About this listen
This week on We Are T1D, things get chaotic — Jack nearly loses his foot to a digger, Mike sticks a dead sensor back on during a hypo, and the lads chat about CGMs, Type 2s, and oats. From dark humour to serious takeaways, it’s one of the wildest episodes yet.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
🚜 Jack’s digger disaster and “Gollum Foot”
📉 Mike’s CGM fail and hypo brain logic
💬 Why more Type 2s are wearing CGMs
📊 Time in range wins & diet tweaks
🥣 The overnight oats vs. “overnight sandwich” debate
