🎮💙 What if learning to manage type 1 diabetes felt more like playing a game than reading a terrifying instruction manual? In this episode, Madi Cheever, of TypeOneTypeFun.com interviews Video Game Creator, Sam Glassenberg.

When Sam’s 5-year-old daughter was diagnosed with T1D, his life changed overnight. As a video game developer (Star Wars, Hunger Games, Mission Impossible—yeah, that level), he quickly realized how broken the "onboarding experience" was for newly diagnosed families. So… he built something better.

🎯 Meet Level One — a FREE mobile game that turns complex diabetes concepts like insulin timing, carb ratios, ketones, and pre-bolusing into fun, engaging mini-games. Built by the team behind games for doctors, it’s designed for patients, caregivers, teachers, babysitters—everyone who needs to understand diabetes management, fast.

💡 Sam says it best: “What took me a year to learn, this game could’ve taught me in hours.”

🔗 Listen to the full episode to hear the powerful story behind the game and how it's transforming diabetes education.
