Episode 9 - Tine Trommer: Mental health struggles with type 1 diabetes

My guest this episode is the fabulous Tine, a video producer from Berlin who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a student in 2013 at the age of 22. We discuss her experiences of depression and the relationship between mental health and living with type 1, and the major part that hormones play in managing the condition.

Tine is fierce, frank and fabulous, and not afraid to tackle subjects on her blog that many people avoid, all in the hope of breaking down the stigmas around type 1 diabetes and raising the collective voice for those who don't feel they can. Through her blog and Instagram Tine constantly teaches me things about myself, my condition and my place in the world as a woman and a diabetic - I highly recommend you give her a follow.
