T1D Barbie & Breaking Boundaries with Mike & Jack
T1D Barbie is finally here — complete with pump, CGM, and a tiny phone to check blood sugars. But Mike and Jack can’t help but ask… where’s the Action Man with a hypo kit?
This week, the lads dive into the media buzz surrounding the new diabetic Barbie, the importance of representation, and why it means so much to the younger T1D generation.
Jack opens up about why he’s been off-grid and how he’s learning to protect his mental health, while Mike shares updates on launching his new fitness brand, FITT1D, and how his core challenge is helping with insulin sensitivity (and posture!).
Expect the usual chaotic catch-up, gym banter, sensor fails, emotional highs and lows, and some real talk about how grief, stress, and even good days can mess with your numbers.
🎙️ Honest, hilarious, and always relatable — this one’s for the T1D community we’re proud to be part of.
