  Episode 123: Letter To Troy

  Sep 16, 202654 minS3

  Troy thought he was just getting tired from football, but it turns out it was Type 1 diabetes changing everything. Troy was 13, playing at Bristol City, when he suddenly couldn’t run, couldn’t eat, and couldn’t ignore the signs anymore. What looked like “just growing up” was actually a life changing diagnosis. Troy was on the edge of a diabetic coma before his dad pushed him to the hospital. From learning through trial and error to continuing his professional football career, becoming a PE teacher, and building a life rooted in community, Troy refused to let diabetes define him. His story is a reminder that diabetes isn’t just medical but it’s mental, emotional, and personal. Seeing someone who looks like you can make all the difference.

  Episode 122: I Just!

  Sep 11, 202644 minS3

  Type 1 diabetes can feel like a life sentence of science, math and relentless invisible trauma, but Yvonne shows what it looks like to turn that reality into community and hope. If you live with diabetes, love someone who does, or have ever felt alone in the chaos, this conversation will hit home fast. Raised in Indiana and diagnosed at just four years old, and also having a grandmother with T1D, Yvonne has spent nearly 29 years navigating the condition from childhood, through the middle school burnout years, into adulthood with CKD and a deep understanding of how diabetes rewires everyday life. She breaks down what most people miss about living with T1D, the emotional toll, the social misunderstandings, the difference between low and high symptoms over time, and why support from family, partners, and peers can be the difference between feeling isolated and surviving. Yvonne’s story is a reminder that community changes everything and that hope is still possible, even in the hardest times. Follow Yvonne on Instagram @bynomeansavg_

  Episode 121: One Night Out

  Sep 3, 20261h 2mS3

  On this episode we get to hear from Ryanne . Ryanne was diagnosed with T1D around February 2023, not too long after the passing of her grandfather. She breaks down what it was really like to learn she had type 1 diabetes at Howard University, why the symptoms were easy to miss, and how finding community changed everything. Ryanne opens up about the fear, confusion, and burnout that can come with a chronic diagnosis, especially when you are young and trying to keep up with school, friendships, and life on your own. She also shares the moment a routine doctor visit turned into a hospital stay, the misconceptions that make type 1 diabetes harder to recognize, and why representation matters so much when you are looking for proof that you can still thrive. Together we unpack the hidden mental load of managing T1D and the confidence that comes from learning to speak up for yourself. Ryanne is the kind of voice newly diagnosed listeners need right now: honest, grounded, and full of hope. If you are living with type 1 diabetes, supporting someone who is, or trying to make sense of a life changing diagnosis, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, informed, and a lot less alone.
