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
