Hello friends, and welcome to episode 1065 of the Juicebox Podcast.

I want to be transparent when the microphone came live for this episode, I was expecting to speak with the mother of a child with type one diabetes. But what happened was, the mom signed the kid up for the podcast. And there was just a nine year old little girl there. It's not easy to interview kids sometimes. But I think Christiana and I had a really nice time, she's from Canada, and I teased her unmercifully about that. But I don't think she ever heard my sarcasm, which makes this sort of a delightful conversation in a way that you're not expecting. I've actually been really excited for this one to come out. I'm going to tell a story at the very end that you might enjoy. While you're listening, please remember that nothing you hear on the Juicebox Podcast should be considered advice, medical or otherwise, always consult a physician before making any changes to your healthcare plan, or becoming bold with insulin.

This episode of The Juicebox Podcast is sponsored by the private Facebook group for the Juicebox Podcast Juicebox Podcast type one diabetes, 43,000 members, strong type ones type twos, lotta gestational adults, caregivers, anybody you can think of. They're in there having a conversation that you would enjoy or be able to help with. If you're looking for community, head over. If you think I don't need community. You might not be right about that Juicebox Podcast type one diabetes on Facebook. I'm also going to give a shout out to the type two Pro Tip series The Type One Pro Tip series The after dark episodes, the mental wellness episodes, episodes. Let me use English. We're doing a great parenting series right now with Erica, you should check that out. Jenny and I are about to drop a new series called Grand Rounds you're not going to want to miss and I'm working on some other stuff for next year. I'll tell you about it right now. One of them's called bitch session, and the other one is called whistleblower. I'm not telling you anything more about it. You'll have to keep listening to find out. What do you think of that? I'm just trying to get in character to talk with a nine year old ready? Actually, I'm not going to start yet. Don't anyone else tried to trick me to interview on their kid? That wasn't cool. But I did like talking to her. So I don't know why I'm complaining.

Yeah, you can trust me. I'm looking at a map. Definitely the west coast of Canada. Yeah. Okay. Oh, cuz Vancouver. Vancouver is also in Vancouver, British Columbia. Yeah. Okay, I understand. Now I'm getting it all together in my head. So you want to be a nurse? You're like your brother. You don't? You don't pick on him. Ever. You never pick on him? Know tease them a little bit when nobody's looking. No, no. Does he pick on you or tease you? Why do you think you two are so nice? Your parents making you be nice. Are they paying you? No, no, no. Do you get a an allowance? Like you do stuff around the house. They put a couple coins in your pocket. Noah Looney are here. Here there? Yeah, no. Yeah. You know, they put they made diabetes money in Canada last year. Did you know that?

Kristyana 29:05
They put one second hold

Scott Benner 29:07
on. I'm gonna explain it to you. Because I don't know a lot of the words. Last year. Yeah, here it is. Canada issued a $2 coin to celebrate the research of insulin in Canada. You didn't You didn't see them? No, no, I have them here. Somebody sent me some somebody from Canada sent me some because they were very nice to me. They came in the mail too, but I just assumed about the dog. I guess I was wrong. Yeah, so it's like a it's like a coin with a picture on the back of like some like scientific stuff. And it says insulin and 1921 to 2021. So I guess it was I guess that was the 100 year celebration of when they found Did you know they found insulin they figured out how to make insulin in Canada. Oh,

Kristyana 30:01
no.

Scott Benner 30:03
Oh, that would be a good thing for a book report one day. Do you ever have to write reports?

Kristyana 30:08
No, not in first grade. But

Scott Benner 30:10
you know how to write though. Yeah. Okay. You prefer pencils or pens?

Kristyana 30:16
Pens. Yeah, me too. erasable pens.

Scott Benner 30:20
They make our erasable pens. That's amazing. Isn't that amazing? Yeah, yeah. All right, the guys that found insulin in 1920 they're called Frederick Banting. And Charles Best and there's other people say there was a third guy there and a lady but I don't know their names. But yeah, they they discovered insulin in Canada. That crazy. Oh, wow. Yeah. Makes you feel proud. Right? Yeah, yeah. I wonder what else they figured out in Canada. Let's look up things that were invented in Canada. Do you wanna do that? invented? I mean, I'm doing it but then I'll tell you about it. Alright. Marquis wheat. Universal Standard Time. Insulin, the snowmobile. Well, that's not surprising, is it? Oh, these are funny. The electric wheelchair. I don't know why that's right. I think

Kristyana 31:19
they have them here.

Scott Benner 31:20
Of course they do. They made them they're here. This is interesting. They say the telephone in 1874. Although the first telephone was built in the United States by Alexander Graham Bell, wait, Alexander Graham Bell claims to have invented the device in Brantford, Ontario. This guy's Canada. Yeah, that's definitely Canada. They also wait a minute. There's something here called Canada Arm. What could Canada RMB. Lights? The light bulb? You guys did the light bulb. I gotta stop making fun of you. Give me me. Hi. Let's figure out what Canada Arm is first. Oh. It's a series of robotic arms that were used in the space shuttle. Have you ever seen pictures? Do you know what the Space Shuttle was? Yeah. Okay. So there's they would open up the top of it. And they'd had stuff inside. And then they had a crane that came around and pulled it out. The crane was the catalog. Oh, wow. We're learning all kinds of stuff here. Also the Wonder bra. Do you know what that is? No, no, you're nine. You don't need a wonder bra. That's for sure. Bra. It's a bra. But I think it I don't know how to explain it. But it says wonder bra has been helping women in Canada feel and look beautiful since 1939 1939. How old would you be if you were born in 1939? I don't know. Do you know how to figure it out? Yeah, you take this year, which is 2023. Okay, then you subtract 1939 from that? And the answer is how long you would have been alive. 84 years if you were born in 1939. And you're nine, right? Yep. So if I subtract nine from 84 that means a person born in 1939. Is 75 years older than you? Oh, isn't that insane? Right.

Kristyana 33:27
Yeah. Turning 10 this year.

Scott Benner 33:29
You are turning 10 this year? Yeah. Let me be the first person to say Happy Birthday then. When is your birthday?

Kristyana 33:34
November 29.

Scott Benner 33:36
I'm a little ahead then. You're gonna have to remember this on your birthday. Are you having fun? Oh, yeah, you are? Is it? Why? Why are you having fun? Are you just being polite? No, no, you're not just like, oh, I can't wait for this to be over. No, you're having a good time. Yeah. Do you don't seem capable of why? What's the biggest lie you've ever told?

Kristyana 34:07
I haven't told him. No.

Scott Benner 34:09
Is that a lie? Just now? Did you just lie about lying? No, you've never lied. That's excellent. That's excellent. Let me ask you a question. You're outside in British Columbia, which we now know is a city or something like that. And you're walking around. It sounds like you probably have sidewalks and everything. Right? Yeah, right. Right. So you look down on the sidewalk. And what do you see on the sidewalk? It's a bag full loonies? You know what that is, right. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so a big bag full of coins. You're like, you start digging through it. Like there's a lot in here. What do you do with it?

Yeah, cuz if somebody was on the way to the bank and dropped their loonies on the ground, didn't realize it, to try to find out who's the They are do you keep them for yourself?

Kristyana 35:02
I tried to find out who they are.

Scott Benner 35:04
That's really nice. You know where that story comes from? My sister in law who found money when she was a kid and Cabot? My mom said money. Yeah. How much do you think? 2020? Oh, that's sweet. I once found $5 in the washing machine was super excited. It was even stupid because I think it was my $5 You don't? I mean? Isn't that ridiculous? Yeah, right. Like if I had $5, and I left it in my pocket. And then later in the day I reached in, I found $5. I wouldn't get excited. But for some reason, I left it in my pocket. And when in the washing machine when I saw it in the washing machine, I was like, I found $5. But I didn't really find it now that I'm stopping and thinking about. Interesting, right? Hey, how do you how do you feel about putting on your Dexcom and your Omnipod? Do you? Does it bother you? Are you pretty good with it? Do you do it yourself? Or do you let your parents help?

Kristyana 36:05
Where do you like to wait? Good, because putting the insulin into the pump is hard. Like drying it out.

Scott Benner 36:11
And then getting the ball and getting the bubbles out?

Kristyana 36:14
Yeah,

Scott Benner 36:15
yeah. Do you mind the clicking with the only pods going in? It's like click click click this. You don't mind that. Interesting. You think of yourself as a tough kid?

Yeah, we have a scale that you can put numbers in and then that's your number. Do you use that for it?

Scott Benner 39:46
Do you use that skill for every meal or just once in a while?

Kristyana 39:51
I'm asleep or when we're at home for dinner time. There's there's like noodles and stuff.

Scott Benner 39:58

I don't think you do. I have no idea what that is. I'm just gonna I'm gonna hit that one. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which was adopted in 1982 82. Come on, guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in its subject to reasonable limits prescribed by law. I don't know what that means. But apparently you got something called a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It's very wordy. If you asked me. You don't I mean, yeah, yeah. And 1982 what was happening before that?

Oh, lovely. Is it like long like to your shoulders or is it shorter? Was it very long?

A little longer than my shoulders?

Scott Benner 47:40
Do you ever look at magazines? Think about what you want your hair to look like? Yes, no. Do you like clothes? Yes, yeah. Do you like to put your own outfits together? My daughter loves to do that when she was low.

Kristyana 47:52
Well, I can't ask her school days.

Scott Benner 47:56
Oh, do you have to wear a uniform? Yeah.

Kristyana 48:00
Private School.

Scott Benner 48:01
Oh, do you have to dress like a Mountie? No, no. Do you know what a mouse he is? Yes. So you so is it like they? Is your uniform? Ugly? Or is it not? No. No. Is it blue?

Kristyana 48:17
It's like naked people.

Scott Benner 48:20
skirts or can you wear pants?

Kristyana 48:23
Like we can like your pants? Shorts? Skirt?

Scott Benner 48:26
Nice. You got to wear the leggings with the skirt? No, you don't have to. You don't have to. But do you in the winter? Because I mean, is it a very cold there?

Kristyana 48:36
No, it isn't too cold. But when you go up onto the mountain for skiing, it's my it's summertime is minus 30.

Scott Benner 48:46
That sounds horrible. Do you like skiing? Or does your family just drag you along? And you have to go? No.

Kristyana 48:51
I love skiing. Love it. Tell

Scott Benner 48:53
me about loving ski.

Kristyana 48:58
I like because it's like cold. The cold.

Scott Benner 49:03
You do like the cold? Yeah. Yeah. The cold makes me sad. Makes me say it's so cold. It's so cold. It's so cold. It's so cold. Why are we here? But you like it? That's nice. That's very nice. Okay, so what do you think we've learned so far today?

Kristyana 49:29
About definitely do go. And

Scott Benner 49:37
we learned a lot of things. They have cars in Canada who knew that? No, I knew that. You did because you're there but I've never been there before. Like, here's a question for you ready? Want to get really, like really thoughtful. Have you ever been to America?

Kristyana 49:51
Um, no. No.

Scott Benner 49:54
Okay. Do you think there are cars in America? Yes. Do you know that for sure. Oh, yes, no, you don't know that for sure. For sure. Here. Let's do another thought exercise. Are you in a room right now? Yeah. Okay. Is the door closed? Yes. Okay. Is there a big clown standing outside of the door? No, that's not the right answer. The right answer is probably not. But you don't know for sure. Because you can't see. There is an infinite possibility that there's a clown on the other side of the door. Do you like clowns? No, no, me either. No one does not even clowns. They're self hating people. Now, my point is this. Is there a clan outside of your door? Probably not. All reasonable. All reasonable thought tells us there is not a clan outside of your door. But you cannot with 100% Certainty tell me there's not because you don't know because you're not outside of the door. So let me re ask my question. Are there cars in the United States?

Kristyana 51:01
Navy. Very

Scott Benner 51:02
good. You've learned a lot today. Don't make assumptions. Okay. I've made a ton of them today. And not one of them was right. Remember, I thought you live where Santa Claus lived? I thought there were no cars where you? I believed you had a pet penguin that there were polar bears in your backyard. And that there were no tall buildings. Right. I was surprised to hear there were sidewalks. And yet all those things exist now. That's what you say? I don't know for sure. I've never been to Canada. I've ever been to an island. A nice warm Island

Hawaii, you know, Hawaii. Tell your parents. Here's what we're gonna do when we get down here. Don't forget we have some messages for your dad. What are they? Do you remember? Well, you would like a baby sister. Right? And if he's riding a lot of bikes sooner than later, probably. So you would like a baby sister. And maybe a nice Hawaiian vacation. Yeah, right. Yeah,

Kristyana 52:14
we are going to you this year.

Scott Benner 52:16
Look at us and see where in Europe? You're going. All right. Your dad going home? Yeah, yeah, you guys. Have you ever been to where your dad's from? We dance from Germany? A lot. drags you back to Germany all the time. So what is the how long is the flight?

Kristyana 52:36
Um, so here we usually go from here to Vancouver. Which is maybe in our insane Coover to either Frankfurt or the other place. We're going to this year, maybe 10 to 12 hours. Wow.

Scott Benner 52:53
What do you do? And then another

Kristyana 52:55
like, hour or two? Does

Scott Benner 52:57
your blood sugar try to stay high on the plane? Or do you do the? Um,

Kristyana 53:01
I haven't been on the plane yet with type one. Oh, okay.

Scott Benner 53:06
Okay, well, that'll be interesting and different. May I give you a little suggestion? Okay, when you get off the plane and you're running around looking for your luggage, that's a good time to like, make sure like to check to make sure you're not getting low. Okay? Because sometimes you're on the plane, you're sitting very still. And you're giving yourself a little extra insulin because your blood sugar maybe won't come down. Then you get up and you start moving and then maybe your blood sugar could drop. So that's a good thing to pay attention to. Okay, what do you what do you do to keep yourself saying on the plane? You got a movie you watch you do? Sudoku, what do you do?

Kristyana 53:43
Usually the plans they take have a built in iPads in front of you. And then you just bring headphones, plug them in and watch 12 hours of last time I went on a long flight. It's probably up for like six hours. Four hours of sleep. It was nice. For

Scott Benner 54:03
you slept overnight. Yeah, you know,

Kristyana 54:07
four hours.

Scott Benner 54:08
Do you know what they call a flight that happens overnight? What they call it a red eye?

Kristyana 54:14
Oh, well, we're going to share overnight because we're going to be leaving the first day of spring break at 4pm. And we'll probably get to Vancouver depending on what time we're leaving. Zachary by five or six. Wow, that's and we'll probably get within there's jetlag because they're like nine hours ahead of us so probably tired.

Scott Benner 54:38
Yeah, for sure. Sounds like you have it all planned out. How many? How long are you going to be gone for

Kristyana 54:45
six weeks?

Scott Benner 54:46
Wow, that's so cool.

Kristyana 54:50
As we every two months some summer break.

Scott Benner 54:54
What are you doing with that dog while you're gone?

Kristyana 54:57
My friends are gonna look after him.

Scott Benner 54:59
That's Lovely, very nice friends. Wow, that sounds really cool. And you'll get to go see where your dad grew up and stuff like that. I seen it. You'll see it again as long as there. Is the food better there or in Canada? They're really interesting. Canadian foods no good. Yeah, no, no, I'm glad you've taken the stance. Okay. This will probably be big news. Canadian foods. Thanks, says Christianna.

Kristyana 55:31
I never said that.

Scott Benner 55:33
Oh, look at you. Can you just let me have my fun? Thank you. Once you're done with all this, like, say, say later today, you're at school, you have show and tell?

Kristyana 55:48
No. That's only in kindergarten. How

Scott Benner 55:52
do I know? I'm not in Canada? That's why I'm asking the questions. So say you're in school later today. And your teacher says, we're going to go around the room. Everybody's going to tell us what you did. Before you came to school today. How would you explain what we did today? When

Kristyana 56:07
you don't do that?

Scott Benner 56:11
Are you practicing to be my wife? What's going on here? Just answer the question. So seriously, if someone were to ask you about what you did this morning, how would you describe this?

Kristyana 56:23
I don't know.

Scott Benner 56:27
All right. But you do know where you want to go to dinner when you get in the car. Yeah, where are we? Where do you want to go? If we went out to dinner tonight in Canada? Where would you want to go again?

Kristyana 56:35
I'm

Scott Benner 56:40

Scott Benner 57:47
Oh, the like, draw on them and stuff. Yeah, word find activities, connect the dots. And stuff like that. Yeah, I hear you. I used to love that. Does your mom and dad do it with you? Or do they let you do it by yourself?

Kristyana 58:00
I do.

Scott Benner 58:03
Okay, Christiana, I think we've had a lovely time. It's been a whole hour that we've been talking. Yes. Pretty cool. Is there anything that you want to say that we haven't said because we're gonna finish up?

Kristyana 58:21
Let's see. Yes. Go ahead. Um, back to the pump. Yep. I use we looped it on to my phone. Oh, did your daughter use that?

Scott Benner 58:39
Arden's using the loop three. Yes.

Kristyana 58:43
You just have a teacher now. Nice. How do you take his when we will go skiing sometimes we will go out for lunch. And then we would forget my TOMS shoes and I couldn't eat like the bread and stuff. Okay. Then when we looked at onto my phone because I would always have my phone with me. Yeah. It was a lot

Scott Benner 59:09
easier. Nice. That an iPhone you have over there. Yeah, yes. Fancy. You like it? Yeah, yeah. I am looking at my iPhone right now. Because I'm getting a message about Arden's blood sugar. What does it looks like? Like Princess Arden has eaten recently. I'm looking on night. I'm looking on Nightscout Nightscout us? Yeah. So she just looks like she. Here's what happened. Like she got out of bed and her blood sugar went up a little bit. I see the loop has been trying to fix it but it has only been able to hold our blood sugar around 150 and she has just bolused for food. Let me get my glasses. As I'm old as I brought up earlier, so it's hard for me to see the phone. Oh, look, there it is. 30 grams. She put in 5.95 units just now actually. Oh, yeah. Oh, they're right. How much insulin do you get?

Kristyana 1:00:20
Um, I cannot get 5.95 units, right? Yeah. 30 grams. She's, like 60 grams.

Scott Benner 1:00:29
That would be more like 60 for you. Yeah, okay. Yeah, Arden I have to say she's been doing the last 12 hours has been more snacking than actual meals. But now here's a meal going back like a day. 13 units. Oh, wow. Yeah. 13 units would put you to sleep. You'd be like, that's way too much. How much food would you have to eat for 13 units?

Kristyana 1:01:01
I don't know. For seven. I've had I've had 13 units before I think around that

Scott Benner 1:01:10
for Tim Hortons. No, no, for what? Pizza? Pizza. Wow, you've never had pizza on the East Coast of America. That's a shame. You would love it. Where do you get pizza from?

Kristyana 1:01:25
Um, we just use a pizza crust and make it Oh,

Scott Benner 1:01:29
you make it yourself? Oh, that's very nice. Yeah. Oh, that's lovely. There are no other pizza places where you can go out and get pizza. I don't usually do that. Yeah, Canadian pizza cannot be good. Am I right?

Kristyana 1:01:43
Yes, sometimes?

Scott Benner 1:01:45
Is it? You're so proud Canada, you're very pro Canadian person. I like this. They call that patriotic? They call it patriotic in Canada? I don't know. If we went back and did a transcript of this whole conversation. Do you think I don't know is the thing you would have said most?

Kristyana 1:02:08
Probably.

Scott Benner 1:02:10
I tricked you into saying probably. Because if I would have said to you, if we went back and made a transcript of this conversation, what do you what phrase Do you think you said the most you would have said?

Kristyana 1:02:23
I don't know? Exactly. Then

Scott Benner 1:02:24
I would have giggled to myself, but nobody else would have known. All right. Well, Christina was very nice to meet you. I really appreciate you doing this. Thank you so much.

Kristyana 1:02:32
You too.

Scott Benner 1:02:33
Yeah, you were lovely. I we can just say goodbye if you want unless your dad's in the room. And you want to go yes. Yeah. Do you want to tell him now that you want to baby sister while I'm still recording? You're not going to tell him? Can I tell him? Oh, you don't want them to know. Okay, well, it's just be between me you and the 10s of 1000s of people who will one day listen to this. Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. I hope you have a good day. You too. Bye bye.

All right, let's thank Christiana for coming on the show and her slippery mom for getting her past the screening process. I'm just kidding. I'm mostly kidding. I'm not kidding completely. And remind you to go check out the private Facebook group for the Juicebox Podcast. I hope you enjoyed this episode. I genuinely love doing this. And I promised I was gonna tell you story. I'll do that in just a second. There's a little outtake of crystianna and I saying hello to each other. And then I'm going to tell you a story afterwards. But I don't know there's nothing really left to say go find the private Facebook group and follow the public page to if you wouldn't mind it's just called Juicebox Podcast or bold with insulin or I guess maybe I should know what it's called. But there's links in the show notes. You'll find it hi, hi. Christiana. How are you? Good. Good. It's so nice to talk to you today. It's Oh, of course. It's is Is it very early in the morning where you are?

Kristyana 1:04:13
No, only 6am Oh,

Scott Benner 1:04:15
Christiana. That is very very, very early to me. It's nine o'clock where I am. Where do you live? Kamloops BC? Oh, in British Columbia. Yeah. Oh, no kidding. Where you were born there?

Kristyana 1:04:30
No. And yeah, in Vancouver. You were

Scott Benner 1:04:32
born in Vancouver. Okay. But your parents? Are they not from Canada?

Kristyana 1:04:37
No, my mom is but my dad is from Germany. Oh,

Scott Benner 1:04:41
okay. Oh, that makes sense. Okay, so I'm going to ask you some questions. Okay. And then you tell me your answers. I'll ask you more questions. If I ask you something you don't want to answer you can say I don't want to answer that. If I asked you something that you don't know the answer to. You can tell me that that as well. But I'm just going to try to find out who you are and a little bit about your story. Okay? Okay. Okay. So whenever you're ready, introduce yourself, just tell people your name and a little tiny bit about yourself. Okay. Okay, I promise your story. So, in this episode, you heard me ask Christiana, if there could be somebody on the other side of a door that she couldn't see. She kind of a thought exercise, right. But I was thinking on my feet there because I used to do that in my real life. But the way I was the way I would say it, obviously, she was nine. So I didn't do this. But when people would tell me you know, that they know for sure something, I would say, let me ask you a question. Do you think it's possible that on the other side of that door, there is a clown with a knife, getting ready to burst in here and kill us all. And I want the credit for not saying that to a nine year old, okay, I was able to tailor it down for the age. Anyway, after I recorded this, I ran downstairs and I said to my wife, I was like, I made a nine year old wonder if cars existed in America. So proud. Anyway, I was so delighted with myself and with this conversation, and I just wanted you to all know that what popped into my head to say about you know, a clown on the other side of the door I cleaned up. So for those of you who think I'm not responsible or don't like the way I talk or whatever, you know, you I'm trying really hard over here.
