| 0:00.0 | Welcome back, friends, to another episode of the Juice Box podcast. |
| 0:14.3 | Hello, I'm Shane. I'm 26 years old, and I've been living with type 1 diabetes for over 23 years now. |
| 0:25.1 | If you're new to type 1 diabetes, begin with the bold beginning series from the podcast. Don't |
| 0:30.4 | take my word for it. Listen to what reviewers have said. Bold Beginnings is the best first step. I learned |
| 0:36.7 | more in those episodes than anywhere else. |
| 0:39.4 | This is when everything finally clicked. People say it takes the stress out of the early days and replaces it with clarity. |
| 0:45.2 | They tell me, this should come with the diagnosis packet that I got at the hospital. |
| 0:49.5 | And after they listen, they recommend it to everyone who's struggling. It's straightforward, practical, and easy to listen to. |
| 0:56.5 | Bold Beginnings gives you the basics in a way that actually makes sense. |
| 1:01.6 | If you've ever heard a diabetes term and thought, okay, but what does that actually mean? |
| 1:06.4 | You need the Defining diabetes series from the Juice Box podcast. Defining diabetes takes all of those |
| 1:11.7 | phrases in terms that you don't understand and makes them clear. Quick and easy episodes. Find out |
| 1:18.0 | what bolus means, basil, insulin sensitivity, and all of the rest. There has to be over 60 episodes |
| 1:23.7 | of defining diabetes. Check it out now in your audio player or go to juicebox |
| 1:28.0 | podcast.com and go up into the menu. Today's episode is brought to you by Omnipod. We talk a lot about |
| 1:36.0 | ways to lower your A1C on this podcast. Did you know that the Omnipod 5 was shown to lower A1C? |
| 1:42.7 | That's right. Omnipod 5 is a tube-free automated insulin delivery |
| 1:46.6 | system, and it was shown to significantly improve A1C and time and range for people with type 1 diabetes |
| 1:53.0 | when they switched from daily injections. My daughter is about to turn 21 years old, and she has |
| 1:58.6 | been wearing an Omnipod every day since she was four. It has been a friend |
| 2:02.7 | to our family, and I think it could be a friend to yours. If you're ready to try Omnipod 5 for yourself or |
| 2:08.3 | your family, use my link now to get started. Omnipod.com slash Juicebox. Get that free Omnipod 5 |
