About This EpisodeType 1 diabetes is not just a “blood sugar problem”, it’s a full-body system shift that most of us were never taught to understand. In this episode, we zoom out from the overly simplified version of T1D and connect the dots between the many physiological systems that are actually impacted when you have t1d, other than just not producing insulin.
