Life changing
My daughter was diagnosed with T1D in Oct 24’ at the age of 4. We almost lost her. Thankful to have such an amazing resource available so I don’t have to call her endo so much. Thank you for all you do!

Learning new takes on things every episode
I’ve been T1D for more than 20 years and only recently found this podcast. I love listening to episodes because it can give me a new way to handle the trials and tribulations of T1D life and other times it just reminds me I’m not alone. Thanks!

I have learned so much from Scott and Jenny
I love this podcast. It’s honestly the first podcast I have ever listened to. I started Juicebox as a member of their Facebook group and then started listening to the podcast. I have learned SO MUCH PRACTICAL INFORMATION about how to take care of my son’s type 1 diabetes from Scott and Jenny. I have learned much more from them than from 5 years of endo appointments! Really grateful to have found this podcast and to Scott and also Jenny for everything that they put it into it.

HEY!Do yourself a favor & just go listen! Juicebox Rocks! 🧃💥Seriously.. go listen! Ininity ⭐️’s
If you think Type 1 Diabetes is just about insulin and blood sugar, Juicebox will blow that notion wide open. This podcast doesn’t just educate—it immerses. It’s a raw, riveting, and refreshingly multidimensional look at life with Type 1, where science meets soul, and advocacy meets everyday hustle. Each episode balances the science of T1D with the human side, featuring deeply personal stories. It’s not just data—it’s data with a heartbeat. Interviews with experts, tidbits on technology, and myth-busting segments. First-hand accounts of diagnosis and navigating life with diabetes, and the mental toll of constant vigilance. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or a seasoned T1D warrior, the podcast offers something for everyone. There’s practical clarity on diabetes lingo and management basics , but also gritty wisdom from people who’ve lived, learned and are eternally striving to tame the diabetes beast! Juicebox doesn’t sugarcoat (pun intended). It celebrates victories—but also sits with the hard stuff: burnout, misdiagnosis, and the fear of complications. It’s a rollercoaster, but one you feel seen riding.Through the Highs: Empowerment, community, breakthroughs etc and the Lows: Isolation, stigma, variables and body betrayal etc. Episodes explore the tension between wanting to be understood and wanting to be invisible. From kids navigating school lunches to adults explaining their pump at TSA, the podcast honors the delicate balance of being different while trying to blend in. Sharing Quiet resilience, private routines, subtle adaptations. Some guests are loud and proud advocates, turning their diagnosis into a platform. Others just want to live their lives without being defined by it. The podcast respects both paths, showing that there’s no “right” way to do diabetes. Juicebox captures the constant daily grind, the small wins, the heroic warriors that battle diabetes! The episodes balance both the realities & the possibilities, the human side and the science side, the education side and the street smarts, the ups & downs, standing out while fitting in, advocacy vs normalcy, urgency vs preparation and the experiments and the experiences! Juicebox is more than a podcast—it’s a lifeline. Scott has such a remarkable gift for conversation & has created a much needed and powerful space in the diabetic community! It’s the kind of show that makes you laugh, cry, learn, and reflect—all in one episode. Whether you’re living with Type 1, loving someone who is, or just curious about what it really means to manage a chronic condition 24/7, this podcast delivers truth with tenderness and grit with grace. Rating: 5/5 syringes 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

Exactly What T1D Families Need
The Juicebox Podcast has been a true lifeline for our family after my son’s recent Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis. Scott’s calm, honest, and incredibly informative approach brings so much clarity to a very overwhelming journey. The stories, practical tips, and real conversations have helped us feel less alone and more empowered. This podcast doesn’t just provide information, it builds community and confidence. It’s exactly what every T1D parent, caregiver, or person living with diabetes needs. I’m beyond grateful for the support and knowledge it offers. Thank you for making such a difference in our lives!💙

I’m missing something
I’ve seen several people in online groups recommend this podcast, and I’ve tried to listen a few times and didn’t get any useful information. The problem is it’s too long, there are too many episodes, and frankly the host seems to talk about himself a lot and got annoying. I don’t have time to sift through all that casual chatter to find the useful information.

Fantastic T1D Podcast
The Juicebox Podcast is a fantastic resource for anyone living with Type 1 diabetes or caring for someone who is. It’s informative, relatable, and refreshingly down to earth. Scott brings in real conversations with real people patients, parents, and experts- making complex topics easy to understand. I have learned more about diabetes from Juicebox than I have from my team of doctors.

Absolutely AMAZING & life changing!
I have been a Type 1 Diabetic since 1977. I found this podcast a couple years ago, but recently started listening. I’m gonna be honest, at first I thought this guy is not a diabetic. How could he possibly know? Apologies to you Scott, YOU DO KNOW and I am thankful for all your podcast,wisdom and advice . I will be a forever listener & share your podcast often!❤️

Life-changing podcast
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes six months ago. This podcast completely changed my understanding of her diabetes management — what I learned at the hospital at diagnosis was just the tip of the iceberg. Scott, thank you a millions times over for putting this information out there FOR FREE, this is a tremendous service to our community.

Life saving and Nerve calming!
You just can’t go through something as complicated as this without some support and that’s what we got from listening. The wealth of experience and knowledge is so important. Thank you for all your hard work!

Life changing
The Juicebox Podcast has been life-changing for our family. After my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, we were overwhelmed, scared, and unsure where to turn. This podcast gave us the tools, confidence, and knowledge we needed—all for free. Thanks to what we’ve learned from Scott and the incredible guests, my daughter’s A1C is now 5.5! What sets this podcast apart is its honesty. It’s not sugar-coated or salesy—it’s real-world advice from people actually living with T1D. Scott’s direct, compassionate style makes complicated topics accessible and empowering. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years in, this podcast is a must-listen. Every parent, every caregiver, and honestly every doctor should hear this.

Very informative
Scott’s podcasts are great whether you are new to diabetes or have been a diabetic for decades, you will always walk away with more knowledge. Scott is warm, relatable, entertaining with a good sense of humor.

I love this show
This podcast is amazing 🤩 It has helped me is much! It made managing me diabetes is much easier. Scott makes it not boring like other podcasts. My A1C went from the mid sevens and now I am in the sixes. Scott’s podcast is just amazing. I have only been a type one for about 2 years. My a1c was around 12.5 at diagnosis and in less than 2 months my a1c was 7.0 and now it is 6.2. This podcast is an amazing learning tool. I am not an adult but it helps me manage. Highly recommended this podcast.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I give 5 stars if I could it would be 100,000,000!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Finding this podcast has been the best thing to happen once my son was diagnosed with T1D. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

Breathe
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few months for my 3yo T1D and it has been a lifesaver almost quite literally. I’ve learned so much but above all I haven’t felt like I can’t do this anymore since listening. Take a deep breath and listen. You can do this and this podcast can help you understand your journey too.

As a parent of a t1d child "T1Dad", this podcast is super helpful. Gives me the confidence to really be present for my daughter. Thank you, Juicebox

Love this podcast
As the mother of a 9 year old type 1 diabetic, this podcast has given me tons of tricks and tips about managing my daughter’s insulin needs. Highly recommend!

Amazing learning tool!
I am an RN with a newly diagnosed T1D 7 year old. Nothing I’ve ever learned in school or practice has compared to what I’ve learned from the podcast and FB group. My daughter’s A1C went from 13.9 at diagnosis to 6.4 in less than 3 months thanks to this podcast. It has given me the confidence, knowledge, and support to keep learning and be bold with insulin. Thank you so much!

Great learning opportunity
Love listening to these podcasts and learning so much to help my daughter with type 1 diabetes. This is truly a game changer! Thank you!!!

So much better than books
When we were diagnosed we got a lot of paper and felt really overwhelmed. Juicebox has helped us sift through all the information, develop practical strategies, and build our confidence at being able to navigate diabetes as parents so we can care for and teach our kiddo well and be good advocates on his behalf.

Love this podcast!
My son was diagnosed with T1D 10 years ago, he's 12 now. Our family found this podcast quite a few years ago and it's been a GAME CHANGER for us ever since! It helped us lower his A1C and gave us better tools to manage his diabetes day to day. We still listen because we're still learning and all of the stories help us feel less alone, more connected, and make us laugh! I'm so thankful for this podcast!

Great for newly diagnosed T1D
This podcast has been so helpful since my daughter was diagnosed with T1D in October 2024. I’ve learned so many practical day to day tips and it has really deceased my stress levels and feelings of overwhelm as we’ve learned how to move forward and keep her healthy!

Lots of information!
Great resource for a T1D family.
JPalacios221
Wonderful information!
When my nephew was diagnosed, it was shocking and terrifying. We knew nothing about T1D! My sister told me about this podcast and it has been so helpful! It gave the information in a way that didn’t sound like I was listening to Charlie Brown’s teacher speak. I feel more comfortable caring for my nephew when needed and it means so much!

Best TD1 Education Available
So thankful we were told about this podcast at the hospital following diagnosis. We dove into the content and achieved a 5.4 A1c on our first test with no food restrictions.

So much good info!
As a mom of 2 kids with type 1, this has been a great addition to my podcast lists! Love the info and real life stories shared with his guests. I only wish he didn’t say so many Jesus Christs and GDs, but nonetheless, a great podcast!

A Community of Information
I have found it to be so valuable to feel part of this Juicebox community. Managing our kiddos T1D can feel very isolating, and this podcast has helped us learn valuable information and feel a sense of belonging. Thank you!

Perfect for new T1D Parents
My daughter Ellie was diagnosed almost 2 years ago in Feb 2023. She was 9 and in 4th grade and I was lost. We had no experience with managing T1D (except one friend in high school). We have 4 girls and this is my 3rd girl and they are all busy with school and sports. Ellie especially is a club soccer player and I needed to know how to deal with practices and coaches. This podcast has everything you need to know. From dealing with school, teachers, coaches, different pumps, nighttime, MDI…the pro tips series is amazing but overall just listening to stories from parents helped so much. My favorite is Mark Andrews mom! Highly recommend this podcast to anyone feeling lost. So easy to listen to while commuting or carpooling - especially for us T1D moms who need sleep and not any time to read books about it. Helps so much for dealing with the physical aspects of managing blood sugar but also listening to other stories helps so much emotionally to feel a sense of community.

An essential show for T1D parents
My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with T1D a few months ago and I’m so glad I found this podcast! Scott is so insightful and has so many real life tips and experiences that I learn so much with every episode!

A blessing!
I found Scott’s podcast after our T1 was dx 8 years go. It was such a blessing for me as the primary caretaker to a 4 yr old learn How to cope with the dx while finding the joy in the craziness amongst others who get it. This community is awesome. Thank you Scott for creating such a warm, informative, funny (esp the dark humor), safe space.

Gotta love it’s!
As a longterm T1D. I wasn’t sure what to expect, after 4 years listening to JBP, I can’t miss an episode! I love how Scott makes the guest feel at ease as he speaks to them about their child’s journey, or their own! The recurrent experts, Jenny and Erica give excellent ideas on diabetes and mental health that can transcend diabetes. And absolutely love it when Arden comes on for the great banter between her and her dad! Thank you, Scott!!

If you’re not listening, do you even T1D?
If you’re struggling to meet your goals, struggling to care, or not struggling at all and just want to be reminded that you’re not actually alone with this disease, give it a shot. I don’t see how you can stay on the wrong path if you’re actively listening. It’s a gentle reminder every day that it can be done, that you should not be so hard on yourself, that other people struggle and succeed as well, and little pieces of knowledge just get dropped in your brain like free education. Please please please give it a shot. Scott and his guests make me laugh daily, get choked up, get angry at the system, and then sort back through it all.

An absolute MUST for patients and caregivers
I was diagnosed with Type 1 at age 31 and have been living with the disease for 17 years. I am “beginning again” with my management and have found this podcast to be priceless. I started with the Diabetes Pro Tips series and am working my way through the other episodes. I have already seen a significant drop in my BG levels since implementing the tools discussed my Scott and Jenny. The podcast has also led me to shift my mindset about many aspects of living with Type 1. A huge THANK YOU to Scott, Jenny and everyone else involved with creating this show.

Best A1c ever thx to the podcast
I had never listened to a podcast before & just followed the Facebook group for a while, but once I started listening, I gained insight & skills to apply to managing my blood glucose much better than ever, & without the stress of micromanaging. I am down to a 6.0 & honestly believe I can do even better than that! I have learned way more here than anywhere else & it is way easier to listen to an episode or read a short transcript compared to the lengthy books I tried to learn from, in combination with my good endos. The podcast helps me know things can and will get better & helps me not feel so alone in my diagnosis & care.

I really enjoyed listening to your guests this week. I love hearing how things work in other countries, as far as their medical and their way of educating their diabetics. I really like that she was open and honest with you about her other issues and has turned them into positives. As you would say, she was very lovely. I hope everyone else enjoyed the podcast.

Amazing!
Our Endo saw my son’s 5.6 A1C and said “so I hear you listen to Juicebox..” True story!

Off the rails
This podcast used to have really great information and guests. Now it’s just Scott reading ChatGPT hallucinations and talking about how nothing tastes better than skinny feels. That Wegovy kickback’s gotta be pretty good.

Great tips for diabetes management
Hours and hours and hours of great training and tips that your doctor does not have time to give you. The series such as Pro Rips are amazing. And the hundreds, thousands plus of episodes help me understand what other diabetics are going through, and help me to understand my diabetes better. I have been type one diabetic for 58 years and have learned so much from this podcast.

Entertaining while informative
Awesome interview with Dr. Stephanie Tarlow!

Appreciative
I have learned so much from this podcast that I otherwise would not have learned. Diabetes is hard and figuring out how to have good control of your health is not easy with it. I learned more practical tips from this podcast than anywhere else, and I am very appreciative. Thank you!

Informative, Impactful and Entertaining
The Juicebox Podcast has the most comprehensive, accessible, up to date T1D content available, and it is free! There’s no catch… no sales pitch to get additional help or to join an exclusive group. Scott Benner has helped thousands of people learn how insulin works and how to use it skillfully. And he is, dare I say, delightful. :) My 16 year son was diagnosed in 2020 and consistently has an A1c in the 5s, even through puberty. He has a time in range of over 70% and our range is 70-140. He has no diet restrictions. He chooses what he wants to eat and we figure out how to dose for it. I have the knowledge and confidence to help him achieve these results because of what I have learned from this podcast. In addition to that, this podcast is truly entertaining and I look forward to each new episode. I am not only a diabetes ninja because of it but a happier, better human being from what I learn daily from Scott, Jenny, Erika and all the wonderful guests.
