#261: The Cost Of Diabetes Supplies In The USA & Why This Fueled My Passion, with Leah Healey
•
In today’s episode Eoin chats with Leah Healy (@one2onediabetes).
Leah is from the US, and has been living with Type 1 Diabetes since the age of 7. She is the founder and creator of One 2 One Diabetes, which is a company built by a diabetic, for a diabetic.
One 2 One Diabetes creates unique travel bags and cases for Type 1 Diabetes supplies to make traveling with the condition much more convenient and streamlined.
Leah has had an innate passion for business, entrepreneurship, and helping others living with Type 1 Diabetes all her life. These passions led Leah to creating a fundraiser when she was much younger called “Pennies 4 Pumps” and Dragonfly Jewelry, which helped raise funds for children to gain access to their Diabetes supplies.
What Eoin and Leah speak about:
- What it’s like growing up with Type 1 Diabetes.
- The beneficial impact that Diabetes camps had on her perspective.
- Traveling with Type 1 Diabetes.
- The reality of what Diabetes supplies actually cost in the US.
- Running your own business and the challenges it brings.
- Why doing something you’re passionate about is important to your consistency.
- And much more!

(AI Food Tracking Apps - Vida Health)
21:59|Today’s episode is a little bit different, because Eoin talks about something that’s actually made day-to-day life with Type 1 Diabetes that bit easier, food tracking.If you live with Type 1, you already know that carb counting and logging food can feel overwhelming, tedious, or just another mental load on top of everything else. Eoin has tried plenty of apps over the years, and honestly, most of them either felt too complicated or just didn’t fit real life.Recently, he started using a food tracking app called Vida Health, and wanted to share his experience with it; what he likes, what’s been genuinely helpful, and how it’s made carb counting feel simpler as a whole.This isn’t about perfection or tracking every bite forever. It’s about having a tool that actually supports you, especially when managing blood sugars day to day.So if you’ve ever struggled with food tracking, felt burnt out by carb counting, or just want something that feels more intuitive, this episode is for you.As always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.
