Friends, hello, this is episode 554 of the Juice Box podcast, and I am here to welcome you to it.

I hope you guys know me well enough by now to know that I would not bring you CREP, understand what I'm saying?

It's a great conversation with Katie, and I want to give you a little teaser about it, but if I'm being completely honest, I'm rushing to get these episodes together.

My mom's having a little bit of a health issue, and I need to get these up on the internet for you, so they arrive when you expect them to, but I don't have a ton of time.

So Katie's cool, she has type 1 diabetes, she's had it for a long time, she's going to talk to you about a bunch of stuff.

If I'm remembering correctly, she was pregnant during this, and yes, indeed I have a follow up email from her to let you know how it's going or how it went.

And I mean, listen, trust me, this is a great conversation, you're going to spend the next hour absolutely enjoying yourself with your headphones on.

And if you want to keep somebody in your thoughts today, my mom's name is Beth.

All right. Well, hi. My name is Kate. I am 38 years old.

And should I just go through a little brief synopsis of my diabetes history?

I, you know, I think it's time for me to come clean. I love screwing with people and just being like, go introduce yourself.

Because I'm so interested to see who will like some people are very worried about the content. Some people are worried about saying too little too much. I'm all fascinated by it.
