Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

Hormones don’t get talked about enough in the Type 1 diabetes world — especially male hormones.

In this live episode, I sit down with my good friend and colleague Type 1 Diabetic, registered dietitian and functional nutrition expert Kelly Schmidt to unpack testosterone, cortisol, thyroid health, sleep, labs, intimacy, and the systemic impact hormones have on blood sugar, energy, and quality of life.

This conversation goes far beyond “low T.”

This episode reinforces a powerful truth:
Type 1 diabetes is not just a pancreas condition — it’s a systems condition.

If you’ve been feeling fatigued, burned out, low energy, low drive, or just “off,” this episode will give you language and direction for your next conversation with your healthcare team.

Important Resources We Discussed:

• Magnesium Glycinate & Other Impactful
• Lab Panels - interpreted with a t1d lens (Kelly reads the labs and then explains the results in great detail.)
