Highs & Lows: Life Alongside Diabetes — Sandwich Bread w/ Marcus

In this episode of our limited series Highs & Lows, Melissa talks with her younger brother Marcus about Squeezits and school lunch, blood spurts, bedtime scrambled eggs, and how Diabetes has always been a “normal” part of life around him—until moments of crisis reveal those difficult bits.

And since we're months into the show and have never breached the topic: it's sandwich bread time! Old reliable doesn't get much love but it doesn't get much better (and easier) than a basic sandwich bread recipe. Ours here is one we've made A LOT over the past few years, and have played with endlessly.

You can find this recipe, along with some helpful tips and insights on the blog at https://www.diabreadic.com/blog/basic-sandwich-bread-recipe

We mentioned Modernist Bread Crumbs in the episode, and if you have any interest in bread do yourself a favor and go listen to all of it:

Highs & Lows is a limited series exploring what life with chronic illness means for those who live alongside diagnosis—not in it themselves. In each episode Melissa sits down with a member of her family to talk through their personal memories of shared experiences with Diabetes, treatments, and all the funny/difficult bits in-between.
