  • Short Film re T1D

    That night low Nicole mentioned sounds like a compression low. Would have been good to at least mention that as a possibility.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Award-winning Bluegrass Musician Talks T1D Craziness on Tour
Q: How has touring affected your management of diabetes compared to being home?
Touring introduces variability in meals, activity, and timing, so being flexible with insulin and using CGMs helps manage the unpredictable on-road lifestyle.
Award-winning Bluegrass Musician Talks T1D Craziness on Tour
Q: What was it like growing up with diabetes before CGMs and modern insulins?
It was a very different and challenging era with less energy and fewer tools, making daily management feel more intuitive and reliant on experience and parental support.
Award-winning Bluegrass Musician Talks T1D Craziness on Tour
Q: How do you manage your blood sugar when you're about to go on stage?
I adjust by keeping higher blood sugars beforehand if needed, rely on quick-access liquids on stage, and use monitoring tech to stay alerted without being overwhelmed by alarms.
He's Been Cured After 36 Years with T1D
Q: What were the main risks and what does the thymoglobulin step involve?
Thymoglobulin is a strong immune-modulating step used before transplant to reduce immune rejection risk, which requires hospital time and concomitant steroids, creating infection risk and the need for protective precautions.
He's Been Cured After 36 Years with T1D
Q: What does it mean to be 'cured enough'?
It means being free from daily concerns about lows and highs, gain in functional freedom for activities like exercise and travel, but still maintaining caution and continuing treatment to protect transplanted cells.
