It’s true - I was scared to take my insulin (and sometimes… didn’t) for a number of reasons.In today’s episode I share a few vulnerable stories (including my superstar T1D sister’s story) about how I went from nervous about lows and highs to living fearlessly with diabetes…Oh, and I’m redefining “fearless” - you’ll get a kick out of what that word ACTUALLY means to me.Ultimately, diabetes DID hold me back (and it was rooted in fear), but a recent 60 mile bike ride and mile and a half swim swi...

The Type 1 Diabetes Death Sentence

Forced experimentation: I took a new insulin that I’d never had before out of desperation…If diabetes has taught me one thing, it’s the skill of adaptation (and “rolling with it”).I didn’t plan on running out of insulin, definitely not taking a mystery insulin in the middle of the jungle, and certainly not the bonus lesson that a stumbled across with a blood sugar at 250 haha.It was a rough day filled with opportunity to learn from mistakes, and I hope that today’s episode allows you to learn...
