"I can manage my Type 1 diabetes with less sugar": Ty
December 7, 2025
In this episode, I’m chatting with Ty, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was just 8 years old.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the pancreas stops making insulin, so the body can’t regulate blood sugar on its own and needs insulin from injections or a pump to survive.
Ty takes us behind the scenes of what that has really looked like: from massive early insulin pumps, constant injections, organ transplants, and dialysis, to the medical tech that’s helped him survive and thrive.
We talk about sugar, carbs, food, mindset, and what it’s actually like to live with a condition people can’t see but that affects every single part of his day.
