Diabetes Squad
Diabetics share something that not that many people understand. This is the place where we can be united, share experiences and tips, and work together to build confidence. Hosted by Manisha, a type 1 diabetic for the last 15 years, nothing is off limits.Food, fitness, dating... the list goes on and Manisha is on a journey to share and learn. Jargon free, and away from the textbook, this podcast is about having honest chats with both other type 1's and non-diabetics.

S1 EP2: Meet My Diabestie
Having a best friend that also has diabetes (aka a diabestie!) has been a huge help to me over the years.
Whether you have people around you who are understanding and supportive or not, type 1 diabetes can feel really isolating, so just being able to have a conversation with someone who totally gets it is so valuable.
When Julie and I met on a diabetes course (DAFNE) at Central Middlesex Hospital we instantly clicked, and she's been my diabestie ever since.
I'm so happy that I'm able to have these honest open conversations about diabetes, and I'd love to hear from you about your T1 experience too. Please send a DM or, even better, a voice note on Instagram with anything you'd like to share. My handle is @diabetessquad.
