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes requires constant, lifelong management and comes with serious health risks. Islet cell transplantation has the potential to reduce dangerous low blood sugars and significantly improve quality of life, but access in the U.S. is currently very limited.
