This week on Life in Beta, we're thrilled to bring you the highly anticipated interview with the incredible Duncan Reid. Duncan's story is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From starting adventure racing to setting a goal of running 10 ultramarathons in 10 years, he's done it all while managing type 1 diabetes!

We dive deep into why Duncan began adventure racing, how he balances his blood glucose levels while pushing his body to the limit, and his philosophy on living life to the fullest. You'll hear about his personal experiences, the challenges he's faced, and the triumphs he's celebrated. Trust us, this episode is packed with motivation and practical insights for anyone living with diabetes or looking to take on new challenges.

In this episode, Carly gives us the lowdown on how different types of exercise affect blood glucose levels, and shares her tips for keeping them in check. We have a good rant about ketone strips expiring (just when you need them!) and Benjamin hilariously recounts his many misadventures with sharp objects.

Whether you're a fitness fanatic or just trying to stay on top of your numbers, we've got something for you.

Join us for a fun, informative, and laugh-out-loud episode as we navigate the lived reality of type 1 diabetes.

This week, we're diving into part two of everything we learned, longed for, loved, and loathed from the Australasian Diabetes Congress (ADC).

In this episode, Benjamin shares his many "prick of the week" candidates from ADC, and we have a special interview with Justine Cain, CEO of Diabetes Australia. Justine talks about their campaign to get insulin pumps and other tech publicly funded, and how you can help (see below). Plus, Benjamin brings us new insights about hypos (and the changes we hope it makes to getting your driver's licence form signed!).

And if ADC has been too much learning and not enough laughing, don't worry! We’ll return to our regular show format next week. For now, enjoy the blend of coffee machine anecdotes, personal experiences, and groundbreaking research that made this ADC unforgettable.

As mentioned in our interview with Justine Cain, you can help advocate for better funding for diabetes technology by sharing how it would improve your diabetes management and quality of life here: https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/issue/affordable-access-to-aid/
