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 since 2007, 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.

S6 EP2: Making Motherhood Possible
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Chukwuma Uduku (Dr Chucks) — my consultant at Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital and one of the people who truly held my hand through pregnancy with Type 1 diabetes. We chat about all the things: showing up to appointments with a million questions, the magic of good tech, why blood sugars don’t define you, and how having the right doctor in your corner can make everything feel a little less overwhelming (and a lot more possible).
This episode is for anyone with Type 1 diabetes thinking about motherhood, currently on the journey, or just needing a reassuring, no-judgement reminder that you don’t have to do this alone — and that doctors really aren’t as scary as we think.
