The Juicebox Podcast: 12 Years, 58 #1 Countries
Number one in fifty-eight countries.
A Type 1 diabetes podcast, made by one person, that reached the top of Apple’s medical chart in fifty-eight countries and territories — and kept doing it for twelve years.
At the top, market after market
Not only the unexpected places. In the markets that carry the most weight — across North America, Europe, Oceania, Asia, and the Gulf — the show charted near the top of Apple’s Medicine chart, often inside the top five.
And across the Gulf — Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan — number one in every one.
All ten. Of the ten countries where the most people live with Type 1 diabetes, the show has charted in every one — top 10 in seven, number one in Saudi Arabia.
Chart positions: all-time peak rank, Apple Podcasts Medicine. T1D population order: IDF Diabetes Atlas / T1D Index (2025); US & UK counts CDC and JDRF.
The places you’d never expect
Number one. Top of the medical chart. Here:

Fifty-eight countries and territories in all. Apple’s public chart record goes back to 2019 — there is a number one in every year of it.
A curriculum, not a feed
You don’t reach the top of the medical chart in fifty-eight countries on personality. You do it because someone who arrives frightened finds a path already built for them.

Diabetes Pro Tip
How insulin actually works — the spine of the whole library.

Beyond these: more than two dozen structured series, written guides, self-built tools, and full transcript libraries — all free. Explore it all at juiceboxpodcast.com.
Twelve years. No off-season.
Most shows are a handful of episodes and a feed that goes quiet. This one has published without a break for twelve straight years — and only sped up. What began at a slower clip is now five days a week, and the catalog runs nearly 1,900 episodes deep.
It didn’t begin as a podcast.
It began in 2007, with a parent writing — months after a diagnosis no family wants, and a choice to talk about Type 1 out loud instead of carrying it alone. The podcast came eight years later. The fifty-eight flags, the twelve years, the people who felt a little less alone at 2 a.m. — none of it was planned. It grew, slowly, from that.
