We start with some classic outtakes, including a hilarious debate on how to pronounce HbA1c. Is it Hab one c or HBA one c? We finally get there in the end, but not without a lot of laughs.
Our outtakes also feature some classic banter about blood sugar levels, annoying family members, and the joys of dynamic mics. We even touch on the absurdity of calling your HbA1c anything other than your average. What's your average, bruv?
Next, we dive into this week's listener story. It's a bit naughty, so if you're a child, maybe skip this one. Our anonymous listener shares their experience of starting an OnlyFans during lockdown. The story takes a hilarious turn when a subscriber mistakes their insulin pump for a new type of vibrator. The listener plays along, leading to some very funny misunderstandings.
This episode is packed with laughs, relatable moments, and a reminder that we all deal with ignorance about our chronic condition.

The episode kicks off with the guys sharing some candid moments, from Jack's sweet tooth dilemma to Mike's hypo-induced antics. The outtakes reveal the unfiltered side of living with Type 1 Diabetes, including a surprise appearance by Zoe, who dramatically alerts Jack about his rising blood sugars. The banter continues with discussions about hypo treats, the effects of fibre, and the peculiarities of shredded wheat.
But it's not all laughs and giggles. This week's listener story, submitted by Christina, takes centre stage. Christina recounts her wedding day, where a rage bolus led to a hypo during her vows. Her husband, quick to notice the signs, saved the day with some dextrose, turning a potentially stressful moment into a memorable and heartwarming story. It's a testament to the importance of support and understanding in managing T1D.

Jack kicks things off with his win of the week – celebrating his fifth wedding anniversary with a weekend full of food, drinks, and live music at Pub in the Park. From enjoying performances by Boyzlife and DJ sets by Vernon Kay and Kimberly Wyatt, to indulging in free samples of gin, ale, and snacks, it’s a festival experience worth recommending.
Mike shares his win of achieving 83% in-range blood sugars for the week, attributing his success to consistent gym sessions and the MyFitnessPal app. The hosts discuss the importance of tracking macros and the benefits of using such apps for managing diabetes.
However, not everything is smooth sailing. Jack recounts a frustrating hospital appointment where he felt unfairly criticised for running his blood sugars "too tight." Despite achieving 93% in-range, his nurse focused on the 2% lows, leading to a heated exchange. This discussion highlights the importance of constructive feedback and understanding the lived experience of diabetes.
Mike’s struggle this week revolves around resisting the temptation of share bags of crisps and popcorn, while Jack introduces a new hypo treat – honey roasted cashews with cinnamon, discovered at the festival.
The episode wraps up with the 'Listener Wins' segment, celebrating the community’s triumphs, from improved in-range percentages to smashing gym sessions and even winning at crazy golf. Whether you're looking for motivation, a good laugh, or just a sense of connection, this episode has it all.
