  • The Diaries Check In: Things that go insulin pump in the night

    The Diaries Check In: Things that go insulin pump in the night
    2025/08/14
    It's been a hot minute but Ami Bennett (or should that be Dennett?) is back for a catch up!

    My dear friend and fellow type 1 Ami returns to give us the latest on her diabetes escapades.

    There's a lot to catch up on, as Ami's quest for a lower HbA1c has given her a few tales. I discuss the brave new world of tangles that come with a tubed insulin pump, Ami's been dealt a dia-fine and we accidentally invent the Diabetes Girl Guides.

    Plus, does anyone name their insulin pump? Asking for two friends...

  • Why is the UK Government debating diabetes in sport? Meet the man who made it happen

    Why is the UK Government debating diabetes in sport? Meet the man who made it happen
    2025/08/07
    On September 3rd 2025, diabetes and sport will go under the global spotlight that is a House of Commons debate. In today’s episode the man who made it happen tells us why - and what this could mean for the millions of people living with diabetes in the UK.

    Chris Bright is one of the community’s crusaders. As part of his role as Community Partnerships and Events Lead at Breakthrough T1D in the UK, he has put diabetes in sport on the agenda at the highest possible level. The goal? To improve the inclusivity of physical activity for people with diabetes.

    The need is clear - the Equality Act that safeguards around 3.5 million people with diabetes in work and education does not currently extend to sport. In fact, recent research found that of 180 existing governing bodies in sport, only four have policies in place for people with diabetes.

    Diagnosed at the age of 8, Chris overcame stigma and the challenges of a very inflexible insulin regime as a young athlete to represent Wales at futsal. He later used those negative experiences as momentum to build The Diabetes Football Community, bringing young footballers with diabetes together while rewriting attitudes to type 1 diabetes and football.

    In this episode we dig into different pockets of Chris’s work, including some new recommendations for travel, airports and airport security. We touch on his personal journey, and he reveals his strategy for successfully creating change in the face of inequality - perfect for anyone who feels as galvanised as I was listening to Chris’s phenomenal story.

  • Children with type 1 diabetes: Deep dive with senior paediatric diabetes dietitian Lila Digkliou

    Children with type 1 diabetes: Deep dive with senior paediatric diabetes dietitian Lila Digkliou
    2025/07/31
    Senior Paediatric Diabetes Dietitian Lila Digkliou has been helping children and families living with type 1 diabetes for more than 10 years.

    She was inspired to move from general diabetes care into paediatrics to help people with not only nutrition, but the perspective and tools needed to manage type 1 diabetes as early as possible in their lives.

    This value packed episode is full of tips and takeaways, as we discuss the most common concerns for parents and caregivers, how they differ from what young people are worrying about - and how to find common ground through the many complexities and pressures of type 1 diabetes.

    We also look at some interesting ways to encourage diabetes management among school, hobbies and hormones - and bust some common myths about what children with type 1 diabetes can and can't do!

  • An unboring conversation on the 'boringness' of daily diabetes life with Philippa Robilliard

    An unboring conversation on the 'boringness' of daily diabetes life with Philippa Robilliard
    2025/07/24
    The relentless, boring everyday that comes with living with type 1 diabetes can sometimes be overlooked in the stories we see online. While I think any and all achievements should be celebrated, there are days where just making it through without falling over IS the marathon.

    In this chatty episode, my guest Philippa Robilliard and I have an unboring conversation about the continual demands of the condition - from not realising you've run out of hypo treats until the next time you're having a hypo, to putting your children's needs before your drastically dropping glucose levels, and building a career with type 1 diabetes while being silently, consistently exhausted.

    Philippa also opens up about taking time off work to focus on her health, and 'relearning' type 1 diabetes 20 years into the condition, after she was diagnosed in 1988 at the age of 5.

    'I’m not surprised by what my diabetes is capable of anymore,' she tells me. 'I just want diabetes to be nothing. That’s what I’m aiming for.'

    If you're grinding through the everyday of type 1 diabetes while juggling career, friendships, relationships and family, wondering where the time goes, how you're going to do the weekly shop and willing your glucose to behave through that important presentation... this episode is for you!

    'We're seeing a phenomenon of type 1 plus type 2 diabetes' - Dr Jairo Noreña
    2025/07/17
    Dr Jairo Noreña is an Endocrinology Fellow at Stanford University.

    After training as a physician in his native Colombia, Jairo moved to the States to continue dedicating his life to medicine. With a triple specialisation in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, and Obesity Medicine as well as long-standing fellowships at prestigious universities including Harvard, Columbia and of course Stanford, to say Jairo has a wealth of expertise in endocrinology and diabetes would be an understatement.

    In this fascinating episode we discuss how GLP-1s can help people living with type 1 diabetes, the rise of 'double diabetes' when a person has both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and get back to basics with a helpful exploration of what the endocrine system actually is!

    Reclaiming freedom after adult diagnosis: Justin Eastzer on Diabetech and becoming a global nomad
    2025/07/03
    After six months of trying to treat his type 2 diabetes diagnosis at the age of 30, it was tech content creator Justin Eastzer’s TikTok followers that helped him to realise he’d been misdiagnosed.

    But the very condition that threatened to hold Justin back has since propelled him into a new niche, and today Justin's career is dedicated to speaking to his hundreds of thousands of followers about the latest and greatest in diabetes technology via his Diabetech platforms.

    In this episode Justin reveals how his adult type 1 diabetes has changed the pace of his life, what he loves about being embedded in an industry that is constantly innovating, and how he’s managed to reclaim some of the freedom he lost after diagnosis by packing up his life in New York to travel the world.

  • Managing ADHD, and how type 1 diabetes helped me find myself with Natalie Balmain

    Managing ADHD, and how type 1 diabetes helped me find myself with Natalie Balmain
    2025/06/05
    Back in 2017, I was working at BBC Health News Online when I came across an article about a lady who had launched a clothing range specifically for women with type 1 diabetes, designed to help them manage the condition with strategically placed holes for injecting or reaching devices.

    Its creator Natalie Balmain had the idea following her own diagnosis at the age of 20. Many years and many further creative ideas later, Natalie joins me as today’s guest.

    Whether it’s fashion design, hosting Insulet’s Typecast podcast, winning reality TV shows as a would-be politician, or working in corporate communications, Natalie is a master adapter, but also a crusader.

    In this episode we talk about how type 1 diabetes gave Natalie the confidence she never had, learning to let her guard down and build community, and how she manages her ADHD alongside the many demands of type 1 diabetes.
