Banana Bread & The Physical Traces of Insulin Pump Use
Insulin Pumps and CGMs can be life-changing--miraculous even. But as always-connected medical devices, that influence can be... complicated.
These devices, and the many others used in treating Diabetes, leave physical traces behind that stay present for people as they go about their day-to-day life. Melissa and Steve talk through what it means that pumps and monitors have to be right there with you AT ALL TIMES (better have a bag ready). And what is more, they are attached to the skin and inserted into the body in ways that can leave marks, holes, and scars behind for days or even weeks/months.
We also made banana bread! (Or... is it cake? Anyone care to chime in?) This recipe comes from Aubry Bennion (@aubryeliz on Instagram), and is super rich and indulgent -- plus super simple and is a great one to make with little ones.
There's more! We also finally launched our website, diabreadic.com , where you can go to find more detailed information from our episodes along with more content related to Diabetes, chronic illness, bread and breadmaking, and much much more.
Be sure to follow and/or subscribe wherever you are listening, and go find us on Instagram @diabreadic! While you're at it, head over to Apple Podcasts or Spotify and leave us a review.
