The Endocrinology Injustice: Why Your Doctor is Wrong About Type 1 Diabetes

"Your doctor has the textbook, but you have the owner's manual. When they dismiss your experience, they are ignoring the most important data point in the room: You."- Kylie Buckner, RN In this raw and unfiltered episode, Master’s-prepared nurse and “diabetes whisperer” Kylie Buckner sits down with her husband, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD (author of Mastering Diabetes), to call out a hard truth: People living with Type 1 diabetes are being gaslit, blamed, and failed by a system that is decades behind the science. Kylie shares what she sees on repeat with her Type 1 clients: endocrinologists who say “do it my way or else,” ignore lifestyle and insulin sensitivity, prescribe high-fat diets, and hold insulin access over patients’ heads. Cyrus breaks down the actual physiology of insulin resistance in Type 1, why high-fat diets (animal products, oils, processed fats) drive insulin resistance, and how outdated tools like fixed carb ratios and sliding scales keep people stuck on a blood glucose roller coaster. They also talk about the many unaddressed variables that affect blood glucose—hormones, temperature, stress, altitude, illness, alcohol—and why refusing to consider these is, at this point, negligence. Most importantly, they speak directly to Type 1 warriors: You are not a “bad diabetic.” You are not the problem. You have been given bad medicine—and there is a better, evidence-based way.
