Pardon My Pancreas - Type 1 Diabetes with Matt Vande Vegte

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 real...

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.

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 ...

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

Eat smart. Live free.
