Key Takeaways

• Bethany Googled her daughter's symptoms eight months before diagnosis but dismissed diabetes because she only knew about type 2 - highlighting how lack of type 1 awareness delays diagnosis even when parents notice something is wrong.
• Family autoimmune history matters more than you think - Bethany discovered her "hypochondriac" family actually had multiple undiagnosed autoimmune conditions (celiac, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis) that she had dismissed for years.
• The podcast's influence creates ripple effects: a diabetes educator who improved her own T1D management now teaches those methods to families, and previous T1D families at Jordan's school had already implemented 504 plan advocacy, making the transition easier.
• Dramatic improvement is possible quickly - Bethany went from 24% time in range to 83% in just two weeks after a "ninja training" class that condensed podcast concepts, followed by listening to the fat and protein series.
• Thyroid guidance for caregivers: if TSH is over 2.1 with symptoms, push for medication even if it's "in range"; ferritin under 70 can cause fatigue even when in range; silent celiac is worth investigating if you have iron issues.

Bethany's Story Begins

Bethany (2:09)

My name is Bethany. I am the mom of two, a 13 and 10 year old. And my 10 year old has type one diabetes, and she was diagnosed in June 2025. So just this year.

Scott Benner (2:19)

Oh, goodness. Very, very recently.

Bethany (2:22)

Yes.

Scott Benner (2:22)

How about that? Was this a surprise, or was it a thing you saw coming?

Bethany (2:29)

I did not necessarily see it coming. I mean, I think I know you talk about, like, mom guilt a lot, and I think the guilt that I have is that I started googling some of her symptoms eight months, like, almost a year before she actually got diagnosed in DKA, and I didn't, like, take the next step. That's one, I think, positive benefit I've gotten from listening to the podcast is that you have some amazing people who are really good at advocating for themselves in the health care system, and I was not very good at that. And I kind of considered myself a little bit of a hypochondriac. So I would say for about eight months, I knew something was up. I had googled that it could be stress hormones or diabetes, and I honestly didn't know anything about type one diabetes. Mhmm. I only knew type two, and I was like, well, this kid clearly doesn't have type two. So I would say for, like, about a month or two before we finally got her diagnosed, I was pretty sure she had a blood sugar issue of some kind, but didn't know exactly what it was. But we don't have anyone else in our family with type one, so it wasn't necessarily on my mind.

Scott Benner (3:32)

You know, it's funny. You and I chatted for just a couple of minutes before we started, and you came off as so, bold to me, but you're not. No. Oh, well, that's interesting. But you're such a good speaker. Did I misread that for that maybe? Do you have a job where you speak a lot?

Bethany (3:49)

I do. Yeah. I'm the president of a sales organization, so I'm pretty good at speaking usually. Maybe not today. We'll find out.

The Juice Cruise Story

Scott Benner (3:56)

No. No. K. You're right. It's like, watch me set myself up here. I'll just bump right through everything. I just was on a cruise, and we did a couple of stops. And just a tiny bit of context, I'm taking a bunch of listeners on another cruise in June. It's called, Juice Cruise 2026. You should click on the link and go learn more about it. If you're a cruiser, I think you'll really enjoy it. One of the, stops for the Juice Cruise is Puerto Rico. So my wife and I just went on a cruise last week. Basically, it was like a taste test. So I was allowed to go on to get a vibe for the boat, make social media videos to share with people, stuff like that. And thanks so much to Celebrity for inviting me, and it was very nice. Now I feel like I have to say this. I had to pay my taxes on the trip. I had to fly myself there, put myself up. The cost of the cruise was taken care of by Celebrity. So thank you very much. We got off at Puerto Rico, and my wife and I decided to do a walking tour of the island. But it was a guided walking tour. And this 19 year old kid comes up, introduces himself. His name was Diego. And he set about maybe giving us the most complete, lovely, well thought out formulated breakdown of the history of the island and the people and what we should know and what we should care about and how things got to be. He was just excellent. What a great speaker. And we get to the end, and he walks us back to the ship, and we're, the last people there because a lot of people went and still went around the island. My wife and I were like, okay. That's enough walking for today. We're going back. I was giving him a tip, you know, financial tip, and I said, can I tell you something real quick before you go? I said, you were awesome. And my wife was very effusive and explained to him how well she thought he did. He wants to be a teacher. He was really great. And I said, but you have a a connecting word and it breaks the flow of your conversation. And I was like, do you wanna know what it is or would you prefer not to know? And he thought about it for a second. He goes, no. Tell me. And then I just, you know, I just said, look. When you get done with a thought, you say okay. But you say you're checking with us. And I said, and you've done such a good job of explaining what you're saying. You have such authority, clarity. Don't end your thought with, okay, like that. Yeah. Because it takes away all your power and it breaks the flow of your conversation. I was like, just pause quietly and then move on. And he was like, thank you so much. I'm like, I'm gonna remember that. And he's like, why did you hear that? And I said, oh, I make a podcast and I have like a thousand connecting words that I use that I I write down on sticky notes and try to stop myself from saying some with more success than others. But, anyway, I didn't wanna set you up to be like like, I'm great. I speak for a living, and then you're just all, like, tripping over yourself and everything.

Bethany (6:39)

100% what would happen. Yes.

Family Autoimmune History

Bethany (6:59)

I definitely have an authority that you have to carry at work that does not always transition, especially over to whatever reason, like, authority. I think I have just, like, a sense of authority. So, like, you know, police officers and people at the school and doctors, nurses. Like, I think I didn't realize how much you have to push within the medical system. And I have a lot of family history of autoimmune, and autoimmune is kind of hard to prove or hard to get diagnosis is on. So I really grew up with a family that I was like, man, you guys are all a bunch of hypochondriacs. And so it was hard for me to really push past that, especially with Jordan getting diagnosed to say, hey. If you think something's wrong, there probably is something wrong, and you really have to push to get that answer. I usually think, like, this person went to school. They've studied all these years. They know. And this whole experience has really taught me that, like, they can't know everything, and they don't know all the details.

Scott Benner (8:18)

You've uncovered a lot of interesting things here. First, let's give me credit for pimping the cruise and highlighting the difference between being a confident speaker in some situations than others and opening up this other thing about you growing up. I really have done a masterful job right here. Let's move on. Juiceboxpodcast.com/juicecruise. Now, Bethany, what do you mean? You're growing up with a group of people who all had autoimmune stuff that they were having trouble getting diagnosis for, and you saw your family and your extended family members as a bunch of complainers?

Bethany (8:49)

Yeah. Absolutely.

Scott Benner (8:50)

Tell me more.

Bethany (8:51)

I think when we were in the hospital with Jordan and they're going through family history and they start asking about, do you have a history of any of these things? And I'm like, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. This person has all of these problems.

Scott Benner (9:03)

But I thought they were making them up.

Bethany (9:04)

I thought yes. Honestly. Like, my husband was even like, yep. Are any of these actually diagnosed? I'm like, well, if one person is celiac and three others have gluten sensitivities or wheat allergies, it would tell you that there is something going on there. So, yes, I did honestly believe a lot of times that they were just complaining and that they didn't have diagnosis for these things. So it's like, do you really have what you think you have? And then, you know, the doctor looked at me, she was like, okay. So it's it's from you. I was like, oh oh, I guess, yeah, I guess it is.

Scott Benner (9:34)

Well, can't we dig into his life a little more? There might be something there.

Bethany (9:37)

Right? I was like, nothing? Like, are you sure he had no contributing factors? But it was pretty much me. I found out a lot about my family after that diagnosis. They're like, oh, yeah. Hypothyroidism, and I have low blood sugar issues, and I have, you know, celiac, and just all these things came out. Your grandma had rheumatoid arthritis and just finding out that they were all related. So it gave me a little bit more respect maybe for my family members and an internal apology that I issued for thinking that they were all kind of, full of it sometimes and also just an understanding of how all of that is interconnected.

Thyroid Testing Advice

Scott Benner (11:42)

Anybody anemic, low iron, low energy?

Bethany (11:45)

Not that I know of. Although, I get tested for low iron and anemia probably every five years. Some doctor will be like, maybe you're tired because you're anemic, and I get a test done. And it's always negative. So I think that probably is in the back of my mind too a lot of times, but not anemia.

Scott Benner (12:02)

You ever get your thyroid checked?

Bethany (12:04)

I actually just did. Through all of this, we've realized we need to be a little bit more proactive about our health care. So I actually just had a test ran last week, and I'm getting the results next

Scott Benner (12:13)

Okay. Let me tell you a couple things real quick. Yeah. On the anemia thing, if your ferritin is 70 or under, they're gonna tell you it's in range. I'm gonna tell you it could be the reason why you're tired. Mhmm. Okay? And iron infusion. Don't let them be like, take an iron tablet. It'll go back it'll go back nine years from now. You'll eat a whole field full of cows before your iron will go back up. So an iron infusion, you're especially if your insurance will cover it, is a quick way. Also, it's possible that you might have something called silent celiac if you have an iron issue. Look into that. And your TSH, if you have thyroid symptoms and your TSH is over, like, 2.1, say it's, like, 2.5, they're gonna be like, oh, it's in range. It's not that. But if you have thyroid symptoms and you have an elevated TSH over, like, two, two point one, you would probably benefit from the medication.

Bethany (13:04)

Okay.

Scott Benner (13:05)

Don't let them strong-arm you out of it because they don't understand the difference between green on the test and actual therapeutic needs.

Bethany (13:13)

Okay.

Scott Benner (13:14)

Okay.

Bethany (13:14)

I'll keep that in mind. I'm super fortunate. I think that's, like, one of the things that I said when I first reached out to you is just, like, I think we're so fortunate to have good people in our corner, and our general practitioner is one of the first people that when I told them what was happening with Jordan was like, you have to get in, like, today. Mhmm. Like, this is not a joke. You gotta get in. And has helped, you know, get testing done for my other daughter and, you know, is running these tests. So I think I'm pretty fortunate, but I am still gonna write these down because Yeah. I would get strong armed out of it.

Symptoms Before Diagnosis

Scott Benner (14:34)

Okay. So eight months, you're googling things. And what stops you from putting together what you googled and what you're seeing, is it that a, you just said, oh, that kid clearly doesn't have type two diabetes, so I'll stop thinking diabetes, or was it your nervousness to find out the truth?

Bethany (17:23)

It just kept saying diabetes, and I only knew about type two. So, like, I truly did not know anything about type one. Yeah. So I think that was a piece of it. And I think, like, looking back on it, I think that she was going through honeymoon phases where she'd have issues for a little bit. She, you know, would have issues with wetting the bed or and things that just this kid had never had. And then it would go away, and she'd be good for a couple months or, you know, a month. And then it was little things that didn't really tie together until it got to a point where it was so obvious something was wrong. I think also I have a niece who has bladder issues, and my husband's family would say, like, bladder issues run-in their family, especially with kids. And so I was kinda like, well, maybe that is what it is, and that is what the problem appears to be. It also talked a lot about, like, hormones and stress when I googled it, and we were in the process of moving. We had family moving into town. She was going through, like, what I would consider hormonal type changes. And so I thought, okay. That's that seems more realistic and probable than diabetes until, like, the last months before we actually took her in. I started to see, like, very direct relationships to her food and how she was acting beyond hangry if we had a plan for food and then the plan didn't happen or having a slushie that day and then not feeling good that night. And that's when I started to realize there's a direct relationship between these two things happening. And then, you know, as they got worse, I was like, we have to get this figured out. But it took a while for me to get there.

Diagnosis Day

Scott Benner (19:28)

So you get her to the hospital, but in DKA. So what are those last hours like?

Bethany (19:33)

Yeah. So I had reached out to our general practitioner, said I think she might have a UTI. Here's all the symptoms. She's drinking a ton of water. She's going to the bathroom all the time. I just need to get her checked. You know, they responded back that afternoon, and I didn't see the message. They called me, and they said, hey. Can you get her in first thing in the morning? And that didn't really ring any bells to me that they were being that urgent about it. But my husband was taking her golfing. He's a stay at home dad, so they were going golfing that morning. And, you know, they're both irritated that I'm delaying their tea time. It was funny that morning, I had offered her a Pop Tart. Really just because I wanted to eat the other Pop Tart. And she was like, no.

Scott Benner (20:09)

Bethany, you were like, I want a Pop Tart, but I'm an adult.

Bethany (20:13)

A 100%.

Scott Benner (20:14)

If I can get this kid to eat one, then I'll be able to go I can

Bethany (20:17)

have the other one.

Scott Benner (20:18)

It's open. I should just eat this.

Bethany (20:20)

Yeah. She was like, no.

Scott Benner (20:22)

Please tell me how old you are.

Bethany (20:23)

38.

Scott Benner (20:24)

That's awesome. Keep going. I'm sorry.

Bethany (20:26)

So I'm 38. I'm offering this nine year old a pop tart. I'm like, no. Seriously. Eat it. She's like, no. I really think I have to start eating better. And I was like, let's start on Monday. Like, let's start the diet Monday. We don't need to do that today. So I forced her to take the Pop Tart and

Scott Benner (20:41)

You forced her to you can't just eat this thing so I can have one.

Bethany (20:43)

Alright. The golf course. You're gonna get hungry. Like, you get hungry when you golf. So, you know, I gotta call an hour later. Hey. You know, the doctor says she has type one diabetes. I have no idea what's going on. They told us to go to children, and, you know, do you want us to come pick you up? And that kinda started the whole process. She was just kinda barely in DKA, so they said we caught it. They said, like, within three days, we would have been in the ICU no matter what.

Scott Benner (21:13)

I see.

Bethany (21:14)

And so we have a satellite children's hospital in our area, but it's not a very big area. They don't have overnight care in the endocrinology unit. So they flew us down to Little Rock. So we had to take a Life Flight that day to get down there, and we spent the next three days in the hospital just learning how to manage all of this.

Stay-at-Home Dad Discussion

Scott Benner (23:01)

By the way, respect to him tricking you into paying his bills. I did it to a a lovely woman too.

Bethany (23:08)

He always says he knows when to invest because we got married when we were 18. So he's like, I knew early. I invested early.

Scott Benner (23:13)

Oh my god. My wife was in college. I was like, this girl's gonna make money. I was like, I can't I could tell right away. It's like, she's smart, hardworking, smart. She's pretty. What am I doing here?

Bethany (23:23)

Right. You gotta take your chance.

Scott Benner (23:24)

I ain't letting her talk to anybody else. Take your shot. He got you when you were 18.

Bethany (23:31)

Yeah. We were still in high school.

Scott Benner (23:32)

He did trick you.

Bethany (23:33)

Yeah. Yeah.

Scott Benner (23:33)

Yeah. Yeah. How do you do it? Is he super handsome?

Bethany (23:38)

Yeah. I think he's pretty good looking. He's a hard worker, good guy. He's got a good personality.

Scott Benner (23:44)

Hard worker. I've been a stay at home dad. Let's not oversell that. So

Bethany (23:48)

I mean, he would probably agree. He would probably say the same thing. He says he's living the dream.

Scott Benner (23:53)

Oh, it's awesome. I swear to you, there was a time in my life where if someone would've made me go back to work, I would've cried. I would've just stood up and just burst into tears. I've been like, no. I love my life.

The Podcast's Impact

Bethany (27:10)

But that made us think of an impact because you have, Scott. And I think that's, one of the reasons why I reached out to you is because, to be fair, I also told you our story was boring. But, you know, it's because I really have felt the impact of the work that you've done and how it got to our area before we had this diagnosis. And we've definitely had the benefit of people taking the work that you're doing and, like, moving it forward. So

Scott Benner (27:36)

Can you explain that to me? Yeah. I'm sorry. Thank you. That was very nice. I appreciate that. But but explain that part to me. Like, I'm not dismissive. I just I don't wanna sit and make it feel like you're saying nice stuff to me. And I'm trying to find out what you meant by that. Like, people took it and did what? What is that piece?

Bethany (27:52)

Oh, I mean, I think the first month of after diagnosis, we got the do not die, you know, education in the hospital and the one you know, the three inch binder of information. And, that first month for us was super rough. Like, we didn't know about goals. We were just kinda told to stay higher because coming down fast is dangerous. Had been told to pre bolus. We had an average blood glucose of, like, over 200 that first month. And then we had a follow-up four hour education meeting. And our second diabetes educator is amazing. She has type one, but she gave us what she called ninja training. And that was basically, like, if you took the pro tip series and condensed it to, like, a four hour in person class, that's what it was.

Scott Benner (28:34)

Mhmm.

Bethany (28:34)

And she talked about your podcast quite a bit, and she had all of the episode lists printed out at that time on the table. And it was like, you can call me anytime you want. If you start listening to these, they're gonna get you through all of this. Oh. So I had that. And then my daughter's school has two other kids that have type one, and those parents really, like, took your advice and lists, and they, like, implemented it. So we walked into a school where every single teacher and employee has already had emergency diabetes training every single year. The nurses knew what to do, and, you know, there are specific teachers who had already taught these kids. And so they had really gone through all the hard work of, like, advocating, getting processes put in place. You know? So we were able to get a huge benefit from that, I think.

Scott Benner (29:24)

Can I ask you a couple of questions? Yeah. First of all, I realized I'm so relaxed and happy since my vacation, juiceboxpodcast.com/juicecruise. My emotions are very, like, raw right now. I'm not all like I would normally be a couple days before Christmas. I don't feel harried or crazy. I can't believe this is the first time I've ever gone on vacation right before Christmas. What a great thing to do. Leave your anxiety behind and do that, people. It's awesome. Make sure I'm I'm understanding you correctly. I'm not trying to take credit from anybody, but the hospital setting, when you're getting your training, there's a person talking to you, and now you've listened to the podcast since then. Right? Yeah. Is that person and I'm not trying to take anything away from them. Are they talking to you through a lens of having listened to this podcast, or are they a person who really understands the whole thing and offered you the podcast as a way to take that idea home with you? And I'm not trying to take credit for their knowledge, but if it is a thing that came from the podcast, I am interested to know that.

Bethany (30:21)

I don't know for sure. Mhmm. But she did say that she hadn't been taking care of her type one diabetes up until a few years ago and that she had listened to your podcast and then went and got like, she is obviously, like, in the endocrine system. I mean, she has the knowledge now, and I think that that's a piece of it. Like, she truly understands it. But she definitely told us, like, you need to go listen to this to take this home with you so you can keep getting the education that you need.

Scott Benner (30:50)

Two thoughts. Mhmm. If that person is listening, please come on the podcast and tell me that story.

Bethany (30:54)

I will tell her too.

Scott Benner (30:55)

Please. And my second thought is and please, I hope this doesn't sound self serving because I don't mean it this way. When you were saying that, I thought very quietly in my head, I thought, oh, I did it. Yeah. Like, I accomplished the thing I tried to do. I felt so accomplished at that moment. Like, you're telling me that I found a person with type one diabetes who is also a diabetes educator, and the thing that I gave them elevated their own health, and then they passed it on to you.

Bethany (31:21)

Honestly, 100%. Like, that is the main reason I reached out with to you is just to, like, thank you and tell you that. Like, it can be frustrating to think, like, you're not having the impact that you think you you should be having. I think I had seen a post where you had said something like that. And here I am sitting here, like, knowing that the thing that you are talking about, at least in my area, it's happening and working. And, I mean, we went into that class 24% in range. And in the two weeks after that, we were eighty three percent range. God. And that was the first time I had listened to the podcast. I kind of get OCD. Like, I dive into things, I really dive into them. So I had actually tried not to go online and get all the answers right away. I was like, let me just figure out what this thing is per the book. But after that, I started listening that day. I listened to the fat and protein series that day, and it just got us got us going.

The School Preparation

Bethany (33:33)

Yeah. Like, I met a couple of the people, and and multiple people have told me, like, these people went and advocated at that school. Like, they are known for the work that they did in getting that school on the track. And I would say, like, I appreciate it a lot more, especially these last two weeks because our school nurse went on vacation, and we had the fill in nurse. And my daughter came home, and she was like, yeah. This lady's not in it day to day. You could just tell. She's not in diabetes the way our normal school nurse is.

Scott Benner (34:03)

She's just trying to get through this week and get her checked.

Bethany (34:05)

Oh, I'm telling you. My husband got the schools, like, put in lockdown last week because they freaked out. I mean, like, we've we've experienced what I'm sure other people do every day, and it's been super frustrating. But prior to that, I mean, seriously, we told the schools, you know, hey. Jordan was diagnosed this summer. This is a new thing in our life. Yeah. I had your five zero four plan, are in sixth grade five zero four plan, and it was like, all people in the school have to have this education. And, like, it was like checking off going down the list. It was all already done from this other family who had done all the advocacy work, and she said that she listened to the podcast. That was one of the first things that she asked me when I met her. Like, do you listen to the podcast?

Scott Benner (34:44)

Wow. I'm so happy. I don't really know another thing to say. I can't decide if this is giving me the energy to make a decades more, podcast or if I just wanna now ask all of you to just send me a dollar so I so I can so I can so I can retire.

Bethany (34:59)

I think you're gonna have to keep working.

Scott Benner (35:01)

I've done it, everyone. If you all just sent me $1, I could get out of this, I think. But, you have no idea. Like, I'd miss it in two seconds.

Closing

Scott Benner (1:14:31)

That's it.

Bethany (1:14:32)
