It's okay to ask for help when you need it!

There are so many amazing opportunities and support systems in college, don’t be afraid to reach out when you need help!

A furry friend can go a long way in helping you manage your T1D.

Elle Shaheen tells us all about Coach, her diabetes alert dog, and the impact he’s had on her diabetes management. Coach can smell when Elle's blood sugar is too low or too high, and will alert her when that happens.

Diabetes service dogs can be a life-saver, literally!

Capo is a service dog that helps monitor Carson Magee’s blood sugar. Capo will alert Carson when his sugar is too high or too low.

Check out my conversation with Carson as he dives into how he trained Capo, how Capo has helped him with T1D, and how others may benefit from having their own service dog.

14/03/2022

Have you ever wondered how diabetes service dogs are trained?

It all starts with the basics! Capo, a diabetes service dog, started by learning how to walk on a leash and be comfortable around strangers. From there, Capo learned how to detect and alert Carson when his blood sugar is too high or too low through reward-based training using scent samples.

Check out my conversation with Carson Magee, where he dives deeper into Capo's training, and how Capo has been a real lifesaver for him.

If you’re heading off to college soon (or already there), see if your college has a diabetes network!

It’s a great way to meet new people and it’s always nice to have a support group you can relate to.

Check out my conversation with Yoni Gilad as we talk about T1D and college. Yoni gives us insight into what he has done to help manage T1D as a college student and athlete.

Life is full of changes when you’re heading off to college. Your diabetes management is no different!

Your food, environment, and schedule are all likely to change, so it’s super important to monitor your blood sugar for changes and adjust as needed for the first few weeks. After the first few weeks, you tend to get into a routine, which can actually be very beneficial to your diabetes management.

Come listen in as I talk with Yoni Gilad about what he has done to manage his T1D while in college with the help of monitoring and getting on a set schedule.

Do you know what really matters to you in life? Are you willing to make the sacrifices required to make those a priority?

When you really take the time to dig deep into what matters most to you, it gives you direction. When you know where you want to be in life, it can make those tough decisions much easier.

With a DIY closed-loop system, your insulin pump communicates with your monitor to make basal insulin adjustments automatically.

No more manually adjusting your insulin throughout the day! 🤯

Come listen in as I sit down with Will Hall, National Director of Leadership Giving, JDRF International, who has used this system for 4 years. He dives into his opinion on the system and how it works.

With Type 1 Diabetes, the body mistakenly destroys cells that house insulin, also known as beta cells. There is more and more research being done to look into this and even how it can impact treatment for Type 1!

Beta cell research is on the rise, and the outcomes sound incredible!

Come listen in as I sit down with Will Hall, National Director of Leadership Giving, JDRF International, to discuss these innovations in beta cells research and how they could benefit T1D.

Low blood sugar affects your brain for almost an hour!

Check your CGM before you get in the car to monitor your sugars. If you think you might have low sugars prior to driving, plan ahead by taking insulin to keep yourself and others safe.

Check out my conversation with Amy Hess Fischl as we discuss the importance of honest conversations with your healthcare provider and the impact of your insulin distribution timeline.

07/02/2022

Don't blame yourself every time your blood sugar is insufficient!

Often, inaccurate numbers come from a site issue, so take a few extra minutes to watch your numbers and replace the site if you need to.

We're not perfect, neither is our diabetes management, and that is okay. The goal is to live a long and healthy life, and a drop in your blood sugars won’t have to defer that.

Check out my conversation with Amy Hess Fischl as we discuss the importance of honest conversations with your healthcare provider and the impact of your insulin distribution timeline.

You have the freedom to try new things whenever you want!

College is a time of trial and if you don’t like what you’re doing just try something else. Take advantage of the freedom you have now before you have to start adulting!

Take a listen to my conversation with Professor Matthew Webber as we discuss the work he is doing with glucose-responsive hydrogels📊

New advances in technology are creating breakthroughs for diabetes management!

Glucose-responsive hydrogel has the potential to prevent the devastating impacts of low sugars. While it is still in the early trial stages, the effects on mice are providing positive results. 🧪
