Beta Cell

Our most requested topic ever is finally discussed: drinking with diabetes. Plus the very first "Quick Tips with Craig and Laura."

Listen to the full episode on our Patreon.

While you're there, you can support Beta Cell and get new episodes of After Dark every other week. That's twice as much Craig and Laura (with the occasional James) as you're currently getting. What are you waiting for?

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 60 years old, we follow the story of Craig’s Aunt Laura in real time, week by week. In this episode, Craig meets Laura in Arizona to give her a Dexcom.
