  • Happy Tuesday Heal Squad! Today we are joined by celebrity hairstylist Laura Polko and we're talking all things diabetes! Just like me, she is a type 1 diabetic, but when we met each other we realized that people like us typically are not what comes to mind when you think of someone with diabetes. In our conversation, Laura opens up about all the waves of emotions that have come since her diabetes diagnosis, diabetes-related myths she's navigated, and the dangers of Diabulimia. Amidst the challenges, she also shares the unexpected upsides, like how her diagnosis fostered self-sufficiency and a deep appreciation for her body's rhythms.
    Whether you're a diabetic, know someone who is, or simply want to learn from Laura's experience as someone who has had type 1 diabetes for nearly 30 years, this episode will leave you with a newfound respect for the strength it takes to manage this condition. Make sure to come back tomorrow for part 2 of our conversation, where we continue to discuss our lives as type 1 diabetics as well as her incredible career in the beauty industry.

    Everything in life will show you patterns, and your body and diabetes are not exempt from that.
    Insulin takes 2 hours to start working.
    Diabulimia is when diabetics restrict the amount of insulin they take which leads to weight loss and some side effects can include eye issues and nerve damage.
    The symptoms of PMS are linked to insulin resistance.

    I have been a T1D since age 10...for 61 yrs. It has been a rocky road for sure ,but, never let it get in the way of living my Life . I have had an Insulin Pump since 2001. Has made my life and Diabetes Management so much easier. I have also had a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor for 10 yrs. This has made me feel so much more secure. It has taken a lifetime to learn how to live with it and I am still learning.

    I am insulin resistant now that I am in menopause. The high numbers come and then they stay there and it's so random but it's my hormones and no way to predict it and it can happen all month long as opposed to when I was menstruating I could usually predict it

    I can't go in hot tubs because it drops me too much. Even a shower I have to be careful because when I get out within 5 minutes I'll have a side down arrow from the heat making the insulin on board work quicker

    One sounds like she has type 3c diabetes mellitus caused by a lack of insulin production due to a procedure to the pancreas…there could be some insulin production so diet could help avoid the need of insulin shots. The other has type 1 due to autoimmune attack on the beta cells…so there is 0 insulin production…nothing you can do to get off insulin shots.

    So many mismanaged concepts it’s scary. I like the effort to openly talk about the complexities of these conditions but maybe invite an expert to ‘fact check’ you.
