S3E1 - First (and honest) Insulin Pump Experiences!

In this episode of Under the Insulin, we’re diving into the real and raw experiences of using an insulin pump—featuring host Emilee’s first time going on one after 31 years of having diabetes (and being denied by her previous endocrinologist).


We get into the highs, the lows, and the learning curve that comes with pumping: from the game-changing ability to suspend insulin to the struggles of bolusing correctly and dealing with stacking insulin, to the all-too-relatable habit of rage bolusing.


Whether you’re new to pumping, considering the switch, or just love hearing candid diabetes talk, this episode is for you!

S2E6 - How Diabetics Can Improve Their Relationship to Food & Body Image ft. Intuitive Eating Expert Katy Harvey, RD

Diabetes can make it so much harder to have a healthy relationship with food and our bodies – but it’s not impossible. 

Join hosts Emilee and Maryna as they have a spirited conversation with Katy Harvey, who is a Registered Dietitian and Intuitive Eating Expert.

We’ve got some funny stories, some interesting facts, and a lot of laughs.

Under the Insulin: A Type 1 Diabetes Podcast
S1E5 - Navigating the Healthcare System: A Type 1 Nurse's Perspective

Ever find that healthcare professional’s don’t seem to always get it, or that the T1D healthcare system is tough to navigate? Us too!


Nurse Maryna, one of our hosts who is not only a nurse with type one, but a nurse for type ones, is here to help us unpack the system.


She has some great advice on taking charge of your own health care as well as some valuable insights for healthcare providers working with people with T1D.

Under the Insulin: A Type 1 Diabetes Podcast
S1E4 - The Science Behind Finding a Cure for Type 1 Diabetes ft. Jasmine Maghera

Why don’t we have a cure for diabetes? What will it take?  We know T1D research is complex, but it may be even more so than we thought!


Today we get to talk to Jasmine Maghera, fellow ICD-er and type one who is hard at work as a PhD student in Alberta researching diabetes. 


Jasmine walks us through the latest developments in diabetes research and enlightens us as to why that promise of a cure in 5 years has not happened yet… 30 year later… 


There was also so much we did not know about diabetes science, including why it can vary so much (you'll be shocked when you find out!). Jas breaks it all down just like insulin breaks down sugar in the blood stream - we hope you enjoy!

Under the Insulin: A Type 1 Diabetes Podcast
S1E3 - Parenting a Child with Type 1 Diabetes ft. Cath Hall, mother of a T1D

Step into the shoes of a parent raising a child with Type 1 Diabetes. Cath Hall, a mother of twins (one of whom has T1D), offers a heartfelt glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of parenting with diabetes in the picture.


We were really interested to learn about Cath and Sarah’s experience but do want to note that one size does not fit all in diabetes care or in parenting! Cath has some great thoughts and we are excited to share them with you! This would be great to listen to as a family so you can explore what works best for you.
