Welcome to episode 79 of the Juice Box Podcast. This episode as always is sponsored by

Insulate makers of the omnipod, the world's only tubeless insulin pump and I

really appreciate it. The podcast doesn't really get to exist without the sponsorship

so thank you OmniPOD.

This episode is with Kristen. Her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in January of 2016.

And we recorded this I think in May, so she was only five or six months into it when she recorded this so it was really cool over to come on and give the perspective of a very newly diagnosed mother

Also Kristen and her husband both lived with different autoimmune issues.

So this interesting turn of events is double interesting and triple interesting.

Also let me warn you, we had a of trouble with Kristen's Skype in the beginning so we switched to a phone call

So you won't hear any audio issues, but I was pretty bored by the time I was waiting for Kristen's phone call to connect and I saw

Basil, a little Basil log, and I then sang an impromptu song to Basil and I

want you to be prepared for the fact that I do not have a good

singing voice. The song was all about Basil and how I wanted him to be a good boy

but yet he snored through the entire episode and there's moments I can't even edit it out he's a snoring machine so I

apologize for that. Also please let's not forget that nothing you hear on the

Juice Box podcast should be considered advice, medical or otherwise.

Basil be a good boy.

Basil be a good boy.

Basil be a good boy.

Good boy, good boy, good boy, good boy, good boy,

good boy, good boy. Basil be a good boy.

All right, Kristen Skype was real wonky.
