Diabetes Superstar! — A TCOYD Original Song
At TCOYD, we believe every person with diabetes can live a long, healthy, and happy life. And a big part of getting there is taking an active role — asking questions, digging into the details, understanding how your body actually works. But let’s be honest: some days it feels difficult. Some days diabetes wins. And that’s okay — because nobody has this thing figured out. Nobody.
Not even the Diabetes Superstar himself, who’ll swear up and down his CGM is a perfect flat line (spoiler: it’s not). The point isn’t perfection. The point is showing up, staying positive, and surrounding yourself with people who actually get it — people who laugh with you, not at you, and who know exactly what it’s like to live this life every single day.

Absolutely love it! Thanks for seeing the humor and our situation. I feel like people who don’t have diabetes will never get it, but seeing this gives
me hope 😊
We’re happy to hear that…thanks for your comment!
Pretty cool !! Enjoying it .
Thanks!
I love these songs!
Thanks so much – they’re fun to make!
Wow. I LOVE this. What a hoot. I live in Australia and would love to get to San Diego to hang out with you guys but it might have to be 2027. Meanwhile my gratitude for all you guys do is overflowing. I cannot thank you enough.
My adult sons are not at all interested in what goes on but again, I watch your videos, I hear about others and I know I’m not alone.
Thank you both ❤️

You Endos give me a great deal of inspiration. Many thanks for your dedicated efforts to help us Diabetics!

Love all of your videos! When I feel like nobody understands, I can always come to TCOYD and find something helpful. Thank you so much! 💙
Thank you for your kind words! 😊
These videos put a huge smile on my T1D face very single time!!!

I’m a retired type 1 professional musician and band leader. Retired in 1996. I still have the music in me and perform for fun.
I’ll be 89 in two months. The best Type 1 teacher I ever had was Richard K Bernstein,
Another thing I have going for me is my father’s genetics!
This was such fun. I love all your songs and music videos. How about a folk version next? Also, TCOYD has really helped me with living my life. Especially keeping me from getting down when I “have those highs and lows.”
Great fun and SUCH clever lyrics!
Love what y’all are doing to help us not only learn but be entertained as well. What a gift!
