Episode Details

In this episode, I sit down with Lysianne Jones—mom, global traveler, lifelong learner, and passionate advocate for better diabetes care. With over 25 years of experience living with Type 1 diabetes, Liz brings a unique perspective shaped by both personal experience and a career at the intersection of life sciences, healthcare, and technology.

What we cover:

• Liz's journey from her diagnosis at age 12 to thriving as a mom of two
• The evolution of diabetes tech and how it's changed her day-to-day life
• Managing T1D through teenage years, pregnancy, and hormone shifts
• The impact of devices like the Omnipod insulin pump

• Why advocacy, self-education, and community support matter

Liz's story is one of resilience, adaptability, and the power of staying curious. Whether you're newly diagnosed or decades in, you'll find encouragement and practical insight in this thoughtful conversation.
