Technology in Type 1 diabetes is moving fast… like really fast.

In this episode of Sweet Talk, we dive into the latest and up and coming tech shaping the future of diabetes care. From new automated systems like the Twiist System, to the growing conversation around Islet cell transplantation and what it could mean for the future of treatment, and maybe one day, a cure.

We talk about how far we have come. From finger pricks and manual calculations, to CGMs, pumps, and now smarter, more personalised systems. We also touch on what is happening here in Australia and overseas.

But it is not all just exciting breakthroughs.

We also get real about what it is like living with this level of technology day to day. The constant data. The numbers. The pressure that can come with it, and how easy it is to feel like your worth is tied to your results.

Because while the tech is evolving, so is the mental load that comes with it.

This episode is equal parts hopeful, fascinating, and honest.

🎧 Tune in as we break down what is new, what is coming, and what it actually feels like to live it.

In this episode of Sweet Talk, we’re getting real about something that doesn’t get talked about enough… intimacy and Type 1 diabetes. Yep! nothing is off limits.

We dive into what it’s actually like navigating sex, relationships, and vulnerability while living with diabetes. From managing highs and lows (in every sense of the word), to dealing with pumps, CGMs, body confidence, and those not-so-sexy interruptions, we’re covering it all.

We chat openly about communication with partners, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and how to handle the unexpected moments that come with having T1D in the bedroom. Whether you're living with diabetes or loving someone who is, this episode is all about breaking stigma, normalising the conversation, and reminding you that you’re not alone.
