Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode. In this inspiring episode, I sit down with twin sisters Lisa and Lindsay Rusch , both living with type 1 diabetes, alongside their older brother who also has T1D. Beyond their personal diabetes journeys, the sisters are co-owners of Brekkie Shack , a health-focused restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. This episode is packed with wisdom, entrepreneurial spirit, and practical tips for anyone managing diabetes—or supporting someone who is. 🔑 Key Takeaways Different ages, different challenges : Lisa was diagnosed at 12, while Lindsay was diagnosed as an adult. Their perspectives on adjusting to T1D are unique yet complementary. Food as both fuel and joy : Their restaurant Brekkie Shack is proof that dining out can be both healthy and blood sugar–friendly. Endocrinologist alignment matters : Finding the right fit can make or break your confidence in diabetes care. Community changes everything : JDRF events, local connections, and podcasts like this one remind us we’re never alone. Balance over perfection : Exercise timing, macronutrient choices, and tech tools like CGMs all play a role—but what matters most is finding what works for you . 📌 Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode 🌐Visit the restaurant: Brekkie Shack Website 📸 Follow Brekkie Shack on Instagram: @brekkieshack This Episode on YouTube: About the Host - Coach Ken I’m Ken Kniss , founder of Simplifying Life With Diabetes and host of The Healthy Diabetic Podcast .
