Episode 123: Letter To Troy
Troy (https://www.instagram.com/troywalters9/?__pwa=1) thought he was just getting tired from football, but it turns out it was Type 1 diabetes changing everything. Troy (https://www.instagram.com/troywalters9/?__pwa=1)was 13, playing at Bristol City, when he suddenly couldn’t run, couldn’t eat, and couldn’t ignore the signs anymore. What looked like “just growing up” was actually a life changing diagnosis. Troy was on the edge of a diabetic coma before his dad pushed him to the hospital.
From learning through trial and error to continuing his professional football career, becoming a PE teacher, and building a life rooted in community, Troy refused to let diabetes define him. His story is a reminder that diabetes isn’t just medical but it’s mental, emotional, and personal. Seeing someone who looks like you can make all the difference.

Episode 122: I Just!
Type 1 diabetes can feel like a life sentence of science, math and relentless invisible trauma, but Yvonne (https://www.instagram.com/bynomeansavg_/?__pwa=1) shows what it looks like to turn that reality into community and hope. If you live with diabetes, love someone who does, or have ever felt alone in the chaos, this conversation will hit home fast. Raised in Indiana and diagnosed at just four years old, and also having a grandmother with T1D, Yvonne has spent nearly 29 years navigating the condition from childhood, through the middle school burnout years, into adulthood with CKD and a deep understanding of how diabetes rewires everyday life. She breaks down what most people miss about living with T1D, the emotional toll, the social misunderstandings, the difference between low and high symptoms over time, and why support from family, partners, and peers can be the difference between feeling isolated and surviving. Yvonne’s story is a reminder that community changes everything and that hope is still possible, even in the hardest times.
