Can you imagine waking up one day and no longer needing insulin? No longer worrying about how many carbs are in a meal? No longer fretting over whether you'll go low during exercise? No longer overthinking every little thing because of type 1 diabetes (T1D)?

It sounds nice, but it also feels unimaginable to most people.

But not Chris Pacheco—he's living proof that a cure is on its way. (It might already be here!) After 36 years of living with T1D, Chris no longer has to live the same way because of his participation in the Eledon Clinical Trial.

Most people with diabetes don’t realize how dramatically technology can improve blood sugar management until they experience it firsthand.

Sami Parker, a pediatric registered nurse (RN) living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for 13 years, shares how switching to the Sequel Twiist insulin pump and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), such as the Freestyle Libre 3+, has transformed her daily life and improved her blood sugar stability.

In this episode, Sami recounts her journey from being anti-pumper to loving her Twiist insulin pump, thanks to its unmatched accuracy, occlusion detection, and customizable features that fit her spontaneous lifestyle and intense work schedule.

She explains how these tools help her maintain over 90% time-in-range (TIR), even during night shifts and demanding days, and why she finally feels she has power over her diabetes.

Before Katie Beth Hand was cured of type 1 diabetes (T1D), she carefully evaluated everything before each meal. Over the course of 13 years living with T1D, she had to make at least 200 extra decisions per day about simple tasks like eating, exercising, and sleeping.

But today, the only thing she has to worry about at mealtime is "what looks good?" This feels unimaginable to people with T1D—a true mic drop moment—but Katie is charting new territory.

In this episode of the Diabetes Nerd Podcast, she shares her current A1C, how she manages her daily life, which checkups are needed, and the process of "becoming undiabetic" after participating in Eledon's clinical trial to cure T1D.

One unexpected benefit? People have even started telling her she looks better! You would too if your body controlled your A1C for you.
