Type 1 101: Jen’s Story Type 1 on 1 | Diabetes Stories

    • Personal Journals

It’s the final episode of Type 1 on 1 season 2 and my guest is… me.

After 10 weeks of chatting in depth with some incredible people about what exactly it means to live with type 1 diabetes, my astute and incredibly kind friend Will Hardy turns the tables to find out allll about my life with type 1 diabetes, and how my feelings towards living with the condition have changed over the 24 years since my beta cells gave up the ghost.

We cover diagnosis, careers, dating, if you can ever really have it all figured out (answer: no), and whether I would do it all again without type 1 diabetes if I had the choice. JUICY.
You were potentially hoping for a more high profile guest for a season finale but this leaves the door open for a bonus episode or two if we get to hang out in close proximity this side of Christmas.

With that I just wanted to say that being accountable for producing this podcast during the coronavirus outbreak has honestly saved my sanity on more than one occasion. While I’ve been so comparatively lucky compared to many, it's not to say I haven't had my fair share of wobbles, and I’m not entirely sure what I would have done without this podcast and my guests who have offered up their experiences so generously. Thank YOU, seriously, for keeping me connected to the world through your comments and feedback, and I hope there’s also been some small amount of comfort in it for you too, because as we all know living with type 1 diabetes is difficult at the best of times, let alone in the midst of a global pandemic. Thank you also to my fantastic sponsors Ypsomed mylifediabetescare and Dexcom UK and Ireland.
Sending all the love, and see you in another corner of the internet soon for more ridiculous, hilarious, emotional and real chats about this life of chronic chaos.
