Thanks Amber for always keeping it Real and providing a safe space to talk about diabetes and all it entails on a minute by minute basis.
So refreshing to hear the always positive spin and humor “injected” in each episode. Nothing better than to hear the real diabetes stories from real people living with it day to day. It’s inspiring to see (and hear!) your commitment to helping is all live our best lives with diabetes. Cheers!
Listening to pod 90, just wanted to say hi and make a few comments. I'm type 1 for 22 years now, came off a pump 18 months ago. I am SDI - tresiba once a day, and afrezza for bolus.. it is great, both the tresiba and afrezza - no stacking!! the freedom from devices, and IOB is really nice... look into it! Also, Mark is correct, atm, no option for driect to watch on Dexcom. But I am sure that isn't too far off.
nice pod, keep up the good work!
Amber has done an outstanding job of creating community through the podcast. She interviews such a wide variety of folks who all have such different - but similar - relationships to diabetes. It's an insightful podcast for anyone, and definitely makes you feel like engaging more, which is always a good goal. Thank you for continuing to bring such outstanding content to us all!
