T1D, Connection, and People Magazine: Elise & Zach share their story

Mar 4, 2025

Episode Description

A story from People Magazine was all over my feed in February.. you may have seen the headline: "Young Couple with Diabetes Meet Online from 3,000 Miles Away." It's a very cute story, but it speaks to the larger diabetes community – issues of connection, positive depictions of T1D in media, and the idea that googling diabetes doesn't have to bring up depressing or outdated medical advice. I'm talking to Elise and Zach about the rest of their story.
