Type 1 Diabetes

About Type 1 Diabetes

Living with type 1 diabetes means thinking about blood sugar all day, and many people come to DrTalks looking for ways to make that easier. Blood sugar swings, high insulin needs, worries about long-term effects on the eyes and heart, managing a child's diagnosis, and constant fatigue are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past insulin. Type 1 diabetes is tied to the immune system, inflammation, cholesterol and heart health, and your vision. You'll find conversations on a plant-based approach to managing diabetes, how diabetes affects the eyes, endocrinology for kids and families, and research on stem cells and regenerative medicine. Doctors, endocrinologists and nutrition experts explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from continuous glucose monitoring to cardiometabolic and lipid panels, and what helps, from insulin and a whole-food, plant-rich diet to movement, better sleep and wearable tracking.
