#330: Is Diabetes Easier Than Ever — Or Are We Missing the Point?
Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.
In this milestone episode of The Healthy Diabetic Podcast, I'm joined by longtime friend and former co-host Graham Hubbard for Episode 330—and the first-ever live episode of the show.
Graham and I dive into a wide-ranging, honest conversation about whether modern diabetes technology has truly made life easier for people with Type 1 diabetes—or if something important has been lost along the way.
They explore topics including insulin sensitivity, fear of lows, CGMs, fitness, food quality, GLP-1 medications, obesity trends in Type 1 diabetes, and the emotional weight of living with a misunderstood condition. The episode also introduces the new live format, with weekly discussions happening in real time and continuing on YouTube.
This episode sets the tone for what’s coming next: deeper conversations, more nuance, and a stronger focus on the real-life factors that impact diabetes beyond numbers and devices.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- Diabetes technology has improved—but management isn’t automatically easier
- Fear of lows can limit insulin decisions and quality of life
- Insulin sensitivity varies dramatically from person to person
- Fitness, sleep, and food quality still matter—maybe more than ever
- GLP-1 medications can be helpful, but context matters
- Type 1 diabetes is not insulin resistance—and shouldn’t be treated as such
- Mental health and self-trust are foundational to good diabetes management
