Omnipod is the worlds only tubeless insulin pump
sponsored post
November is Diabetes Awareness month and there are a lot of pretty compelling reasons to choose OmniPod® for your insulin needs, starting with the freedom you'll experience. Then there's the convenience and the control. OmniPod gives you or your child the freedom to do what you want, when you want; sleep in, exercise, and just live life on your own terms, because you don’t want to be tethered to your insulin schedule or a pump.
The Juicebox Podcast is proud to be sponsored by Insulet, the makers of Arden's insulin pump!
The best way to understand OmniPod® is to try it yourself. So get a free Demo Kit, including a sample, non-functioning Pod, by going to www.myomnipod.com/demo and see what you think. There's no obligation.

#34 Jenna is Eighteen and Already Amazing
Jenna is an eighteen year old college student who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of thirteen. To say that Jenna has 'it' together is, well, the understatement of all understatements. Seriously, I hope my kids turn out half as well. Heck, I wish her parents raised me....
"The interesting thing about (having) diabetes is that you start to understand other people's problems more clearly..."
Jenna talks about her diagnosis and how her mom handled the life change. Find out about decisions that she's made on her own to help her blood glucose levels and much more. Listening to Jenna will leave you comforted if you're the parent of a child with type 1 and perhaps inspired if you are living with it yourself.
Check Jenna out on Instagram, she's at diabetestips and look for a guest blog post from her soon on Arden's Day. I need a kid to explain this Instagram thing to me, I'm apparently not doing it well.
Undiagnosed hypothyroidism in people with type 1 diabetes can quietly wreak havoc — slowing growth, dropping blood sugars, and draining energy.
