I've always wondered, what would it be like to have a Type 1 boyfriend?  It's already exhausting managing T1 diabetes as an individual, but I guess the biggest perk is they understand every thought, every feeling, and all the frustration. Emma and Mike got in touch with me to share their love story, and how type 1 diabetes brought them together.   You won't believe where they met... clue, think the most unlikely place for a pair of diabetics to come together ..read more

These days representation is so important, seeing and meeting other Type 1's is my favourite hobby… Matt says I’m the number one Libre  spotter  when we are out and about. I can’t help it! But I do wonder what  it's like for Type 1 children and teenagers, who might feel isolated wearing devices.

This blow my mind....it's literally the change I want to see -  design that is inclusive. Pl ..read more
