Hello and welcome back to Before Our Friends Die! Today we are joined by Molly and Martha, two sisters. Molly was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 16. Their Dad also has Type 1 Diabetes so Martha is with us to give her perspective as an external witness to the disability.
We talk in depth about the impact diabetes has on the daily lives of those it affects, we learn about what symptoms to look our, how treatment has changed over time and we attempt to clear up the misconceptions that surround Type 1 Diabetes, which is often confused for the more prevalent Type 2.
This was an important conversation for us to have because although we know Molly personally, we have never sat down and talked about how Type 1 Diabetes impacts her life, and we feel much more informed now that we have.
