What to Do When “Authority Figures” Get Diabetes Wrong

March 19, 2024 10:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MB

Like it or not, some "authority figures" in the medical space get diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes, wrong. Whether it's a doctor, nurse, nutritionist, dietitian, professor, or someone in your family, it's important to know not only how to recognize when they're wrong, but also how to stand up for the truth when they do.

What's the history of type 1 diabetes since insulin was discovered in 1921? We have come a long way from animal-sourced insulin and needles that had to be sharpened after multiple uses.  Sometimes it's mind-boggling to think that T1D was a straight-up death sentence just over a hundred years ago. With that in mind, Jessie walks us through diabetes research and milestones decade by decade, including our own diagnoses.  What to do next... Leave a review on Apple Podcasts Join the Half-D...
