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!
