Hey pals, I’m super thrilled to welcome Michelle Lord, T1D YouTuber, onto the blog. As times get even stranger, even sadder and even more bleak, community remains incredibly important. I’m proud and pleased to be able to share more voices from the type 1 community and spread insights of what life is really like with this chronic condition.

This little corker of a recipe works well at any time of the day - either a great way to start the day, a perfect afternoon pick-me-up treat or as a dessert. Easy to make, even easier to eat.

A few weeks ago, Claire Cole (founder of Movement for Mums) invited me onto her platform to discuss all things nutrition (particularly during lockdown).

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a fair while now, but I kept getting stuck on where to begin, how much to include, whether this is valuable. Anyway, I put that self-doubt away and decided that even if these points make a difference to ONE newly diagnosed person with type 1, then that’s a good thing.

Afternoon pals, how are you doing? Week 8, 9 (?) of lockdown - can you believe it’s May? To keep some form of semblance, I’ve got an interview with another type 1 diabetes superstar. I spoke to Claire, founder of Organising Chaos, a diabetic accessories brand for type 1 and type 2 diabetics. Claire and the Organising Chaos team offer products to decorate your diabetic supplies make managing diabetes a little easier.

Here I am with my husband Eddie, filling my chops with the most delicious frites and mayo in Bruges. Did I think twice about eating these? No. Would I have done 8 years ago? Yes. This is progress - it's about finding balance.

It’s lockdown, I get it, things are bad enough – now I’m asking you to think about exercise? Yes indeedy. The reason? You’ll feel better afterwards. I promise. If you don’t, you can’t have your money ba-…erm. Moving on.

I first came across Myrthe [aka girl0ninsulin] on Instagram and I LOVE her approach to living with T1D. Her honesty and openness is always so refreshing. She describes herself as ‘positive and real’ and I can attest to that!

In these rather surreal + tricky times, continuing with normality as best we can is the way to go. This is what I’m focusing on right now.

Published in Restless Magazine in December 2019. Imagine you’re ordering coffee in your local café. You look up, what do you see? Aside from streams of flat whites and delicate displays of Danishes, you’ll see freelancers.

Hello one + all! I am beyond excited to be sharing today’s blog post with you. As someone who lives with T1D day in, day out (as I know many of you do too), it’s not usually the physical stuff that gets to me.

Hello one and all! Happy January. I hope you’re easing into 2020 like a knife slicing through a block of room-temperature butter. Weird that my brain went to that simile, but we’re ROLLING WITH IT.
