This week on We Are T1D, Mike and Jack take on the challenge of NOT saying the word “alright” (spoiler: it’s harder than it sounds! - but who said it most? Let us know in the comments/poll!). With plenty of laughs, they share real-life Type 1 diabetes struggles—from unexpected Libre sensor fails to birthday cake-induced blood sugar battles.
🩹 Sensor Struggles:Mike shares a rather unfortunate incident involving his Libre sensor, where he discovers a needle left in his arm. The duo discusses how common this mishap is and the importance of reaching out to manufacturers for quick replacements.
⚽ Weekend Adventures:While Mike's week was filled with work and a bit of chaos, Jack celebrated his birthday weekend with a surprise outing in London, complete with painting and plenty of food. They reflect on how activity levels can impact blood sugar management.
🍰 Birthday Indulgences:Jack admits to a weekend of indulgence, including a massive slab of cake, and how it affected his blood sugars. The conversation turns to the balance of enjoying life while managing diabetes and the inevitable guilt that sometimes comes with it.
🏆 Listener Wins of the Week:The guys celebrate the wins from their listeners, from nailing insulin doses at the cinema to successfully explaining diabetes to others. They highlight the importance of sharing victories, no matter how small.
