Correction Dose

When we go away on holiday, diabetes comes too. We do our best to adjust. Different food. Different exercise. Different weather. Maybe more alcohol. Maybe even a time difference. 

Then we come home and it’s time to return to the old routine. But it’s not so easy getting back to normal. 

After some globe-trotting adventures, Cait and Tracy are facing that exact challenge. 

They discuss: 

📝 Essential tasks for the day you get home 

😓 Avoiding the post-holiday guilt/blues

🥕 How to ease back into your normal diet

💤 Tips for fixing your sleep routine

✈️  Post holidays reflections

Here's part two of Cait's chat with Neil Greathouse, one of the best-loved people in the T1 community.

🧃 Why we're the "cult leaders" of treating lows with glucose only. 

🥤  The science that persuaded Neil to drink more water.

💤 Some unbelievable stats about sleep and blood sugar.

⌚ The answer to the question, "Why don't diabetics pre-bolus?"

Plus some wonderfully bizarre words we use where we're from (Arkansas vs Johannesburg) :)

We LOVE this episode. Hope you do you too :)

Feeling exhausted? Struggling with weight gain, stubborn blood sugars, or brain fog?

It might just be diabetes. Heck, it might just be life! But for 1 in 5 type 1 diabetics, it's something else.

😴 Common symptoms of Hashimoto's

Hypos are scary. Objectively scary. But if you live a healthy life with type 1 diabetes, you can't avoid them.

Fearing hypos can make you miserable. It can also have real consequences for your diabetes management. Avoiding them might mean avoiding exercise, letting your blood sugars run high, or missing out on fun experiences. Fortunately, there are ways to overcome or manage fears.

In this episode, Cait and Tracy talk about their own scary hypos and explain tried-and-tested strategies for overcoming fear plus their tips for staying safe and recovering fast when hypos happen.

Drugs like Ozempic started out as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. But in recent years they've exploded onto the mainstream. 1 in 8 Americans now use GLP-1s for weight loss. 1.6 million Brits do the same. 

So what about type 1 diabetics? Can these "miracle drugs" improve blood sugars? Reduce food noise? Or tackle insulin resistance? And what are the risks?

In this episode, Tracy and Cait separate hype from science and share their own experiences with GLP-1s so you can decide whether they deserve your attention.

When you're a type 1 diabetic, your food decisions aren't just about hunger.  They're about blood sugars, exercise plans, insulin on board, and the fear of going low. Sometimes we have to eat when we aren't hungry. And sometimes we feel famished when we're really just hypo. 

Over time, all this can make it hard to recognise when we're really hungry or full. 

In this episode, Cait and Tracy unpack the ways that diabetes can disrupt hunger and fullness signals and explore how we can make peace with food and start to reconnect with our bodies' natural cues.
