  • Brilliant

    This is my kind of podcast! Just 2 normal blokes chatting about everyday life with Type1 diabetes. I literally binged the whole lot and was gutted when I did because it means I've got to wait until every Sunday for another episode 🤣.

    But it's nice to know that things you do as a diabetic other people do to and listening to them makes you feel normal lol.

    It's also proper funny aswell.

    Just love how real they are and how they don't hide who they are personality wise.

    Keep up the good work gu... more

  • Awesome podcast

    I just found you guys and am working my way through the podcasts. I was diagnosed in my 30s and it was basically stress which made my pancreas give up. Ten years later I spent 20 hours being kept out of a coma due to poor control. You guys say all the things I wish everyone knew about how it’s not easy to live with!
