The Stress of Watching People with T1D Get Cured

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Diabetes Nerd Podcast, Tara Mayo and I talk with Dr. Beth Braun about the parts of type 1 diabetes (T1D) that people rarely see.  Beth shares what it’s like to hit 40 mg/dL twice in one night, how severe lows can affect the body and mind long after they’re treated, and why people with diabetes need support instead of judgment. Watch this episode for an honest conversation about diabetes burnout, relationships, self-advocacy, cure research, and the emotional work of managing blood sugar every day.  We also discuss what family members, friends, and partners can do to offer meaningful support—and why realistic hope matters for the future of T1D treatment.
