  • I have met him!!

    I met the host Ken Kniss in Rosemont Illinois at the breakthroughs t1d. He told me what diabetes burnout is. I have had it for so long and never realized that this is diabetes burnout. Thank you so much!

  • Annoying

    Just listened to #187, a podcast with a nutritionist who specializes in weight management using a CGM. The host rambled around aimlessly, enjoying hearing himself talk rather than interviewing his guest expert. Why does he go on and on about Physical therapists during this discussion about managing blood glucose?! Emily Cornelius politely did not interrupt him even though her time and expertise was wasted with his relentless mansplaining.

  • Great diabetes podcast with a diverse range of guests!

    Ken has such a great style of interviewing his guests that really allows each person to share their own experience of living with Diabetes. I love listening to it to expand my own understanding of how different people manage this disease in the way that works for them. Well done Ken! Keep up the good work!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#357: Teachers Took His Phone… Even Though It Say's Type 1 Diabetic - Ryan Bash
Q: What has been the most challenging part of transitioning to high school and managing diabetes there?
Dealing with subs and inconsistent adherence to the 504 plan, plus the responsibility of self-management without a nurse constantly monitoring; clear communication and preparation help mitigate these challenges.
#357: Teachers Took His Phone… Even Though It Say's Type 1 Diabetic - Ryan Bash
Q: What advice would you give to other kids living with diabetes in school today?
Don't let diabetes stop you from doing anything you want to do; approach it differently, be proactive, and advocate for yourself while maintaining respect in conversations with teachers and staff.
#322: Misdiagnosed, Dismissed, and Still Thriving - Ashley Sparks
Q: What was the biggest challenge you had in high school?
The biggest challenge was teachers perceiving health issues as excuses rather than legitimate medical concerns, making it difficult to navigate school with diabetes.
#320: From Pig Insulin to Inhaled Insulin - Adriana’s 35-Year Journey with T1D
Q: How was your experience with diabetes during pregnancy?
My first pregnancy was risky due to uncontrolled diabetes at the time, but my second pregnancy was much easier with a good health management system in place.
#320: From Pig Insulin to Inhaled Insulin - Adriana’s 35-Year Journey with T1D
Q: How did you deal with the condition mentally as a young child diagnosed with diabetes?
I felt frustrated and often thought it was unfair that I couldn't do certain things like my friends. I would ask my mom why I had diabetes and when it would go away.
