type-1 diabetes

Their hands are tied.

Everybody would be fired if, if the American Diabetes Association tomorrow held a press conference and said, "Look, if you're pre-diabetic, Type 1 diabetic, Type 2 diabetic, you can- you do not follow any nutrition advice we've given you in the last 20 years.

You need to go to Dr. Berry's YouTube channel and eat the food that he tells you to eat if you'd like to reverse pre-diabetes or reverse Type 2 diabetes.

Or if you have Type 1 diabetes, if you'd like to have a normal hemoglobin A1c and not lose your legs and your eyes and your potency and wind up on dialysis.

Eat the food Dr. Berry tells you to eat.

But you're never ever gonna hear 'em say that because they are a literal servant, a captured servant to big food and big pharma.

Some of them are in person.

We recently started a chapter of a group called Grown Up T1Ds.

And this is an in-person group.

They're cropping up in various cities.

My name is Neil Greathouse.

This is your best T1D year.

And let me explain because this is the best deal in all of diabetes and it costs you nothing.

So Wednesday we met the side door.

Yeah.

So we have a connection that I've never m- met her, I don't think, but, but she's a Type 1 diabetic as well.

She is.

Yeah.

Yeah, which is great.

She's, she's using her platform to show that you can do anything you want in life while living with Type 1.

I'm very happy to see that.

Shout out Riley Arnold.

Hello, I'm Aaron Lohr, and this is the Endocrine News Podcast.

[Instrumental music] This year, the Endocrine Society held its 13th annual Type 1 Diabetes Fellows program.

The program provides advanced support to endocrine fellows as they begin their careers as practicing clinicians and diabetes experts.

The in-person and online resources include engaging in comprehensive education as well as career development opportunities for building knowledge, practical skills, and a lasting network of colleagues.

Well, can you walk us through some of the complications associated with diabetes in pregnancy?

Yeah.

So the first thing I wanna say is prior to the advent of intensive insulin therapy or really, like, before we had insulin, so thinking back, like, before 1921, pregnancy was really, really dangerous for people with diabetes, particularly people with Type 1 diabetes, um, who were the majority of people who had diabetes while they were of childbearing age.

Um, and so back then, having diabetes in, was an absolute contraindication to pregnancy, and even after having insulin available, the risks for both the mothers and the babies were, of mortality were, like, 50% or higher.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Hormones.

Today, we're talking about life with Type 1 diabetes, not just from the medical side, but what it's actually like to live with it every single day.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by blood sugars, frustrated by the mental load of diabetes management, wondered how to balance diabetes with things like work, exercise, relationships, or even pregnancy, this episode is going to be crucial for you to listen to.

I'm joined by Lauren Bongiorno.

She's the founder of Rizely Health and someone who has been living with Type 1 diabetes for many years.

Throughout her own experience and the work she does, she has helped thousands of families and patients.

She's become a trusted voice in the diabetes community, and it is my absolute pleasure to welcome her here today.

Tell us about your story, what led you into diabetes care and ultimately creating Rizely Health.

And that leads to really interesting interactions when he's trying to close out a game.

Kevin and I go through his origins playing Magic, how he navigates playing long tournaments as a Type 1 diabetic, which I don't think a lot of people know about him, um, how he brews and thinks about his favorite archetype, Storm.

And finally, we do a deep dive into his passion project, a deck list he likes to call Gaseos, um, which is a take on Rogrash that focuses on Storm versus the traditional Turbo Cradle strategy.

Um, that's all the announcements for this episode.

[laughs]

So one thing before we get into your 2026 season is I did want to ask you about...

So something I don't know if a lot of people know this about you, but you are, I believe, a Type 1 diabetic, correct?

Yes.
