    Theresa May: 'During PMQs my blood sugar went up'

    Theresa May: 'During PMQs my blood sugar went up'

    When Theresa May was diagnosed with type 1 in her 50s, she told the consultant: "I'm too old. I can't be”. Lady May says she would also eat Jelly Babies when her blood sugar dropped during meetings.
    The former Prime Minister has now chaired a parliamentary inquiry into the life-threatening consequences of having both type 1 diabetes and an eating disorder.
    She speaks to Today's Justin Webb why a joined-up approach by the NHS is needed so that healthcare professionals are aware of the 'conflicting pressures' on people with type 1 and an eating disorder. She also discusses her experience while in government of managing her blood sugar levels.

Nick Robinson is the best!

It’s always interesting and informative when Mr. Robinson is presenting. I particularly appreciate how balanced he is when he is interviewing politicians.
