S2E4 - Love & Diabetes: The Spouse of a T1D’s Perspective ft. Angie Jarvis

In this episode we are thrilled to be joined by very special guest Angie Jarvis, the wife of the one and only Chris Jarvis (founder and CEO of I Challenge Diabetes)!

We dive into how Angie’s crash course on diabetes helped her overcome her fear of needles, what it is like to be married into diabetes in such a big way, how she supports her loved one with T1D and raising tiny humans with diabetes in the picture.
Angie shares some awesome perspectives as a Type 3 pal that we’re so grateful to have, quite literally, in the ICD fam!

We will end with some inspiring daily dose answers and know that we all have got this, together.
