I'm so grateful to the beautiful Debbie Marsden and Ella Mae for appearing on our most recent episode of TypeCast and offering a very important perspective on living with #type1diabetes - that of a mother and daughter... But their story is more unique than most! 💙

If you've ever wondered if reality TV is showing you the full story, you need to watch my recent episode of TypeCast with the incredible Tasha from 'Married at First Sight UK'! 🤩

Talking all things from dating to how she told her new husband Paul about her #type1diabetes 💙

The most recent episode of #TypeCast is my favourite kind of episode - informative and hilarious! 🤣

Find out how @Nerdabetic test drives new diabetes tech, and why he thought #t1d was going to leave him with serious mobility issues 😳

It isn't often that a person can provide so much hope and inspiration to such a large group of people, but this week's guest, Pete Davies, does exactly that.

Having thrived with #Type1Diabetes for almost 70 years, Pete is a beacon of what is possible 🙌🏽💙

Proud of this girl 💙

In this week's ep, the gorgeous Nina shows us why she really is a badass when it comes to living with her #T1D - and even though this is her first podcast, she delivered it in English instead of her native German! 💪🏽 Badass! 🔥

Happy Diaversary!! 💙

Seen some troll-bot nonsense comments about this getting shared in the media, so just putting this out there..

Kendrick gave the BEST half-time performance since MJ. It's about the culture, and the MESSAGE.

There, I said it.

Ok, I'm actually done with home assistants.

Me: "Ok Google, lights off"

Google: "What's the value?"

Me: "What?"

Google: "What's the value?"

Me: "What's the value of what?"

Google: "What's the value?"

Me: "........"

Google: "What's the value?"

Me: "Just be quiet."

Google: "Ok then"

Omg they do this to me every time! I just walk up to them now and say, "I think you need to swab me" and it really freaks them out for a second until they realise 😅
