This week, one of the pioneers of the DIY movement is turning her attention to exercise. Dana Lewis is partnering with other researchers to create a tool to help you make better and easier decisions around whatever workout you choose. There’s a lot of variability here – big difference between say, weight lifting and long distance running – so this is no easy task. Dana will explain the tools they’re using, the big goals here, and we get to catch up about what she’s using these days to manage her life with T1D which now includes ultramarathoning.

Let's talk about driving with diabetes! Getting a driver’s license as a teenager comes with enough challenges without type 1, but letting your child with T1D get behind the wheel is stressful, to say the least! I’m sharing what worked for us and expert advice that may help you and tips to let technology be your friend in the car.

This is an excerpt of Stacey's book, "Still the World's Worst Diabetes Mom." It's the second book in her series. You can learn more about the books here on Amazon or on our website.

Learn more about Moira McCarthy's book that Stacey mentions here.

This week, addressing something that half of all people with diabetes experience but that there is woefully little information and study about. Why is there so little study about periods and type 1 diabetes? We’re talking to two organizations who are teaming up to change that – but they need your help. We’re talking about Tidepool's Period Project.

This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.

You'll hear from Martina Rothenbühler, project leader data sciences and data protection officer at DCB, and Maya Friedman, founder of The Period Project at Tidepool.
