We chatted with Lindsay Cohen about the real-life chaos of type 1 diabetes (T1D)—the highs, the lows, and the stuff no brochure prepares you for. Plus, the importance of health equity and access to care.

Today, we got into a hot topic in the T1D world: the Twiist insulin pump. What we love, what we don’t, and where it actually fits among today’s insulin delivery options. No fluff. Just honest takes!

Lindsay also walked us through her DIY looping system and shared practical strategies for making diabetes management less overwhelming—especially for parents trying to keep life afloat.

This episode is packed with the kind of tips and truth every T1D household deserves! Tag a friend who should watch it in the comments.
