Episode 33 - The Diaries: Pickled onion urine samples

Welcome to Type 1 on 1: The Diaries! Writer and broadcaster Jen Grieves and producer Ami Bennett are good friends - who both happen to live with type 1 diabetes. For this special spin-off series of Type 1 on 1, nana diabetic Jen (25 years) and baby diabetic Ami (3 years) chat through the frustrating, funny and challenging experiences they’ve faced each week thanks to this ridiculous condition. All in the hope that their stories might help you too.

3 episodes into the beautiful chaos and there's no signs of stopping as Jen and Ami discuss the challenges of giving a urine sample at the hospital and some of the more innovative vessels they've had to improvise with. Ami's had a nightmare of a blood sugar morning thanks to some inappropriately timed emails and an incident with 2kg of dog food, while Jen's loving life after being reunited with her insulin pump - although she's got a liiiiittle bit ahead of herself when it comes to what it's *actually* capable of. Oops.
