  • Ep.54 Married with Type 1
    It's a new week Type 1s and Nones and THIS time around we're talking Marriage with Type 1, with Lexie and her Type None husband De'Andre. Because Type 1 AND our relationships are parts of our lives that must interact, Lexie and Deyondre tell us what it's been like for them and how they've been able to make the most out of a very difficult and unique Type 1 situation. Lexie also shares with us how she's been using her social media platform, The Sugarless Society, to not only support the Type 1 community but also as a way to help other Type 1/Type None couples navigate a relationship with each other AND Type 1. Lexie's IG: @thedivabeticThe Sugarless Society WebsiteAsk My About My Type 1 Podcast IG: @askmeaboutmytype1Edited, Produced, and Written by: Walt DrennanHosted by: Walt DrennanMusic by: Afterglow Studios

    Oh Hi Type 1s and Nones! We're getting responsible this week on the Ask Me About My Type 1 because it's all about mixing Alcohol with your Type 1!

She shares with us all the hawt hawt tips for drinking while Type 1 along with easy ways to make your favorite drinks less carby but just as yummy (ugh that one made me cringe).

  • Ep.51 Communicating the Type 1 Experience Part 4

    Type 1s and Nones!!! It's the finale of the finale. That's right! Part 4, the final installment of the Ask Me About My Type 1 Season 3 Finale Special the Series is here! This very special episode is the live recording of the Connected In Motion Virtual Slipstream Workshop that I did a couple months back. Here I share why I think sharing our Type 1 stories is so important along with some tips on how you can do it yourself! In addition to my TedTalk I was also lucky enough to find three Type 1 volunteers, friend of the show Jordan (S2Ep.1) and new friends Katie and Sarah, who helped me open up the conversation based on their varied experiences with that thing we call Type 1. I had a lot of fun with this and I hope it gives you some sort of insight into your Type 1 experience. Thank you all again so much for this very special season of Ask Me About My Type 1!!! See y'all for Season 4!!!

  • Ep.50 More than just a post... Part 3

    Oh hi Type 1s and Nones!!! I'm back AGAIN this week and this time with Part 3 of the Ask Me About My Type 1 Season 3 Finale Special Series!!! On this very special episode Lexie, Lauren, Qiana, and Antoinette come back and share with us their thoughts on the posts that everyone in the Diabetic Online Community is talking about right now. Recent happenings on social media brought to light major issues within the Type 1 Community that quite frankly aren't new, but need to be addressed. Because while the discussions many of us in the Type 1 Community are now having may have been inspired by a post on social media, the problems they represent go much much deeper. Thank you again to Lexie, Lauren, Qiana, and Antoinette for their help with this episode.

  • Ep.49 Amplifying Black Type 1 Stories Part 2
    Welcome back Type 1s and Nones!!! I knew you'd be back for Part 2 of the Ask Me About My Type 1 Season 3 Finale Special Series!!! In Part 2 I have on new friend Lauren and friend of the show Qiana Drew.  In our conversations we talk about specific struggles that are entirely unique even with the Type 1 experience. Lauren tells us about her experiences being racially discriminated against by her medical care teams which kept her managing her Type 1 the way she wanted to. Qiana comes back to speak with us about her struggles with Diabulimia at a time when the term itself didn't even exist. This one is full of tough but necessary conversations that our community should be having more.

  • Ep.47 Type 1 Moms

    This one is going out to all the Type 1 Moms. And this week Ask Me About My Type 1 means that in every sense of the phrase. Because not only do we have a Type None guest who is Mom to a Type 1 daughter, we also have our Type 1 guest who has a two year old of her own. Type 1 guest Marci tells us all about her experiences after her Type 1 pregnancy and what parenting as Type 1 has taught her. Marci's friend and our Type None guest, Lindsay, is your typical Type 1 mom who manages her daughter's Type 1 along side her husband who ALSO lives with Type 1. Strangely enough this episode became the mostly highly Type 1 concentrated I've had to date and for reasons that you'll just have to hear to believe. So be on your best behavior and don't eat Mom's low snacks because it's all about the parenting with and for Type 1 on this episode of Ask Me About My Type 1.
