The Life of a Low Girl | Ep. 2: T1D, Trust & New Tools

Teen diabetes drama? We’ve got thoughts. This week, we’re diving into one of the biggest transitions in life with type 1 diabetes: when parents start loosening the reins and teens start taking the wheel. (Terrifying for everyone involved.)We’re talking about the real stuff: driving with diabetes, sleepovers, sports, late-night snacks, forgotten boluses, independence, burnout, and those moments when parents are trying not to text, “What’s your blood sugar?” for the fifth time in an hour.We’re also chatting about Afrezza, why everyone’s talking about it, and how another tool in the diabetes toolkit could change the game for some teens and young adults.Whether you’re the teen asking for more freedom, the young adult figuring things out on your own, or the parent refreshing Dexcom Follow at 2 a.m., you’ll definitely find yourself in this conversation.Grab your favorite low snack and come hang out with us. We promise plenty of laughs, a little chaos, and at least a few moments that will have you saying, “Okay, I thought I was the only one.”The Life of a Low Girl podcast is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by MannKind.
