    Behind the Wheel with T1D: Navigating Teen Driving and Diabetes

    Behind the Wheel with T1D: Navigating Teen Driving and Diabetes

    Let's talk about driving with diabetes! Getting a driver’s license as a teenager comes with enough challenges without type 1, but letting your child with T1D get behind the wheel is stressful, to say the least! I’m sharing what worked for us and expert advice that may help you and tips to let technology be your friend in the car.
    This is an excerpt of Stacey's book, "Still the World's Worst Diabetes Mom." It's the second book in her series. You can learn more about the books here on Amazon or on our website.
    Learn more about Moira McCarthy's book that Stacey mentions here.

    Addressing the “shocking” lack of research into T1D & periods - Tidepool's Period Project

    Addressing the “shocking” lack of research into T1D & periods - Tidepool's Period Project

    This week, addressing something that half of all people with diabetes experience but that there is woefully little information and study about. Why is there so little study about periods and type 1 diabetes? We’re talking to two organizations who are teaming up to change that – but they need your help. We’re talking about Tidepool's Period Project.
    This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.
    You'll hear from Martina Rothenbühler, project leader data sciences and data protection officer at DCB, and Maya Friedman, founder of The Period Project at Tidepool.

    "It’s the Chaos Lottery & our ticket got pulled” - Sarah Stewart Holland on parenting a child with T1D

    "It’s the Chaos Lottery & our ticket got pulled” - Sarah Stewart Holland on parenting a child with T1D

    She calls it the Chaos Lottery – and says we all have different ways of dealing with what life throws our way. I’m talking to Sarah Stewart Holland, host of the huge podcast Pantsuit Politics about her family’s journey with diabetes – her young son was diagnosed almost two years ago. She has a lot to say about parenting a child with a chronic condition – this is not her son’s first serious diagnosis – and also about roles and identity and being a person without type 1 whos’ raising a person with type 1. It’s a lot and it’s great.
    This interview was taped at Moms' Night Out Charlotte. I think it's a great example of what happens at these events. We moms aren't looking for perfection, we're looking for community.

    "I needed to take my own advice" - Catching up with advocate Chris Ruden

    "I needed to take my own advice" - Catching up with advocate Chris Ruden

    We are far away from New Year’s resolutions and it’s feeling a little wintry and dreary around here. Good time to get some motivation and check in with Chris Ruden. Many of you know likely know Chris – who lives with type 1 - from his appearance on the Titan games, his bodybuilding videos or maybe it’s the videos where he shows his prosthetic hand.
    Chris has a lot to say about where all of that has brought him and what’s different for him now. He also uses the implantable Eversense CGM – always a lot of questions about that, so I asked him all about it.

A no-fluff, GREAT listen!

Stacy finds great guests with expertise / experience that add value. A no-fluff but great listen!

CrazyTeXan26 ,

One giant commercial

All the episodes are sponsored content from companies. Even her interviewees are there to hauck the products/companies they rep for. There are SO many diabetes podcasts with good unbiased information. Not worth listening to one where everything you hear for is paid.

N31YB ,

THE BEST diabetes informational podcast available

Don’t take my word for it, just listen.
