Ever watch your CGM climb and think, “I did EVERYTHING right… why is it still spiking?”
Same. And what I learned shocked me. Your A1C doesn’t tell the whole story — your blood vessels do.
Let’s break down what’s really happening during a spike (no fear tactics, just truth) and how to protect your body long-term.

Tried… failed… tried again. For years it felt like surviving, not living.
But Lindsay finally asked, ‘Why not me?’
Why can’t I have stable blood sugars and a life without fear?
One step, one mindset shift, one win at a time — she’s proving she can.

Every month feels like Diabetes Awareness Month when you’re living with type 1. For years, I was fighting blind—guessing, struggling, and trying to survive the highs and lows.
That’s why I went on live TV to say what I wish someone had told me: you’re not broken, you just haven’t been shown your formula yet.
If you’re tired of the chaos, or if someone you love has T1D, this interview will open your eyes to what life with type 1 really looks like—and what real freedom can feel like.

This National Diabetes Awareness Month, I had the chance to sit down with Fox 5 News to talk about what life with type 1 diabetes is really like—the unseen struggles, the misunderstandings, and the hope most people never hear about.
If you’re newly diagnosed or you’ve been fighting this for years, I want you to know this: blood sugar chaos isn’t your fault, and you can take your life back.

Living with Type 1 diabetes isn’t just numbers and insulin for me—it’s the highs, lows, stress, and constant decisions behind every meal, workout, and night of sleep.
In this interview, I share how I went from feeling controlled by my blood sugars to becoming an Ironman athlete and bestselling author by learning my own blood sugar formula—and how you can do the same.

Most people only see the blood sugar graph… but not the battles behind every number.
This National Diabetes Awareness Month, Matt goes live on KUSI News to reveal what life with Type 1 really looks like—and how
thousands are learning to MASTER it, not just manage it.

“I was told I’d be dead in 10 years.
I stopped checking my sugars, stopped caring for myself, and felt embarrassed every time someone saw my devices.
I didn’t trust my own body… and that was the hardest part.”
In this episode, we unpack what it’s like to heal from that mindset:
How diabetes affects your self-esteem, your identity, your relationships, and the way you see your body.
And more importantly—how to flip the script and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
If diabetes ever made you feel ‘less,’ this conversation is exactly what your heart needs today.
