In this episode, I sit down with Renee Rayles, former Atlanta TV host, actor, and creator of the Hey T1D YouTube channel. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just three years ago, Renee shares her powerful story of how working for diabetes companies like Abbott Diabetes Care equipped her with life-saving knowledge before her own diagnosis.

Renee talks about how her training, reading Think Like a Pancreas, and recognizing the signs led her to request the right tests, ultimately getting the correct Type 1 diagnosis that many adults often miss. From navigating the challenges of dosing insulin to advocating for affordable insulin for all, Renee offers valuable insights on living well with T1D.

Tune in to hear Renee's incredible journey, her tips on self-advocacy, and the importance of empowering yourself with knowledge when managing Type 1 diabetes! Connect with Renee at Hey T1D on social media and her YouTube channel.
