Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

What’s it like to be newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as an adult? In this episode, I talk with Jessica Barber, who was diagnosed in February 2024. Jessica opens up about what the first year of life with T1D has been like, how she’s learning to understand her body in new ways, and why conversations about women’s health and diabetes are so important.

Key Takeaways

  • Early diagnosis journey — What Jessica has learned in her first year with T1D.
  • Menstruation and blood sugars — How hormonal shifts impact diabetes management.
  • Menopause and diabetes — Why this transition deserves more open conversation.
  • Mental health matters — The emotional side of adjusting to a new diagnosis.
  • Finding support — Why no one should go through diabetes alone.
