Ep.9: LIVE From FFL: Two 8's and a Pump Break
Recorded live at Friends for Life Orlando, this episode of The Life of a Low Girl brings the couch to the FFL stage for a conversation about inhaled insulin and life with type 1 diabetes. Joined by guest Low Girls Ava Fickling and Danica the Diabetic, we share personal experiences and talk about managing high blood sugars, sports, travel, school, growing independence, and taking a break from your pump. Expect honest conversations, practical takeaways, a few laughs, and the kind of real talk that happens when the T1D community comes together. #LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D
Ep.8: Hot Weather, T1D & What Actually Holds Up
Summer with T1D is cute in theory until your insulin is overheating, your sensor is peeling off, and everything in your diabetes bag feels like it’s one degree away from melting. In this episode of The Life of a Low Girl, we’re talking about the very real summer side of diabetes: insulin stability, stubborn adhesive, sweat, travel, pool days, and all the tiny things that make managing T1D in the heat feel like a full-time job. We’re sharing practical tips, honest frustrations, and the little things that help us survive the season without fully losing our minds. #LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D The Life of a Low Girl podcast is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by MannKind.
Ep. 7: Beyond the Basics: T1D Tools & Apps
There are so many diabetes tools, apps, gadgets, and “you have to try this” recommendations out there, but what actually helps? In this episode of The Life of a Low Girl, we’re talking about the T1D tools and apps that make daily life a little easier, the hacks people swear by, and the things that may not be worth the extra mental load. Basically, we’re sorting through the diabetes tech drawer together.

Ep.6: Summer, Sleepovers & Independence
Kids with T1D deserve the sleepovers, the summer freedom, the adventures, and the chance to just be kids. In this episode, we’re talking about how families navigate the balance between safety and independence: building confidence, making plans, trusting the people around you, and learning how to let go a little, even when it feels scary.

The Waiting Room: Living in the In-Between of T1D
What does it mean to be in Stage 1 or Stage 2 type 1 diabetes? What options are available today, and what breakthroughs may be coming tomorrow? Join the Low Girls as we talk through screening, early detection, delaying progression, and the evolving landscape of type 1 diabetes care. We'll tackle the big questions, share what we're learning, and discuss why the future of diabetes looks different than ever before.

Ep. 3: Life is Lived Off Label
Diabetes rarely fits inside neat clinical guidelines. This episode explores how real life often requires off-label thinking, improvisation, and trusting lived experience. The Life of a Low Girl podcast is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by MannKind.
The Life of a Low Girl | Ep. 2: T1D, Trust & New Tools
Teen diabetes drama? We’ve got thoughts. This week, we’re diving into one of the biggest transitions in life with type 1 diabetes: when parents start loosening the reins and teens start taking the wheel. (Terrifying for everyone involved.) We’re talking about the real stuff: driving with diabetes, sleepovers, sports, late night snacks, forgotten boluses, independence, burnout, and those moments when parents are trying not to text, “What’s your blood sugar?” for the fifth time in an hour. We’re also chatting about Afrezza, why everyone’s talking about it, and how another tool in the diabetes toolkit could change the game for some teens and young adults. Whether you’re the teen asking for more freedom, the young adult figuring things out on your own, or the parent refreshing Dexcom Follow at 2 a.m., you’ll definitely find yourself in this conversation. Grab your favorite low snack and come hang out with us. We promise plenty of laughs, a little chaos, and at least a few moments that will have you saying, “Okay, I thought I was the only one.” The Life of a Low Girl podcast is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by MannKind.

From first-timer nerves and favorite traditions to the friendships that span years and miles, we’re sharing what makes FFL feel like home.

Ep.10: The Life of a Low Girl LIVE: Happy Trails from FFL
Recorded live at Friends for Life Orlando during the closing keynote, this episode of The Life of a Low Girl is our love letter to the week we never want to end. Joined by fellow Low Girl and CWD’s Events & Programs Director, Ashlyn Mills, we’re recapping our favorite Friends for Life moments: the hallway hugs, the green and orange magic, the friendships, the laughter, the happy tears, and all the little things that make FFL feel like home. It’s a little emotional, a little silly, and very much a “how are we supposed to go back to real life now?” kind of episode. Happy trails from FFL, friends. #LifeOfALowGirl #lowgirlpod #type1diabetes #T1D
