There's a new love in my life and his name is Bob. Happy Bob, that is! Have you heard of the Happy Bob App? In today's episode you'll hear from the app's creator and a fellow type one parent, Jutta. For the sake of her son, she made it her mission to make diabetes management more enjoyable for both the T1D and their caregivers.

In all honesty, I was pretty hesitant to download the Happy Bob App at first...

I just could stand the thought of having one more app or program beeping at me and notifying me of my daughter's blood sugar level. HOWEVER, I AM SO VERY GLAD I DID! I can genuinely say that the Happy Bob App has done nothing but HELP when it comes to diabetes management. It makes me laugh and smile even on the tough and frustrating days. Plus, it makes me feel good about all the hard work I'm putting into diabetes management. I could go on and on about what I love about it but, really, you just need to take a listen to this episode and download the app to see for yourself. Enjoy!

You asked so I answered! So many listeners wanted to know how our experience on Omnipod 5 has been going so I thought it would be nice to put it in one spot.  I talk about why we made the switch, important things to keep in mind, dealing with insurance, what has worked for us in terms of settings, the pros and cons, and how I adjust settings when we are seeing highs or lows.  I think it's a pretty thorough overview. Always keep in mind, I am not a doctor or a diabetes educator... just a mom with a daughter living with type 1 who hopes to help and empower other moms. Nothing you hear on this episode should be considered medical advice... I am just sharing our experience with you all. Enjoy and let me know what you think! What has your experience with the OP5 been so far?
