Suggest guests or get in contactHost: John Pemberton, RD Guest: Anjanee Kohli, RD MNutr2025 was a formative year for The Glucose Never Lies® Podcast. Not because everything went smoothly — but because repeated exposure to real-world problems forced clearer models, sharper questions, and fewer illusions.In this year-in-review episode, John Pemberton is joined by Anjanee Kohli — diabetes specialist dietitian, creative lead, and co-director at Glucose Never Lies — for an honest audit of what the podcast set out to do, what it actually delivered, where their thinking evolved, and where uncertainty remains.Together, they revisit the core themes that kept resurfacing across episodes in 2025: insulin timing and dose over tactics, the liver’s central role, exercise variability, device and algorithm trade-offs, accessibility, and the gap between theoretical optimisation and lived experience with type 1 diabetes.This conversation is not a highlights reel. It’s a reflective pause — stripping ideas back to what survived contact with reality, and clarifying what Glucose Never Lies is deliberately carrying forward into 2026.Read the full episode page, explore linked episodes, resources, and references: https://theglucoseneverlies.com/episode-28-2025-in-review/What this episode coversWhy 2025 required a shift from tactics to principlesWhat repeated real-world patterns taught us about insulin, exercise, and devicesWhere technology helps — and where trade-offs remain unavoidableEpisodes and resources worth revisiting depending on your current challengeWhat changed our minds, and what we’re still uncertain aboutWhat Glucose Never Lies is committing to — and leaving behind — in 2026Support GNL: https://buy.stripe.com/9B63cx4UO3KEdKC0Sp7Re00The Glucose Never Lies® is a registered trademark of The GNL Ltd.
