Type 1 on 1: The Diaries - The abdomen doesn't get much action

Type 1 on 1 | Diabetes Stories

Another week, another flight, and Jen and Ami are finally on the timezone! Although Jen can’t actually say the word ‘timezone’ because she’s rocking that jet lag. But she’s very happy to be back in the UK, and now you lot don’t have to listen to yet another travel story every single week…
This week we’re talking about balancing type 1 diabetes with the demands of a day that hasn’t gone to plan, as Ami’s had a busy one. Is there a balance when it comes to life and type 1 diabetes, really?
There’s cause for celebration though, as our wonderful NHS have come through and Ami’s got herself a fully funded Dexcom, hurrah! She did have to climb into a bin to get it, but we should be clear that that was neither Dexcom nor the NHS’s fault. It was about time we had another bin story on the podcast anyway.
Welcome to Type 1 on 1: The Diaries! Writer and broadcaster Jen Grieves and producer Ami Bennett are good friends - who both happen to live with type 1 diabetes. For this special spin-off series of Type 1 on 1, nana diabetic Jen (25 years) and baby diabetic Ami (3 years) chat through the frustrating, funny and challenging experiences they’ve faced each week thanks to this ridiculous condition. All in the hope that their stories might help you too.
Thanks so much to Dexcom UK & Ireland for sponsoring this episode.
