Pardon My Pancreas - Type 1 Diabetes with Matt Vande Vegte

“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.

I used to fear food and chase perfect numbers. Then I learned it’s not the food — it’s the framework.

When you understand how carbs, fats, and proteins actually affect your blood sugar, every meal becomes predictable.

You don’t need the perfect diet — you need the right formula.

Eat smart. Live free.

Burnout from T1D is real — I lived it. 

I followed every rule. Tracked every carb. Even became an Ironman. 

And still… I broke down. 

In my new video, I’m sharing 3 burnout moments that nearly wrecked my health — and how I finally found freedom without losing control.

When David stopped letting diabetes run his life, everything changed.  

From sleepless nights to 86% time in range — and the freedom to eat what he loves without fear.  

You can take back control, too.

When my insulin pump ran dry at Costco, I expected a spike… but my blood sugar stayed stable. That moment changed everything.

💡 Turns out, insulin isn’t the 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 tool.

In my latest video, I share how I use exercise, lifestyle, and the “Balancing Arrows” method to stay in range — and avoid panic.
