In this episode, I’m joined by Virginia for a real, open chat about the postpartum period with Type 1 diabetes — the highs, the hard bits, and everything in between (including the moments where you’re running on snacks and very little sleep).

We talk about panic, hormones, wonky blood sugars, and the pressure to “do it all,” but also about laughter, learning as you go, and giving yourself a bit more grace. It’s an honest reminder that postpartum life with Type 1 diabetes is messy, human, and definitely not meant to be done alone.

This episode is for anyone navigating life after birth with Type 1 diabetes — especially if you need reassurance that you’re doing better than you think.
