In this episode Dr. Liz Stephens and Amy Stockwell chat about various fascinating topics that include the frustrations of low blood sugars, the new Dexcom 7, the pending holidays and must read books by some of our favorite authors! During the episode we mention a few things that I want to clarify for those who get confused...
First, Liz refers to a recent episode of the podcast (and fantastic resource) Diabetes Connections with author Stacey Simms who talks in depth about the dexcom 7.
Liz also recommends the book These Precious Days by one of our favorite authors, Ann Patchett, who is the co-owner of the amazing Parnassus Books in Nashville, TN, a must visit for any of you who live in the area.
Finally, I embarrass myself by butchering the title of Barbara Kingsolver's latest novel Demon Copperhead. One of my favorite books of the year!
We'll be back after the holidays with more compelling conversations, stay tuned!

We are really excited about today’s interview with John Stirrat, who has had type 1 diabetes since age 8. John plays bass in an excellent band called Hail the Sun, which is labelled on Wikipedia “as a post-hardcore band using elements of screamo, progressive rock, and math rock in its music.” They are amazing musicians, with live shows that are one of a kind. Their success have really blossomed over the last 10 years, as they now have 5 albums, 2 EP’s and close to 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. We were curious to talk to John about what it is like to have type 1 diabetes on tour, how he manages his performances, and hear what it is like to be a rock and roller taking insulin!

Diabetes and Creativity with artist Ana Morales

play

10/29/22 • 23 min

About this Episode:
We talk to Ana Morales about her journey with diabetes, how it impacts her art, and exciting plans she has for a graphic novel. You even get to hear her kitty in the background!

Featured on this Episode:
Ana Morales is based in Roanoke, Virginia and works primarily as a mixed media artist. She holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA from James Madison University, where she studied studio art and art education. She works at LeisureMedia360 in Roanoke as the art director for publications including the Roanoker Magazine and the Virginia Travel Guide. Morales has exhibited her work locally and nationally.

Artist statement:
My work is largely informed by my life as a type 1 diabetic. I’m primarily interested in art-making as an opportunity to play and experiment. I’m also interested in processes that mimic my daily life with diabetes—processes that explore repetition and routine, control, order, and risk. While my early work is quite literal, my more recent work explores the broader idea of illness versus wellness and the day-to-day fluctuations of mental health.
