    Omnipod 5 or MyLife Ypsopump Loop? My real world insulin pump experience
    2025/12/04
    Trying to figure out which insulin pump might work best for your needs as a person with type 1 diabetes isn't always easy.

    With more availability comes more choice, which is a great thing. I've now used both the Omnipod 5 and MyLife Loop Ypsopump CamAPS hybrid closed loop systems, so today's episode is a little deep dive into the two based on my real world experience.

    I chat through some of the similarities and differences as I've found them, from exercise to tubing to changing the pump and alarms, speaking from my personal perspective about how they both fit into my lifestyle as someone living with type 1 diabetes. If you're considering one of these insulin pumps, or a hybrid closed loop system in general, you may find this epsiode useful!

  • From injecting in school toilets to becoming a proud type 1 diabetic with Ruby Valentino

    From injecting in school toilets to becoming a proud type 1 diabetic with Ruby Valentino
    2025/11/27
    If you’re a fan of Disney and you live with type 1 diabetes, you might just have come across today’s guest. Ruby Valentino is an actor and singer, and to date she has amassed over 2 million likes on TikTok alone on her path of tuneful advocacy, inspiring others and reworking a few classic disney songs with a type 1 twist along the way.

    But for a long time Ruby’s diabetes was far from the spotlight, and in this episode we discuss how she used to hide in the toilets to inject after her diagnosis aged 13, and her struggles to talk about her feelings.

    In this chatty episode, we talk about becoming a proud diabetic and a role model for young type 1s, acting school, going viral and using negative comments as fuel to keep making content, finding ingenious places to put your insulin pump, the perks of being a type 1 partner you may not have thought of, and how type 1 diabetes can help you wean out the people that don't deserve a place in your life!

  • The best type 1 diabetes resource you've never heard of with diabetes educator John Pemberton

    The best type 1 diabetes resource you've never heard of with diabetes educator John Pemberton
    2025/11/20
    Please note this episode of Type 1 on 1 contains honest discussion of severe depression at around 1'08", including suicidal thoughts.

    No matter how long you’ve been living with or close to type 1 diabetes, it remains an incredibly complex condition to understand. And while there’s a wealth of information out there to dig into, knowing what to pay attention to can be just as daunting.

    John Pemberton is a diabetes technology consultant, children’s dietician, researcher and has been living with type 1 diabetes himself for around 20 years.

    So if you’re looking for research-backed information about the right insulin pump, want to know why 20 minutes of walking is the magic key to a stubborn high glucose reading, or you just need to start with the basics without getting overwhelmed, his diabetes education platform The Glucose Never Lies could be the answer.

    It was created after his young son Jude tested positive for diabetes antibodies, and when it comes to distilling complicated diabetes information and making it make sense, John is a master of the craft.

    In this episode we cover an incredible amount - from the professional, including his work with newly diagnosed families, the latest in diabetes research and his love of continuous glucose monitoring, to the deeply personal, including how years of undiagnosed ADHD led to severe depression and suicidal thoughts. After getting the right treatment in July 2025, John has found renewed purpose in taking The Glucose Never Lies to the next level.

    Type 1 diabetes embarrassment, dating, travel and more - World Diabetes Day Q&A
    2025/11/13
    Oh hey, it's World Diabetes Day 2025.

    I thought I'd take the opportunity to do a little solo episode based on some questions you sent in, in the spirit of having a little chat about the very real and often ridiculous stuff we go through regularly as people with type 1 diabetes, but that we don't often get to speak about.

    I talk a bit about type 1 diabetes and the workplace, then there's some travel chat, and then we get to the good stuff thanks to a question about type 1 diabetes embarrassment. Where do we begin...

    Is AI a superpower for type 1 diabetes management? With Dropbox's VP of Product & Growth Morgan Brown
    2025/11/06
    ‘Try the tools with curiosity and see where it takes you.’

    Today’s guest is Morgan Brown, VP of Product & Growth for AI at Dropbox. Morgan has spent his career helping world-renowned brands like Meta and Shopify unlock company growth, but he’s recently put his AI expertise to work in a specific area of his personal life.

    Morgan has been living with type 1 diabetes for the last 20 years. His most recent side project CarbScan, which uses AI to estimate carbs from a photo of your plate, was built for his young son Brooks, who also lives with the condition.

    In this episode we dig into how CarbScan works, how the world of product software translates to diabetes technology, and Morgan explains how to get started with AI as a tool for diabetes management with a view to faster, deeper knowledge and some all important time-saving.

  • 'Life should be about my family, not my diabetes' with Richard Dixon

    'Life should be about my family, not my diabetes' with Richard Dixon
    2025/10/30
    Today’s guest Richard Dixon has been living with type 1 diabetes for nearly 40 years.

    Diagnosed with the condition at the age of 2, Richard has spent a lot of his life in fear of his next injection due to a debilitating fear of needles. Every mealtime would cause huge amounts of worry, and the multiple daily injections he had no choice but to take steadily impacted every aspect of his life.

    Like so many people, Richard believed that insulin pumps were huge, bulky and incompatible with his lifestyle. He's been amazed to discover that this is not the case, and the changes he's experienced in the last couple of years are nothing short of incredible, transforming life for not only himself, but his young family too.

    With a new found confidence and what he describes as more freedom to live his life, Richard has started to share his story, to make sure other people aren't left struggling in the same way.

  • 'Go through the burnout, but come back. You owe it to yourself to come back' with Sane Mazibuko

    'Go through the burnout, but come back. You owe it to yourself to come back' with Sane Mazibuko
    2025/10/23
    Sane Mazibuko’s introduction to type 1 diabetes was waking up in hospital after collapsing as a 6-year-old. But as she tells us in this heartfelt episode, being told what to do to manage a health condition is not the same as being told why or how.

    Growing up in Durban, South Africa, Sane had moved across the country as an adult before she spoke to her first endocrinologist, and after years of confusing and isolating experiences, she eventually found the support team that allowed her to be honest about her condition.

    29 years into life with type 1 diabetes, Sane now uses the information and experience she’s gathered to help others in South Africa and beyond to better understand the life it’s possible to live with the condition, from eating the same foods as everyone else to workplace support, to coming back from burnout. As she says on her social media, Sane’s decision to ‘choose softness daily’, is helping her move through the challenges that type 1 diabetes endlessly presents.

    Sane also talks poignantly about educating her young daughter about her mum’s diabetes, including being able to understand Sane’s CGM readings <3
