    Best A1c ever thx to the podcast
    I had never listened to a podcast before & just followed the Facebook group for a while, but once I started listening, I gained insight & skills to apply to managing my blood glucose much better than ever, & without the stress of micromanaging. I am down to a 6.0 & honestly believe I can do even better than that! I have learned way more here than anywhere else & it is way easier to listen to an episode or read a short transcript compared to the lengthy books I tried to learn from, in combination with my good endos. The podcast helps me know things can and will get better & helps me not feel so alone in my diagnosis & care.

    I really enjoyed listening to your guests this week. I love hearing how things work in other countries, as far as their medical and their way of educating their diabetics. I really like that she was open and honest with you about her other issues and has turned them into positives. As you would say, she was very lovely. I hope everyone else enjoyed the podcast.

    Amazing!
    Our Endo saw my son’s 5.6 A1C and said “so I hear you listen to Juicebox..” True story!

    Off the rails
    This podcast used to have really great information and guests. Now it’s just Scott reading ChatGPT hallucinations and talking about how nothing tastes better than skinny feels. That Wegovy kickback’s gotta be pretty good.

    Great tips for diabetes management
    Hours and hours and hours of great training and tips that your doctor does not have time to give you. The series such as Pro Rips are amazing. And the hundreds, thousands plus of episodes help me understand what other diabetics are going through, and help me to understand my diabetes better. I have been type one diabetic for 58 years and have learned so much from this podcast.

    Entertaining while informative
    Awesome interview with Dr. Stephanie Tarlow!
  • TurtleTwig
    Appreciative
    I have learned so much from this podcast that I otherwise would not have learned. Diabetes is hard and figuring out how to have good control of your health is not easy with it. I learned more practical tips from this podcast than anywhere else, and I am very appreciative. Thank you!
  • MJSushi
    Informative, Impactful and Entertaining
    The Juicebox Podcast has the most comprehensive, accessible, up to date T1D content available, and it is free! There’s no catch… no sales pitch to get additional help or to join an exclusive group. Scott Benner has helped thousands of people learn how insulin works and how to use it skillfully. And he is, dare I say, delightful. :) My 16 year son was diagnosed in 2020 and consistently has an A1c in the 5s, even through puberty. He has a time in range of over 70% and our range is 70-140. He has no diet restrictions. He chooses what he wants to eat and we figure out how to dose for it. I have the knowledge and confidence to help him achieve these results because of what I have learned from this podcast. In addition to that, this podcast is truly entertaining and I look forward to each new episode. I am not only a diabetes ninja because of it but a happier, better human being from what I learn daily from Scott, Jenny, Erika and all the wonderful guests.

    Dangerous. Needs a fact checker, serious medical disclaimers
    Anyone saying "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" should not give health advice. Really disturbing lack of integrity. This dude has been in an echo chamber for too long. Managing your child's diabetes doesn't make you a doctor. Touch grass.
  • ……again?……
    Harsh
    You do not get it. Hats off for trying though.

    Crucial
    I cannot begin to thank Scott, Jenny, and everyone else who helps make this podcast possible. My 11yo was diagnosed almost 6 weeks ago. Learning about dynamic diabetes management has been crucial to where we have gotten so far. I felt like we were floundering a bit even with the education we got from the hospital (which was very rigid and static). Listening to the Defining Diabetes series, Bold Beginnings series, and Pro Tip series was a game (and life) changer. Applying what I’ve learned so far from the podcast has already produced significantly noticeable results and makes so much sense. It has been empowering for my son as well as myself. Many thanks to this podcast!

    Mental Health
    I was really enjoying this podcast until Scott decided to start acting life a mental health professional. In the most recent episode be tried to dissuade this poor guest that she first was not bipolar because he “didn’t get the vibe” and then was bipolar because “she wrote a very detailed email” about how she didn’t get to explain her mental health complaints clearly. He tried to talk her into hyperthyroidism and an MTHFR as reasons for her mental health complaints. He lacks so much information and is just googling live in the podcast which is really strange. Acting like a medical professional when you aren’t is bad enough, but to further confuse someone while they are still working through a diagnosis is shameful. Saying the guest doesn’t seem mentally ill because she is conscientious is ridiculous. I hope Scott will educate himself before possibly confusing and insulting a whole community.

    Amazing podcast, way more than diabetes
    This podcast is great for those with diabetes but everyone can learn from this podcast. Scott has a way about interviewing that is informative and fun. He is sarcastic and funny. I love how he understands that there is more than one way to do things and what works for one doesn’t work for everyone. He includes all perspectives and covers all topics.
  • Bictoria Jane
    LOVE IT
    i am a t1d and i love this podcast THANK YOU SCOTT! Arden seems just like me.
  • Dia gurl
    Not alone 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒
    When I was diagnosed I felt like I was the only one who knew and had the true meaning of diabetes.When my Mom introduced me to the podcast I realized that there millions of people who understand and feel the same way as I feel.Now I love to listen and I feel comfortable listening.My pets like it too!!

    Grateful
    I can’t say enough of Scott and his podcast. I am so grateful for this resource that he puts out here for FREE! Not only has it helped in tangible ways to improve my son’s life with diabetes, but it also has provided me with a sense of community through my struggles in dealing with the huge emotional toll diabetes takes on a caregiver. The intro song, Scott’s voice, and the guests that he interviews have comforted me during my car rides and long walks. It’s become part of my life that I look forward to weekly. My son was diagnosed at 12. He’s graduating high school this week and headed to college. Back when he was diagnosed, I never thought I’d see the day where he was independent with his care. Thanks to the podcast, he’s armed with knowledge that he wouldn’t get otherwise. Thank you Scott!
  • Disgustedtype1
    Take a shot. Lose weight.
    As a person with type 1 that has struggled with body image issues, listening to Scott talk about how great he looks and feels because of Wegovy is getting REALLY ANNOYING!!!!! If only we all could just take a shot to lose weight. Check your privilege.
  • AR23ar
    Instant ick
    I’ve only listened to the sex worker episode and this guy sounds like a 16 yr old talking to a girl for the first time it’s so embarrassing. Literally nothing about t1d.
  • Mom to T1D
    Invaluable Resource!!
    I started listening to this podcast a few months after my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. The Pro Tip Series really helped us figure out lots of things like “bumping and nudging” to bring down higher BG numbers than we wanted, bolusing for fat and protein, starting on Omnipod 5, and so on … Other episodes featuring discussions with guests have been not only informative but also kind of cathartic - so many shared experiences. I can’t recommend this podcast enough!
  • Erinjana
    Incredibly Helpful, No Matter Your Connection to T1D
    The wonderful thing about this podcast is that it has benefit for so many different people touched by diabetes. Whether you are diabetic yourself, caregiver or even just a compassionate individual who wants to understand the diabetic experience better, there’s something here for you!
  • N8rtot317
    I’m new here… thanks for doing this
    My step daughter was diagnosed a week ago. This podcast has already given me help, hope and insight. Truly appreciate you creating and sharing.
  • DiabetesDiva
    JBPC for all!
    There’s an episode in here for everyone. Whether you live with diabetes, know someone with diabetes or know someone who knows someone…. Definitely recommend!
  • Kaaberle
    Everything your doctor never told you.
    This podcast explains diabetes and all the factors that come into play in a way that no one has ever had time to give you. Understanding food, activity and how insulin actually works. Hearing stories from others all over the world about their diagnosis and life with diabetes will make you feel less alone. After 30 years of managing my own diabetes, I listen to every episode and find wisdom, comfort, entertainment and new tidbits that help to keep me engaged and motivated to do my best. I recommend it 10/10!!

    Great Community
    This podcast and Facebook group gave me the community I was looking for after settling in post-diagnosis of my 3 year old daughter. I still learn new things with every episode and our medical team is impressed by our understanding and confidence. Thank you for what you are doing for the T1D community!
  • Wolffdog7
    This podcast helps
    I was diagnosed later in life. I was of course diagnosed type 2 and might have been at that point. But finally with all the weight loss, I was finally able to see an Endocrinologist. The blood work she ordered showed the antibodies and she let me know I would at some point be insulin dependent. I credit her with the fact that I never went into DKA. As much credit as I give her, I believe her advice was much as Scott has said "don't die advice". Most of the strategies I use for battling my blood sugar I learned from either the Juicebox Podcast or the facebook page. My A1C's are generally in the high 5's. Thank you Scott and all the admins and contributors to the facebook page.
  • T2outlier
    ATTENTION ALL TYPE 2 DIABETICS!
    This is a fantastic resource for ANY diabetic who wants to manage their blood sugars. It isn’t just for Type 1s or those with children. It is not only informative but also entertaining and funny. And, more importantly, Scott makes it understandable. There aren’t any judgments no matter how you choose to eat or your lifestyle. It is all-inclusive whether you live in the U.S. or anywhere around the world. Please check it out. You won’t be sorry.
  • dista77
    So grateful!
    Our 12yo son was just diagnosed with T1D, and I’m so grateful this podcast was recommended. I’m 4 episodes in and already feel hopeful.
  • mrsgrieve
    Helpful and easy to digest info
    I love the podcast and it has personally helped me so much with managing my type 1 diabetes.
  • Ahackattack
    Best T1 podcast
    Get on Juicebox train and be changed for the better. The thousands of episodes maybe seem overwhelming at first, but just like finding the perfect carb ratio, it doesn’t happen over night. When I was ready, I listened to the bold beginnings and pro tips series after the fog of the hospital days with my son. Scott’s play at your pace style was JUST what I needed to better receive the information and be the best caregiver.
  • keh813
    This Podcast Makes A Difference!
    I was about to give up on my pump and return to MDI after 4 months. Then I found Scott and The Juicebox Podcast. I became what T1s need: confident! That’s the genius of these episodes. You learn and grow but most importantly understand you are part of a tight knit and supportive community. Thank you Scott!
  • Elan Beaton
    So Thankful
    My 6 year old son was diagnosed Type 1 in August. I have learned so much from this podcast. I no longer start to go in a panic attic when he’s going low or high. I have the knowledge and confidence to not be scared of insulin. Thank you sooo much Scott !
  • T1D essential podcast
    THE Essential podcast for the T1D community!
    Days after my son’s diagnosis, I randomly met another T1D mom when her young son noticed my teen’s Dexcom. Within moments of meeting, I was in tears because I knew nothing about T1D was was overwhelmed with all I needed to know. She recommended Juicebox and that recommendation offered hope and clear direction to managing this disease. Juicebox delivers information I needed to help my son, to understand his conditions, and to support his health. 18 months later - we still listen and are constantly learning. Juicebox made all the difference in our journey and we are forever grateful.
  • Sally.0K
    So thankful
    This has been the most helpful resource I’ve found for managing my daughter’s diabetes!

    G-6
    Dave inl love your podcast. I was told by my supplier that the g6 is in short supply. I wear an Omni pod and live it. Where do we turn until the G7 is interfaced?
  • Janet G SoCal
    Priceless Advice
    I have learned more from this podcast than I have from my doctor or diabetes educator. I highly recommend you listen to this podcast.
  • We Die Young
    Helps me with my diabetes
    By far the most informative show out there for anyone living with T1D or has a loved one with T1D. Scott simplifies it and explains it in a way that I can understand. A must listen if you’re Newley diagnosed or are trying to get back on track with your diabetes.
  • Hi my name is anon
    Better than the education given by your doctor!!
    My family member was diagnosed almost 4 years ago. I found this podcast a few weeks after diagnosis. The ProTips provided us the knowledge to take better care and advocate for diabetes technology. The personal stories gave us community with other families taking on similar challenges. Through the years we have made changes. With each change I can find episodes that with amazing an accurate information that makes the changes easier. Hard days can still happen but we always have the Juicebox Podcast as a source of information and community to get us through them. At diagnosis everyone should be given a CGM and the link to this podcast!!!

    LADA
    I was diagnosed w LADA last year: Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults. I am so grateful for the many people that told me I had to listen to the juice box podcast! So much information offered! Thank you Scott for all you are doing to help so many of us get through our days!
  • Mc712
    Best Type 1 Diabetes Podcast
    I have learned so much to help my son navigate this disease from this podcast. Far more than doctors or books could have done. This podcast is the reason my son’s A1C has been consistently in the 5s since his original diagnosis with an A1C of 13.6. I have been a listener for over three years. Please never stop your work on this podcast. It is literally saving lives.

    Love
    This podcast helps me learn so much about diabetes and what I need to do.

    Wonky days and recentering
    Most of us living with or supporting someone with T1 diabetes have an occasional wonky glucose day. The day when all the tools in the toolbox don’t seem to help. The day when we go to bed with the small voice that says “We will try again tomorrow“. The wonk days are when I turn to the podcast and listen to a few episodes. I am reminded of a few helpful nuggets. I recenter, I focus, I adjust my superhero cape and I am empowered to tackle this disease the next day. Thanks Juicebox.
  • Jiggadize
    So helpful! Especially to the newly diagnosed!
    Our son 7.5 y/o son was diagnosed with T1D nearly 3 months ago. The first thing I did was turn to social media for support. Every single group I joined suggested this podcast. I’ve been listening to it for over 2 months now and it’s been beyond helpful! It has given me more helpful/real world knowledge than anything else I’ve found or read online. I got my wife listening too and she’s now a huge fan. Scott is such a down to earth guy, too! I DMed him on instagram soon after I started listening to the JuiceBox Podcast and he wrote me back right away and was so kind! They also have cool offers from their sponsors from time to time. I just received a free BGM thanks to them! There is NO better option out there for anyone curious about understanding and managing type one diabetes!
  • Amyho
    Wegovy Diary!
    I love the Wegovy diary part of this podcast! I find myself checking every day when it’s time for a new diary. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and congratulations on all of the success that you are having!
  • CMTrew
    BEST Resource for T1D Information
    My young adult child was diagnosed last year. It has been so important to me to learn all I can about what he is dealing with. Of all the resources I can get my hands on, The Juicebox Podcast has been my #1 source of information. Starting with Bold Beginnings and Defining Diabetes, and progressing through the ProTips series has helped me understand the fundamentals of the disease. The interviews with T1Ds and Caregivers has given me insight into my son’s daily efforts and struggles. I am entirely grateful to Scott, Jenny, and everyone who is willing to share their story.
  • iCory
    This podcast is a game changer!
    Twenty-five years as a Type One Diabetic and only now I am learning some of the basics. Scott brings useful information and presents it in digestible ways. Learning that pre-bolus doesn’t just mean “bolus before you eat” but means “timing your insulin so it is active as the carbs become active” took my already decent 6.5 a1c down to a 5.6 a1c in the past 8 months. I’ve never met Scott but after listening to 100s of episodes and joining him in his Facebook group, I consider him a friend. Listening to this podcast and applying it has been the best thing I have done for my health since diagnosis. Thank you, Scott!

    Type 1s Need Juicebox(es)
    Scott has hit a home run with this podcast! Type 1 for 40+ years, diabetes educator with nursing background, twin mom who works in the diabetes world here - this series has answers and so much more. It’s always real talk. I’ve learned, laughed, related, shared, and maybe shed a few tears listening. Type 1 isn’t easy. Scott is connecting as many people as he can to make sure it’s manageable for all of us!
  • New State, New Diagnosis
    Fears and anxiety subsided after finding this podcast
    My son was diagnosed Nov. 2022. By late November I was hooked to the podcast. Scott’s sense of humor and just relaxed nature made my stressed, newly diagnosed, parent heart the ability to breath and know that it would all be OK. The podcast filled in gaps. Allowed for me to listen to episodes more than once to fully understand a topic. It allows me to go back now and listen to topics as they are relative. It has truly been a lifesaver in the midst of a really rough storm. Could not be any more appreciative of Scott and the time he takes to make it all possible.
  • Dannygirl333
    Host needs to let guests speak.
    Am I the only one that noticed how he’s talking the majority of the time . I had to unsubscribe I couldn’t take it anymore . He cuts them off all the time . And on more than one occasion he’ll make cringe comments that I’m sure makes the guest uncomfortable . I’m shocked how not enough people have commented on this .
  • Miss_Vell
    Literal lifesaver
    Thank goodness for this podcast and the related Facebook group! I’ve learned more there in the last 3 months than from all my doctors in the previous 42 years as a Type 1 diabetic. I spent most of the time prior to finding the podcast resigned to dying of complications from my diabetes just before my 51st birthday, just like my dad who had the exact same “set” of autoimmune conditions as I do. Since listening and implementing the tools and concepts I’ve learned there, I’ve gotten the best a1c of my entire life (7.0) and I fully expect to be in the 5s for my next one and the future. Even better than that, I’ve learned not to give up on myself, and now have hope of living a quality life well beyond 51. This podcast is for any kind of diabetes, and I firmly believe there’s something in every episode that can be helpful in achieving masterful management, as well as the incredible peace of mind that comes with finding a community who also “gets it”.
  • schhrotts
    Excellent podcast!!
