December 07, 2022 Episode 214 - Ben Tzeel, T1D Registered Dietician, Strength Coach, Founder of Your Diabetes Insider
This episode is sponsored by Gvoke HypoPen® (glucagon injection). Gvoke
HypoPen® is an emergency glucagon for very low blood sugar in a convenient
auto injector that is available in 2 pre-measured doses for adults and
children.
Note from Rob:
I have partnered with Gvoke® before, and I’ve been working with Xeris
Pharmaceuticals® since 2018 - I even interviewed their CEO back in March
2020. If you want to hear that interview with Xeris President & CEO, Paul
Edick, from March 2020, check out episode 143 of Diabetics Doing Things.
I’m also really careful not to promote products that I don’t personally use
and I have used
Gvoke HypoPen® for very low blood sugar before. I’ve told the story on this
podcast before and I am convinced that if you are on insulin, you should
have emergency glucagon around, just in case of a very low blood sugar, and
I use Gvoke HypoPen®. Gvoke shouldn’t be used in patients with
pheochromocytoma or insulinoma – visit gvokeglucagon.com/risk.
I also want to address that I will not promote pharmaceutical products
without the opportunity to promote patient assistance programs because if
my listeners can’t access glucagon, how can they use it to treat their very
low blood sugar? So, if you visit the savings and support tab on
GvokeGlucagon.com, you can get a $25 coupon for patients on commercial
insurance plans, and there is a contact form to fill out for people not on
commercial plans.

November 30, 2022 Episode 213 - Mental Health Series with Mary Mosier Part 4
For National Diabetes Awareness Month, we’re doing a special five-part
Mental Health series with friend of the pod, Mary Mosier.
This episode is Part 3: Grief
In this episode, Rob and Eritrea talk to Mary about:
* Its normal for grief to awaken all emotions not just sadness.
* There are stages to grief and cycling thru them is also a part of the
grief process, but It’s not a linear process for anyone.
* It’s important to acknowledge grief , but it’s normal to deny it.
Denial is often a way to cope.
* Stay aware of the things that nurture you, this is/can be different
for all people living with Diabetes. Staying hydrated, exercise,
sleep: these can all affect how you feel.
* There are times with Diabetes that we need extra help and extra
resources.
* Not everything happens for a reason, like a high blood sugar or a low
blood sugar, and that’s okay.
