In this deeply personal episode of The Urgent Lows with Palmr, “Secrets I Kept About My Type 1 Diabetes in High School,” Rebecca and Nick sit down with Jisel, a T1D warrior who opens up about her diagnosis at age 15 and the emotional toll of hiding her condition during some of the most vulnerable years of her life.

Diagnosed in high school and mismanaged for a year without insulin, Jisel’s story reveals the confusion, shame, and isolation many teens with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) silently endure. She shares how she concealed her insulin pump like a secret, struggled with body image and identity, and was once even rejected for being open about her diagnosis. Her vulnerability sheds light on the mental and emotional layers of growing up with T1D that often go unspoken.

Now a passionate advocate and mom of two, Jisel reflects on how far she’s come—and how she’s turning her story into strength for the next generation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt alone in their diagnosis, especially teens, parents, and caregivers navigating the complex emotional terrain of adolescence with T1D.

Filled with humor, hard truths, and hard-earned wisdom, this conversation is a reminder that even our most hidden struggles can become our greatest sources of purpose.

In this eye-opening episode of The Urgent Lows with Palmr, "The Truth Behind the Cure: What They're Really Working On," Rebecca and Nick share an inside look at their visit to the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) in Miami—where leading scientists are actively working toward a Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) cure. If you've ever searched "is there a cure for type 1 diabetes," "how close are we to curing T1D," or "T1D research update," this episode delivers the raw truth and hopeful progress you’ve been craving.

After receiving countless comments like "there's never going to be a cure" and "it's all big pharma," Rebecca and Nick wanted answers for their kids and for the entire T1D community. Through behind-the-scenes access, they met scientists and researchers—many of them parents or patients themselves—who are emotionally and professionally invested in a cure. Learn what setbacks they’ve faced, how far they've come, and what still lies ahead in clinical trials and approval processes.

This candid conversation also peels back the emotional layers of being a T1D caregiver: the exhaustion, the daily battles, and the desperate hope. Rebecca and Nick talk openly about the realities of parenting two children with T1D, their ongoing brand mission, and why choosing optimism over cynicism is a radical act of self-care and resilience.

If you're seeking truth, hope, and community around the future of diabetes care, this episode is a must-listen. Share it with fellow parents, caregivers, and anyone who needs a deeper understanding of what the T1D fight is truly about.
