They kick things off with a daughter-sized roast, proving that even the closest family members aren’t safe from a bit of playful banter. But it's not just laughs—our hosts tackle real struggles like dealing with iffy insulin, the relentless grind of burnout, and the perplexing puzzle of post-meal spikes.

From the practicality of insulin checks to the perplexing choices around insulin types, the guys dish out advice with their signature blend of humor and frankness. They explore the mental marathon of managing T1D, the art of pre-bolusing, and the importance of diet, all while sharing relatable stories that'll have you nodding in agreement and chuckling at their candor.

But it's not all about the challenges. The episode is peppered with listener wins, celebrating everything from in-range victories to the heartwarming tale of a diabetic goalie's lucky save. And, of course, there's the usual dose of Mike and Jack's antics, including a Fanta mix-up, a cat that's more of an alarm clock than pet, and a frothy tea fiasco that'll leave you in stitches.

Whether you're looking for solidarity, a good laugh, or some T1D wisdom, this episode delivers. So get comfy, and tune in for another unforgettable installment of We Are T1D: Type 1 Diabetes.
