Abbreviated Podcast Version: This is a shortened podcast on this topic.
Anyone who has Type 1 Diabetes knows what a struggle it can be. It is a manageable condition but requires exceptional discipline, constant monitoring of blood glucose levels and planning. Staying healthy as a Type 1 Diabetic is a full time job in and of itself. It also requires knowledge of the food we eat, how it is digested and how it converts to carbohydrates. While diabetes has common traits, it also can vary from person to person depending on many factors, including weight, stress, general health, sleep cycles, diet, and general health. Even our insulin sensitivity can vary. Having access to technology such as a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an insulin pump can be the difference between getting by and living as a healthy diabetic. As a user of the Tandem X2 Insulin Pump & Dexcom G6 CGM I can honestly say it changed my life.
A few years ago when I discovered I required insulin to stay alive, it seemed like a devastating diagnosis. I was in denial, shock, and felt depressed. Once I got past those feelings I learned it can be managed. However I am one of the lucky ones, I had a close friend who is a Pharmacist with a specialty in diabetes management. Although he hadn't planned to, he became a personal coach and taught me so much. During this podcast I will share what I learned, and my own experiences on this journey as a Type 1 Diabetic. I am not an expert, but this podcast is intended to provide hope and support to anyone struggling with diabetes. My one tip to everyone is always insist on seeing an endocrinologist. You deserve an expert who understands your whole system. I'll share my story in this episode. -

Media research specialists have analyzed the impact of women leaders in social media and social apps. Studies show that women leaders are instrumental in the evolution of stereotypes and shifting demographic trends across multiple categories of social media networks. Women leaders have an impact on media, business, networking, advertising and entertainment. Data shows that women are more active than men on social media, in the number of hours per week, and levels are participation and engagement. Experts believe that since women typically adapt and embrace new technology more easily, they will continue to lead and foreshadow trends in the digital space, and in business. Unlike their male counterparts women typically are more expressive, communicative and willing to engage across multiple platforms and conversations. Inherently more willing to share and bond with friends and strangers in social space, women are leading change in the online space, which translates offline in a variety of ways, particularly supporting their local communities.
