In this episode, we chat through things you should leave the hospital with after a Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis. There are so many things we can't believe we didn't have leaving the hospital during our 4 diagnosis' or that no one ever mentioned to us that we believe every family should have...some of these being life saving items.

We created a checklist so you can easily reference all the items here:

In this episode, we chat through common diabetes vocab, terms, and slang words. There were so many words we had no idea the meaning of when we first started our T1D journeys, so we're covering the most frequently used ones, and some other slang words and terms you might come across or maybe some you've never heard of. Let us know if we missed any!

In this episode, Lisa shares how her son, Hudson, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 20 (9 years after her daughter Juniper was diagnosed)  by playing a silly little game at home. We'll see if they ever play that game again.

We chat about the the vast difference in catching a diagnosis early versus in DKA, going into a second diagnosis with a solid foundation of knowledge this time, how the hospital barely let them leave with a prescription for insulin, the difference in a toddler and adult diagnosis, the things they wish happened at their very first end appointment with T1D that lasted all of 20 minutes, and all the amazing things Hudson is doing despite living with T1D.

In this episode, Keary shares how she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 26 and how Zola was diagnosed 2 months later and 9000 miles a part and forever became a part of their family.

We chat about those early diagnosis days, living in a developing country with a brand new T1D diagnosis, adopting a daughter with T1D, and ultimately that there is still hope and joy amidst a diagnosis.

Welcome to the Spill the T1D podcast where we are spilling the tea about Type 1 Diabetes.

We're your hosts Keary + Lisa, best friends (because of diabetes), and we have FOUR T1D's between the two of us.

We’ll be sharing all things T1D like: our diagnosis stories from toddlers to teens to adults, finding community and reminding you that you’re not alone. We’ll share our evolving ways of managing diabetes (with and without technology), nutrition, managing stress and caregiver burnout especially with each of us having two T1D’s in a family, and ultimately finding hope and joy beyond a diagnosis. We have so much we’re excited to cover in future episodes! If there’s a topic you would love to see covered on our podcast, send us a message on Instagram.
